I don't think I ever directly interacted with him. I read some of his posts by default when I was lurking on the prior boards, and I was never sure what to make of him. Still, death is death, and I'm very sorry to hear it one way or another.

I'm leaning towards the theory that this is a joke. I searched Google to see if his obituary would show up on any newspaper website and there were no results, plus he (or possibly someone using his account) did leave some comments on YouTube videos or profiles, as has been pointed out. If this was true and mihona actually did have his password, wouldn't she have likely updated his profile with a message that he had died? The OP also reads suspiciously like something he'd say to see what we would say about him, and this is especially suspect because, while it isn't technically April Fools anymore, it's close enough to be a belated April Fools joke that he waited to post to make it look more legitimate. It's also likely that if he actually did go into a coma the news would have somehow reached us earlier. There's also an apparent contradiction in mihona's statements reproduced below: You might want to know because he always talked about you, and he thought very highly of you. He said that you proved him right when... the reason I found this website in the first place... So mihona goes from saying Darck always talked about the site to saying she stumbled upon it because they shared a computer. That sounds pretty suspicious to me. Of course, if this is true it really is a shame that he had to go so young and in the way he did, but a lot of the facts don't seem to check out. You know what, I've been looking into this, and everywhere I look, Darck stopped posting on Jan 29th, pretty abruptly. So something happened Jan 30th, and whilst I suppose he could have just planned it as some sort of 'experiment' or taken advantage of a less serious absence, I can't seem to manage to believe it anymore. Besides, you must be going through a tough time Mihona, and I don't want to make it any worse by being an absolute git, I'm sorry, for what it's worth you can have my condolences, Darck was a good guy. While this would normally convince me, everything else makes me think he planned it to make it more believable. Mihona, if this is true do you have a link to an obituary that Google didn't index for whatever reason? For the reasons listed above I'm very unconvinced that this actually happened and I, along with many others from here, would like some evidence that it actually happened before believing it. Is (was) anyone on here friends with Darck on Myspace or Facebook? If so, perhaps his profile would be able to provide some information. I'm sure friends from school would have left "get well soon" and "RIP" comments from the points of the coma and his death, respectively. If any of you are friends with him on those sites we'd all appreciate it if you shared that information on this thread. Again, sorry if he actually is dead, but all these potential pieces of evidence that he's not can't be ignored.

Actually your "contradictory statements" aren't contradictory at all. Even if he DID talk about the site all the time, that doesn't mean she ever had any interest in looking it up. My sister talks about manga all the time, but that doesn't mean I automatically want to read her latest obsession, and if I was helping her pack things to move I could say that she always talked about the books but the only reason I even read them was because I was going through her boxes and found one.
It really does follow. I'm not saying she HAS to be telling the truth (or that she is even a she), but it's possible.

The newspaper in the tiny town I grew up in doesn't have a Web site. (The paper comes out twice a week and averages about 30 pages over the two editions.)

What Sandman said.
I don't revel in the death of anybody except in cases of genocide.
But I'm not convinced this is NOT a joke and that is because of the legacy that DS left behind for himself. That is nobody's fault but his own if this report is taken with skepticism.

That's sad Assuming it's not a joke, and I wouldn't put it past darck to do that sort of thing, I mourn with you. I didn't know the guy very well, but he wasn't a bad poster.

I would like to wait and see if it comes out that this is a joke too, but if it really did happen then I am really sorry. I am also diabetic so I know how scary that shit can be.

Okay... this is going to come across as very callous, but then again... that's pretty much me, anyway:
Darckseraph's "friend" claims that this Darckseraph person presented themselves as someone they were not, lied, attempted to manipulate people, and was generally an asshole...
and you guys are falling all over yourselves to give condolences?
If what the OP says is true, DS was a real jerk who had no respect for any of us, so I won't be joining in the tearing of clothes and beating of breasts. then there is one other consideration:
I do not know if this person has actually died, as we have no evidence, and given the information in the OP, I am inclined to demand evidence of these events before I believe the story given here.
In other words: POST DOX OR STFU.

It really does follow. I'm not saying she HAS to be telling the truth (or that she is even a she), but it's possible. I talk about people on the sites I visit, especially with my ex. She doesn't know FSTDT from GameFAQs or a hole in the wall, though. So it seems reasonable that she might know about some of you folks, and still not know the board. Until, of course, something happens and she's looking at my browsing history and pieces it together. Like you, I'm not saying this is the case, just expanding what you said a little because of the possibilities.

And you wonder why we're falling all over ourselves to offer condolences? Because it's possible that someone DIED. How is that not enough to offer condolences?

It's *possible* that someone, whom the OP claims has lied and manipulated others in the name of "social experimentation", has died. Read that again, please. One more time.... ....and once again for good measure. Can you now see why I'm sceptical about the OP's claim? again I say: DOX or STFU.

Darckseraph's "friend" claims that this Darckseraph person presented themselves as someone they were not, lied, attempted to manipulate people, and was generally an asshole... and you guys are falling all over yourselves to give condolences? She still lost her brother. I didn't know him, so he might have been a real git, I don't know. But that doesn't change that she's lost a sibling. I know what grieving is like, I lost someone close, someone young, very recently. I would rather say a kind word at the risk of some kid having a little smirk to himself behind a computer somewhere, than speak harshly and heap more pain on someone grieving. And darckseraph? If you're reading this, you're either a real arsehole, or you need to find better things to do with yourself in the afterlife.

I already knew darck manipulated people. He stated as much on many occasions. It's possible what I knew about him was false or distorted. But still, I liked him. And I miss him.
