Cool man. Good to know you’re still around!

Good to hear from ya MC!

Anyone remember Stigmatador? I saw over on the CMR that he passed away. He was big into Vengeance Rising.

I remember him...

I think he was Roger’s sidekick or webmaster on the “evil” Vengeance Rising website. They kept saying they were gonna release the “Realms of Blasphemy” album that never materialized.

I definitely remember the name because I thought it was clever but he only posted here about 30 times and not in over 4 years so I must remember him from the days when I frequented CMR.  Still...RIP.

Is there a link to the CMR thread about Stig passing? I tried the search engine and nothing came up.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. He reportedly died of a drug overdose on Jan 1,2018.

Ok, thanks.

Out of curiosity, I searched for info on Gabriel Zolman aka Stigmatador. Found this...

He looks like guitarist Kragen Lum from Heathen & Exodus.

I remember Stig from the days I use to frequent the CMR board. I also checked out the old VR board on occasion back then. He seemed like a cool dude. Sad that he passed away. R.I.P.

Yeah, I remember that he was a witty guy.

So cool, Sentinel and Boris have returned!

Glad to be back!

Runicen has been absent for about 3 years.

I’m really wondering about Metalguy. He vanished! Hope everything’s ok with him.

I hope he’s alright too...

He was always a very active member here.

Damn. He hasn't visited the site since May. That sucks. =(

The Internet is a weird place, man. I can't tell you how many times over the years some active member of a forum or some other kind of group just up and disappears. It's such an odd thing, because you never know what happened.

Remember rattpoison, schbopo, etc.? One day posting like normal, then...poof!

Is it time to admit that I'm feeling old since 3 years feels like six months?

Been a wild ride. Glad to see this place is still ticking along too. Hope everyone has been at least reasonably well since I was here last.

I can understand when someone wants to take a long break or whatever... but after they were a frequent active member for as long as Metalguy (and he stuck with us even after kmorg and ultmetal abandoned ship). It makes you wonder what the heck happened to them.

Good to see you and the Ultimate Warrior avatar again my friend!

Much appreciated and glad to still BE breathing!  Funny choice of words as part of my "wild ride" over the last few years has been a recent diagnosis of asthma.

Many thanks! A true testament to how long I've been away: it wasn't until I logged in and posted my reply here that I realized that was still my avatar here.

Welcome back, if only for a bit! Forums in general have died down quite a bit in the past couple of years (other than the Hoffman forum) but the regulars around here still post daily. While I don't post here every day I check in at least once a day to see what's going on.
