Sadly we received news today that one of our forum members, Walkingman, took his own life. His wife logged in to find out if he left any indication that he was planning on doing so :(

Several of us want to do something to mark this sad occasion, and have agreed not to post anything - a "forum silence" between 6pm and 6.10pm tonight, in honour of this member and the family he leaves behind, and to remember that Christmas isn't a happy occasion for some, who are remembering those who are no longer with us

Here are the links to the relevant threads:

*edited to add not working - see my next post*

May I also use this thread as a reminder that this is very much intended as a peaceful tribute, and ask that should you see somebody posting during that time, please don't make a big deal out of it - we don't want to start a war, just to do something simple out of respect.

Apologies if you have already seen the numerous threads about it - but you can guarantee some will miss them so I thought it was worth adding another now its getting close to 6pm.

Thoughtful and considerate post. I`ll be with you in a forum silence. And with you in thoughts and prayers Gabriel. Utterly devastating.
 
I know, sorry :o Its to do with copying and pasting them I think. Anyone who wishes to know more can look at the "ALL MEMBERS" thread in new lounge, or at Dame Twankey's sticky in Soapbox, or at the RIP Walkingman thread, also in soapbox.
 
What a dam shame. Thoughts are with the family and at Christmas as well. Christmas will never be seen in the same light again within their family. So very sad
 
:( :( :( Really drives message home about what is and isn't important in life. Thoughts with all the family, especially wife as she must have been through an awful lot. Didn't log out because I didn't realise we were meant to but I didn't post and spent the ten minutes trying to find posts by him and feeling very sad. :(
