 I can't believe this...

Oh my God, I can't believe what I'm reading... Shocked This is so sad. Sad He was a pretty cool member and I just can't wrap my head around this tragic news. It is always such a shock when an procedure deemed "safe" turns into a tragedy.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

May you rest in peace, Mikkel. You will be truly missed.

R.I.P.

Cheers to the toast. May he smile on uF from Heaven.

Not that uF deserves smiling at the moment...

I don't really know who this guy is. Like I said in the other thread, I signed up the other day and didn't think I'd come across something as depressing as this. I don't even know the guy but it's nice of everyone, at least to send their condolences. Whether it be real or not, be courteous, not an a**.

But, if you guys think this is a joke, go and get a moderator to do an IP check on the OP. This will narrow down the activity. Chris mentioned something about using his account due to his friend's wishes, or something along those lines. But if he is still using his account, then he wouldn't have the same static IP (i.e. using the computer from his house). That makes sense, and it's worth a try since everyone seems to be so hell-bent on getting to the bottom of this.

Still, sending out my condolences and whatnot. Sorry for the news, man.

I know what it's like to lose a friend. And if this is a joke, it's not funny.

The IP wouldn't be much use, because if this was a roommate on a shared internet connection the IP would be the same. If it was one person doing all the posting, it would also be the same. Thus, such information is plausible and reasonable in both cases and inconclusive. Basically the only confirmation we'd have of the death is an obituary, which nobody has yet provided. A single foreign national might not get an obit though. If a family member follows up with all the details of closing a deceased person's accounts to the point of taking care of online registrations, and they for some reason didn't have their credential to complete such a process, they'd need to provide proof of relationship and of the death of the account holder - basically a death certificate. Most people don't bother to close a dead person's online accounts though.

Nah. Sorry dude, but im not wrong for calling either of those assholes out for their lack of tact. They are both pieces of shit for doing what they did, and whether i encouraged them or not, somebody needed to tell them that they were grossly wrong for that shit. You can say i was wrong or say that it was innapropriate until your blue in the face, what i did was the right thing to do in my eyes. I'll defend any and every single one of my friends on here any day of the week, whether i knew you like porry, or your just an aquaintence of mine, like you and a ton of other people on here. Hell, even if ive only spoken to you a couple times and i think your an ok guy, if somebody pulls some shit like they did to Mikkel, theres no way in hell im holding back anything at all that i have to say about it.

I already apologized to any mods that were reading and anybody who took offence to what i said personally, but i wont take any of it back, reguardless of who thinks i should. Sorry dude, but i am a man of substance - and i dont mean that i use substances, lol.

I didn't say you were wrong. Getting angry is an obvious reaction. I'm just saying, the one and only reason that they made those threads is to get people pissed...in you doing so, they succeeded. Got em banned too, but what do they care, they're trolls?

yeh i guess u got a point man. I had to take a day off to just cool my jets n stop ranting at anyone who i thought was talkin shit in response to my posts about all this crap. So my bad about assuming that you meant to offend. And same goes to anyone else who i may have attacked misguidedly, It's been a fucked up couple of days ever since i read this thread, and i am sorry. Until we can find out for sure what the hell really happened, ie : an obituary, or mikkel coming back on to tell us that his friend is an asshole and did all of this as a joke - im just gonna chill out on the lashing out at people because of all of this shit. That is, unless another piece of shit comes to the surface of the bowl like slusho or supercooze. If that happens im gonna go - how did euchre put it? - oh yeah, bat shit insane. Wink

btw - has anybody done a search on the obits in his area yet? even if his body got flown back to his homecountry there would still be an obituary in the US papers reguarding his death. any death that goes through a United States hospital or mortuary comes with an obituary or at least a notice of death in the newspaper within a week of his death. I'll do a quick check myself but if anybody that is better sourced than i am wants to do a check also, it would be much appreciated.



*EDIT*

Ok, i just did a Death Record search. Rather than an obituary search, which would take a few days for something to come back, seeing as how it could be up to two weeks before an actual obit is posted in the newspapers, a Death Record search has the most up to date records of death in any state within the last 48 hours. I did a search for the state of Georgia, which is where Mikkel was staying, and no results came back whatsoever. I even played around with the spelling of his name, just to be sure, and no death records came back for one Mikkel Saalvog. Now, im not dismissing this thing entirely, but i think that its pretty safe to say that porry aint dead, and this is some fucked up joke played on us at his expense. I really cant wait for him to get back on here to tell us who the hell it was that did all this bullshit, and he better kick the shit out of the guy for each and every one of us. Even if he were taken out of the country for his funeral, there would still be an account of his death and a certified record of it in the United States database. Even if he were an immigrant with no Social Security number, there would still be a record of death. Im pretty damn relieved personally. I never thought i would be happy to find out something was a lie..

blah blah blah.

It's the internet. Posting something like this without proof of death is just going to bring this response(especially in unfiction).

Let's just label it OT and call it day.

That's way too much work to do. I just sent a thought-speak message to my Andalite friends in Georgia, and they told me that this was all a lie.

Yes, an Animorphs reference for absolutely no reason.

I can second this (not that it needs to be seconded, lol, but I do like to feel important every once in a damn while)...I did the same thing, searched everywhere I could find, and no luck. There's not even any record of any "Saalvog" living in the US, let alone Mikkel Saalvog.
In fact, the only Google hit for "Saalvog" is this site...is it even a real surname? Man, I wish I had some Norwegian friends/sources.

Between this and the ARE/ARG shit...is it just me, or do we just really need a mystery to solve?

Does it really matter whether it is real or not? If you're not going to show respect for the OP, at least show some self respect for yourself.
