Some of you may or may not know an FFR player by the name of "Monoc". He was an avid FFR fan that played the game over 1000 times and ranked #412 out of 283,000. He had apparently been battling depression for a long time and a family member contacted me today and informed me that he took his own life on April 21st. I just wanted to leave a news story to remember him by and pay a little respect for such a great fan of the game.

Best wishes and prayers go out to his family. We are very sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Synthlight

oh my god...

...

Wow.

[Moogy]

Wow...

That's truly sad...

[lightdarkness]

It's so sad.

So many emotions are running though my head, and i dont even know the person very well.

Man, it really makes you think.

RIP Monoc.

[fusi0n]

were you a friend of his or something synth? is that how they came about contacting you?

[Lupin_the_3rd]

what's even scarier:

In the Haiku thread (written on the eve of his suicide)

I like suicide
A gun to the head is quick
Bang and then silence

socio power complexes thread:

You can still shout out your opponents on the internet by being overbearing, overtly critical, and YELLING at people. A lot of people, even through the anonimity of the internet, still feel a minor twang of rejection if someone swats them aside and says STFU #$#%, especially if it is from an established member of a community to one who is trying to join. I really don't think that that is much of an issue in this particular debate because everyone is already established and obviously don't give a $*%# about what other people think of them, but you have to understand that some people take the internet more seriously than they probably should

Subliminal messages can be scary.

Lesson learned: DON'T take people contemplating suicide lightly. That is the last time i laugh at a suicide thread.

[Anticrombie0909]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I know what he was going through...well, to a certain extent, anyway. I've thought about it but never been pushed far enough to actually do it. It really is sad when somebody hates life that much, they actually choose to refuse it.

Poor guy.

[DJ_Weasel]

Lets hope not. I try my best. It seems to be working as of now.

[Jam930]

wow...how'd he do it, what was his name, and how can you be sure he really did?

[djsmalls]

I just moved up a spot in the rankings

...
no just no
how the hell r u gonna be happy about your rank going up as a result of someones suicide?

[banditcom]

That's crossing the line Vx...

[Lupin_the_3rd]

wow...how'd he do it, what was his name, and how can you be sure he really did?

I would pm synth if you wanted to know details. His parents contacted Synthlight saying that their son, Monoc, had passed away.

[tristia]

yep, it most definitely is crossing it, there was someone who posted something like that in the news post, but it seemed to have gotten deleted.
