How many horters have died?

[DooBi]

If I died today, none of you would ever know. I would just stop posting. Over the years how many posters do you think we have lost that we have no idea they are gone? Many of us have been here for many many years. There has to be several don't you think?

Yeah, how would you know? I’m sure it’s happened before.

Most of the time you would have to assume someone either got banned or became tired of arguing with the same posters.

There was a member here which we found out passed away. Forgot his handle.

Yeah that was Natural wasn't it?

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

There was a poster from several years back that passed. I believe either his wife or one of his kids came on here to let everyone know of the passing and to further advise us what he did throughout his life. It was a pretty cool moment.

I died in 2017. Everything posted by this screen name since then has been the work of AI, as per the terms of my will.

Right... it was followed by his initials.

 

[DropitlikeitsHawk]

Not enough

I recall a poster “Oakhawk” or something similar passed away, He posted a lot on WBB, IIRC he was from Mason City area, Someone who knew him passed along the news of his death and a link to his obituary. He was a good poster and provided some solid info on the WBB team .

Pretty sure NatAlgren(?) got blown up in an artillery barrage…

Is Diekman still alive?

Who was the cat who had Lou Gehrig’s (?) and posted right up close to the end. I think a family member passed (get it?) on the news.
There was a prolific poster in the old Locker Room, @BobInFairfax who was rumored to have passed on, perhaps at the hands on his worthless son in law (or daughter’s boyfriend?).

Dude that had a long username and died of some disease and then his cousin started posting here

@ihhawk found out from a family member of the poster.

What about Arby? Arbitra8 (sp).

Wasn't it determined he caught the deads?

Was it on the receiving end of a Ukrainian barrage?

 

[Hawki97]

One or two guys bite the bullet and 2/3 of the traffic on HORT is going to disappear like a fart in the wind. I won’t consider it much of a loss.

 

[TheCainer]

Whatever happened to Brushy Bill / William Bonney?

He seemed to disappear shortly after 1/6.

This explains a lot. Like the dog pic. T’s and P’s.

Yeah, like didn’t you take a walkabout a few weeks ago? Ditched that Ricky Gervais (IIRC) thingy?
How did HROT survive?

Natural. 73Chief are the two I remember.

That guy and Natural both had an amazing sense of humor and wit. The board lost a lot with their passing.

There was a guy on here who had ALS and I think he passed. Decent guy, too.

As in Nathan Algren from the Last Samurai? Lol.

In 2024 it is "like a fart in a derecho".

I think you missed my point.

If Ryan and all his aliases goes on a permanent walkabout - this place will be crickets!

And speaking of Ryan, RickyG has been reserved for only one poster…here_4_a_day and his stolen valor. If he is gone, it is gone. If he returns, Ricky returns. Think of seeing Ricky as a giant bat signal that you’re in a total dogshit thread and a worse than dogshit poster is in it. I’m providing HORT a public service.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

sailorjerry? That guy who always posted about Omaha murders? Keystone69 ?

Got it.
You know I like you and love dishing you rafters of 💩 on a daily basis, right? 😘

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

 

[hawkifann]

lil_zaphod was one who died way back in the day. Certainly pre-2010.

 

[Hawked]

C-Note-Hawk was a poster that passed. Anyone remember him? I sold him tickets once and sat next to him. He wore an iowa 24 jersey that said c-note on the nameplate. I didn't really like that but anyways...

 

[DooBi]

It's fun to remember posters that we have lost. It's cool to tall about them. I wonder how many are gone that we will never know that they died.
