Michael Alvarez who was the owner of VRT took his life last week.I just wanted to let those of you guys know.It is very sad that it came down to that.Life is too short! So maybe the VRT thread will finally come down since there isnt a whole lot of purpose for it anymore!

Hey Paco....I couldn't AGREE with you more. Sometimes your brain is misfiring so badly (clinical depression) that it gets the best of you. I know first hand, but I fought thru it.

Hate to see this happen to anyone..its sad.

I would of and have said the same thing for years and years. I used to believe that anyone who takes their own life was weak. Unless you have TRULY experienced clinical depression, you have no idea how much your brain F's with you 24/7 and you just want it to stop and thats when people pull the plug and check out.

This is really sad. I never investigated that story, but I could tell by the tone of some members that it was a bashing thread. Although some people are pre-disposed to certain behaviors, this didn't have to happen.

Not trying to sound righteous at all (I would be the biggest hypocrite because I post dumb crap, sometimes), but this is the reason why I post and have the position I do in Forge's reintroduction thread. For those who contributed, positively or negatively, reflect back upon some of your posts and see if you conveyed your thoughts and opinions in the best light. Some people fight harder battles than others.

R.I.P.

It is the Relentless thread not VRT and as far as anyone knows Mr.A's partner is still alive.
