Dead?

Normally, when someone dies on the internet. You would never find out about it.

You could only suspect why he hasn't been on since.

*knocks on wood*
 
You're probably remembering Serebii, who early last year fell onto an electric fence on a railway site and died.

This was obviously proved false when Serebii closed the topic, and stated that claims of his death were exagerated at best.

Or that was really Joe who died and we have an Imposter!

I might die after posting this post! *Eats wood thus dieing from all the wood because you can't eat it...*
 
I was pondering about this the other day. Usually if someone dies, nobody on the internet would know, unless a close family member or friend felt the need to inform others.
 
Usually, no one would know if someone died. Although, if someone posts alot in a day and then all of a sudden stops then people might start to think that something happened. Also, if you're close friends with someone on here and they would some how find out then more people could find out.

SEREBII DIED!!!!!!!!!!??????
But i dont get that then whos running serebii net and serebii net forums?And i dont know anyone who died who was on this.But properly if someone dies and theres a freind or someone whos a part of their family were on this would propberly tell.
 
Communities such as this, which have a vast amount of members with various popularity/influence, also have a high turnover rate. Some people stop posting due to lack of interest with the community itself or the subject matter therein, others due to problems with their computers or internet, or changes in their lifestyle that make active involvement in a forum more of a waste of time. Due to the mostly anonymous nature of the internet itself, and therefore the community in question, a member or former member's death would almost certainly go under the radar.

There are a few exceptions to the rule, such as those who have formed real friendships with others in the community, but unfortunately there are also many instances where the announcement of a person's death was a hoax. Given the right amount of creativity, one could easily fool a lot of people into believing that a previously active, influential, popular, or infamous member of a community had become deceased.

Sure, decent people don't joke about death or try to get a few cheap laughs at the expense of someone else, but the world isn't full of decent people. For the internet, that applies tenfold, since all sense of decency can easily be thrown out the window when you're hiding behind a username.

lol....

Anyways yeah it is hard to tell if someone dies. Since usually people can just stop going on the internet or just go to different sites.

Gliding Girl: lol.
 
Wasn't there some kid on this forum who claimed he had aids or something, a few months ago? Maybe he's dead. Unless he lied, that is... yeah, he probably did. =/
 
This is a big Forum, so people probably wouldn't notice if someone disappeared for a while, unless they have a few close friends, or they come on here every day or something...

And you shouldn't believe rumours, especially ones on the Internet.
 
I remember that someones mom made a thread saying that this user is died and that im his mom but no one really belived her because she did not use proper grammer.
