Hugh aka Obiwannosi passed away on the 15th.
He'd been ill for a while and although it was sooner than they'd hoped he went peacefully.
I don't have any info on final arrangements or the like.
End of an era, truly.
Rip bro...,
He loved these forums.
Is that Obi?
If so, he was a stand up and prolific poster with a cheeky streak. Always modding on various forums.

Oh no :(
You know for years, he was always the first person to wish me happy birthday on my birthday. And by years...I mean 15 years.
I'm going to cry this year when midnight hits and he isn't sending me pictures of cats with party hats on.
Fuck :kleenex:

He was a really....really great guy.
So thoughtful and easy to talk to.
RIP twap :*(

There was a guy that dropped by here once in a while who called himself the wise and powerful. Is that the same fella that passed away?

Seems like it was... but he was model message board mod material and was good at squirming into the positions, yet doing a great mod job with them.
I believe he was from Texas or near-abouts. Obi was the voice of reason even if nobody listened to him at all... :crampe:
I was thinking of him just yesterday. He always wishes me a happy birthday on facebook. He truly will be missed. RIP
Damn that sucks.
RIP twap
Rest in peace my longtime friend :cry:
Oh wow. I thought that man would live forever.
RIP Twap. He couldn't stand my ass lol
TWAP hated Oak
Didn't even want to be on a site she posts on
Good judge of character
Yes Obi was also sometimes known as The Wise and Powerful (I got way too much amusement from calling him ThWAP).
He was from Colorado; the Denver area if I'm not mistaken.

He was pretty old. Right? Had to be in the upper 80s

I know he was older than me (60 this year) but exactly how much I don't know. It didn't seem like an issue because Obi was and always would be Obi. I guess I just sort of expected he'd outlive us all.
RIP
He knew so much.

He usually posted in the music thread. Maybe he just wanted to get to know Priscilla.
I didn't know your friend, but RIP to TWAP.

I was thinking of him a few days ago interestingly enough.... I most likely picked up his death intuitively.
Thank you for telling us Vitty..
RIP Obi aka TWaP

He would have been early 80s I remember his 75 th birthday... I am thinking 81 or 82....

Yes he would send me pics from there. He was mad I never visited there. I told him I've been to Vegas lol he says that does not count. Oh we laughed. He was the best. I still have the messages. :cry:
OBI took much interest in my photographing fireworks. As a child he was poor and they missed out on fireworks on Guy Fawks night.
These are for him.

Cathy, it's like we are amongst the last ones left.

Vitty and Poppy were here too... probably a bit longer than us..
I think AW was good friends with Obi.
How long will it be before the pale whale is fronting like she was bestie bestie with TWAP just to get attention for her fake crocodile tears?
Like she did with Monster.
meanwhile, she was swooning all over poofer when he said some of the most horrendous things imaginable about the guy's late wife? And, was busy behind the scenes encouraging me to approve Oak's registration at Moby's Manatee Pit part 1 just so she could watch TWAP flip out in real time?
And yeah, he did flip out and left the board immediately once it happened. The guy was a great judge of character. I didn't realize it at the time tho.
Rest in peace you old git.
Not Moby Manatee Pit :crampe:

When I see cats I usually think of him. The guy really loved some cats
I used to have a lot of cats myself. 6 at one time earlier in life. All rescues. I cannot see an animal suffering in the street and do nothing.
He was a funny bloke that morphed himself between being an arsehole and being nice but we won't talk about his bad self...
His major talent and irreplaceable talent was match promotions and keeping time and records on our matches.... and we would still have all that if it wasn't for the pricks from BRAWL Hall ruining Cosmic Outpost.

There is a really good youtube station about dog rescues and rehoming I have been watching...
At the moment we have two rescued cats...well we started feeding two cats and they decided to stay here... one is Schwarzie and the other one is Pepee.

I recognize his handle from Stomping Groundz..
It's so sad to say goodbye to another long time poster.
TWAT, you're gonna be missed Ol Buddy!
We've collectively asked WICK to take it easy while he's azzraping your corpse. We dont want your head flying off like the others.
Oh, and Get Well Soon TWAT!
