Merry Christmas in the barracks, and I hope a few more people are on portal watch with me. Some people trying to get away with some poor submissions because of the small amount of members on, but it's mainly good.

Hope you all have a nice day

Music, Money and a few books. One entitled "Do Ants Have Arseholes and 101 other useless questions"

Should make for an interesting read.

I think it's fake. I hope it's fake. It says that he died on December 27th. He might have gotten his tenses mixed up, but he also wrote "I'll be back"; whether being serious or trying to add a lol to the end of a suicide note, I don't know.

That's just so shocking. I always knew that Phantom tried to commit suicide, but I never actually thought he would. I need to go take a walk now.

He lives in Israel. While it was the 26th for us, for him it was the 27th.

And I hope it isn't real or it's just some sort of way he's working out his feelings, by writing them down or acting them out in this way.

Sterockicy's note:

Did someone say roster cleanout??? Well I have carefully gone through every single profile and removed any user who fell under the category of 'absent from the EGB'. This means anyone who has not posted in the EGB for at least 3 months has been removed, regardless of b/p pace. If you don't post here, your not a member here! So GTFO my list! :D Anyways, the list is a lot smaller now so it is more of an 'exclusive club'. This means it will be easier to get on the top 5 gainers list and you will no longer be competing with freaks who signed up, have an awesome pace, but don't post here! You know what I mean. Enjoy the update!

I am sorry I haven't been posting like I used to but from the date you made this post until my last post wasn't exactly 3 months. I think I did explain that work has kept me away from posting in this topic plus when I did have the time to post I didn't have anything relevent to post here and I didn't want to spam so hence my reason for not posting here. As for my slow B/P rate I only B/P to deposit my Exp with the exception of clock day.

On a side note how was everyone's chirstmas? mine was much better then my last one (for all those who don't remember I had a fire in my house last chirstmas eve) I hope no one here ever has to go though that.

Lord I hope so.

I know it's not easy to make a transition, but I believe that this club must move on to something happier. Nothing is definite with Phantom's situation, since none of us live near him. It might even be that we will never know, which would be devastating. Either way, we must continue the work of the EGB, and keep living our lives, even if Phantom felt that he didn't want to live his.

Today I got the 80 gig PS3. Kind of a belated Christmas, Birthday, and helping out during the summer gift. Granted, I had to kick in ~80% of the cost, but at the rate I was recieving and spending money, I would never reach my goal.

Don't have any games for it yet besides Motostorm. Also don't currently have internet, but that's being fixed right now with a system update.

I just posted in the NGDD if you want to read it, and I am narrowing down his location constantly, I have his school and his town, of 18,700 occupants, so if i can find a newspaper from there and someone who knows Hebrew, we should be able to know soon.

Thanks, it's good to know there was someone close to him that he was able to talk to in his final hours (or not if he hasn't gone through with it, which I hope he hasn't). Also thanks for any news you can provide on the situation- part of me doesn't really want to know, and I know Phantom well enough to know he wouldn't joke about this and that he has had a lot of problems in his life, but I hate seeing all the people on here showing so little respect so at least some definitive news would shut them up and let those of us that care pay our respects, or talk to him if it isn't too late.

If Dan really has gone through with it then he will be greatly missed, especially here, a place where he has made many friends.

Although I never liked Phantom, he is/was still a cool guy and what the EGB would be without him? Personally, I think that Phantom is too cool and mature to end his life this way. Hopefully, is death note is nothing but a joke. I have faith that he will be back.

Hello there. I'm Barracks Recruitment Officer Slash Firestorm. Hm, you're Sergeant rank, Deity Whistle...no problem here! Welcome aboard.

First thing you should do is sign up at the EGB forums, so I can validate you and allow you full access.

Incidentally, I plan to re-organize and re-vitalize the Barracks forums in the near future. Been ramshackle for way too long, and a lot of the old projects and such are out of date, needing reformatting, or no longer needed.

Also, about the Phantom situation: barring his return (which I'm hoping will happen; I've been down the road before and saw the dead-end in time to turn around, and he's got much better vision than me; I ain't writing his obituary just yet), we more-or-less operate the same. There are enough long-time members to keep this place operating smoothly, and the next time EagleRock shows up, we'll discuss where the Barracks is going to go if, indeed, the worst has happened.

Signed up as yoshi77777.

Alrighty, validated you.

Incidentally, to anyone who has some free time on their hands: I recommend you give this audio a listen. Absolutely fucking beautiful, and possibly the best Golden Sun music I've ever heard.

Been a long time since I've been back in the BBS/Audio Portal scene. Too long.

May I suggest that that yoshi77777 fellow is an idiot and should not be allowed into the barracks?

Yeah, I'd just like to second this as I've seen what this dude has done around here.

To include the following:

- MULTIPLE alts used to write abusive reviews in order to flag them himself
- Using alts to form some clan of mainly just himself
- Using that clan to spam the portal with STOLEN Flash from the website Ultimate Arcade in which I had to get Tom involved with personally to remove them all.

I don't think this guy's good for business, he's made a bad name for himself.

Hmm...not sure myself, but you might want to take a look at it more, Slash. I doubt two Barracks members in a row could be wrong by chance, so it's worth looking into. I'll be at work in 30 minutes or so if you want to IM me.

In the meantime, more important matters, which I'm sure I don't need to inform anyone of. Just like Slash, I'm slow to write his obituary, too, as many things could have happened between then and now, and who knows if he actually did it. All I know is Phantom doing something like this as a joke is something he'd never do. I know if he wrote this, he was at least half-sincere about doing it. However, we can't be sure about what's happened. In the meantime, just like Slash said, it's business as usual until we hear anything or too much time has passed. Maybe I'm being stupidly optimistic, but I'm still waiting to hear something.

Valid objections have been made.

He does appear to be a user in good standing, but again, I've been gone for a month (and barely active for much longer), and am a bit out of the loop, so I'll have to look at this carefully.

I will say, though, that I think the Barracks should be somewhat lenient and forgiving of past behavior---I know that more than one or two of us has been a point-whore at some point in our past, and the same goes for questionable flash (although stolen flash would be a much more serious matter).

However, if there has been questionable behavior RECENTLY (as in, within the past few months), that is something that must be seriously considered.

I will withhold any further opinion until Yoshi has a chance to reply.

well sir...
let make it 3... or maybe 4 ppls

some time ago I have Pm with Sir-Nuts talking about ppl who shouldn't enter to the barracks
and yoshi77777 was in there...
is a good guy... but... I think he have some bad influence from Spamers like the KK
his new movies are TTA with ppl like bigfuzzykitten & CuteAndFuzzy
and he are now posting on the' WI/HT lvl up lounge'
making lists... I think we have enough ppl there doing lists
he is a '+1 post count' member

sorry for being so hard, but... it's true

Well, like Slash said, it's important to be fair. If yoshi wants to say something about this, I'd be very glad to hear it. In the meantime, I have no opinion on the matter, as it is unfair for me to cast judgment on something I haven't seen both sides of. If anything, if these actions are a thing of the past, it might be prudent to give yoshi a probationary period of membership before he is considered a full member. Otherwise, I'd need to talk to Slash to get an idea of what to do.

I haven't accepted it yet either. I mean, I believe he was serious about doing it, but what if he tried, and something happened that stopped him? Also, if he's caught trying to do something like that and is saved, they don't just toss you back out on the street, so for all you know, he could be somewhere getting counseled right now. I mean, hell, he could even get committed for months if he was caught... Either way, though, if we don't hear anything by, say, January 1st, I don't think we'll hear anything at all. Until then, I think I'll hold off saying my final respects.
