Horrible news, he seemed like a great guy. My heart goes out to his friends and family, I hope they can get through this ok.

Like many others have said, I'm always happy to talk to anyone who needs a friend, someone to listen, whatever it is. :hug:

Wow, this is as crushing now as it was last night.

He was a great dude, and the first interaction I had with him was through Secret Santa two years ago (or was it three?) when Rygot bailed and fell off the face of the internet. This dude Twangasaurus, whose post count was in the hundreds or even less than 100 pm'd me and sent me a pedal, just like that. What a great person and whenever I saw him on the forum I had the warm Santa feeling over again.

Stuff like this makes ILF what it is.

I remember the story about him sitting in the car as a child watching the landscape pass by imagining he was jumping over mountains and such as if in a videogame, from time to time it still pops into my mind, so imaginative and also very recognizable. :)

Life can be so strange, difficult, so boringly predictable yet just as unpredictable at the same time, unbearable, it can be quite a struggle.
I really hope he is relieved from it now and that his family and friends can find a way to cope with the loss and with what has happened.

Sweet dreams friend. :hug: :!!!:

I can't think of a proper response that doesn't involve a string on incoherent expletives. He seemed like such a nice guy. I will truly miss his presence here.

We're all a bunch of weirdos here and we go through hard times or dark times. It does get better. It gets easier to endure and it stops hurting so much. Or you find ways to put yourself in a better place so you can live the life you want.

i only knew Twangy a bit, but he was such a delightful little guy. he will be missed.

this. i was in a pretty bad place over the last couple years. being able to check in on all the delicious ILF shenanigans was always a bright spot of the day.

please, PLEASE. if anyone is feeling low, reach out. everybody has bad times, everybody here has gone through parts of their life they hated. it gets better.

Man, i totally forgot about that. True ILF spirit through and through. Fuck.



guys, reminder that if you have change to spare you can enter this and potentially win a bunch of swag including a Bitquest which our incredible Dr Ryantist is contributing, as well as support an important charity that directly deals with depression and anxiety. either way, his family and friends really appreciate the response and thank you for reinforcing our community spirit so much.

jesus, twang is one of my favorite ILF members. I found a lot of cool music from him and we felt the same way about many things. learning about his death tonight is making my head swim. incredibly sad that he is no longer with us. thank you for telling us about this backwardsv. I wish I could have done more to help him.

Shit I didn't know till just now. I had a bit of interaction on here with twang. He was such a great dude to talk to, and had such an awesome imagination. I feel gutted as I type this. Such terrible news. I wish his family and friends all the best in this sad time.

If any ILF members are having similar problems, then please contact me for a chat. I am no stranger to mental health issues. I usually hide mine behind a veil of stupid fucked up humour. But I'm always serious when it comes to these kinds of issues.

ANYONE, if you EVER feel like this, message me and I will give you my phone number and we can talk. I don't care if we've never exchanged PM's or what. The offer stands, always.
This!

If he's not on, PM me!

Add me to the list as well,

This just sucks, the whole thing.

Thought's and prayers for his family and friends.

Just like Ben, Evan and a few others have said, I'll throw it out there that if you're ever feeling like this, please contact me as well. I'll do whatever I can to help.

Shit if I have to I'll give you all my cell number just to help.

I'm still blown away by this. So sad. I'm praying for his family.

How horrible and heartbreaking. RIP Twangster and my the peace you so longed for be yours.

To the other ILFers out there; I've walked that darkness and should anyone need to, I'll walk with you as darkness and I are old friends...
