I am logged on as ARGH but I am his sister and mother of the beautiful boy that appears many times on this site. What you did not know, as he intended it that way, is that my brother had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) as well. He adored his niece and nephews and it broke his heart to know that Lucien would face many of the same challenges as he had. We lost my incredible brother on June 10th to complications of SMA and we miss him terribly. The woot fun, the crazy contests, and especially the community was a big part of his life for quite some time. It is so touching to peek on here periodically and see you unknowingly honoring him the way you have by keeping the SMA charity thread alive. Thank you and blessings to you all.

PS I would post an updated picture but I am not near as savvy as my brother and do not know how. If you are want to, e-mail me and I will send one to be posted.

Sorry to hear about ARGH. He was always fun, always someone who you wanted to read what he posted. He will be missed.

I'm very sad to hear about ARGH. I always enjoyed his wacky posts and sense of humor.

Or "Mammaryiam." I think he'd appreciate that.

Me, too. There are a lot of good memories & moments of hilarity in the forums.

How come I got to be the balding dude, btw??? I can't tell you how many times I have had to tell people that I am female. Pffft!

in hindsight, you had to be the balding dude because coincidentally the other guy looks more like ARGH

Really nice and amazing considering you didn't know what he looked like.

you are???? lol

This reminded me of ARGH. I didn't see much of him, but I think he liked "ducks". He had a picture (and then a link) of a pond with ducks in it, on one on the contest threads but I can't seem to find it.

I am stunned by this news...


Alien (I also know his name, but I leave it to his family if they want to reveal it) and I talked via PM about a friend of mine who died too young. He was there to help as he was facing the same himself.

My condolences to the family. He was obviously a great guy to be around, with a crazy sense of humor and a stunningly sensitive heart. Seldom did he fail to make me laugh with his silly posts.I hope the charity will be flooded with wooters' donations.

RIP, Alien.

My heart goes out to all of you and to his family. This poem was on the memorial card of a friend that passed last year. My condolences,

You spoke to those who were lonely, you comforted those in pain,

You brought out the sunlight, when outside it began to rain

Maybe if I try to remember, I can make it real

Oh, why when I find a friend, does God have to steal?
