Who do you think will be the first regular poster to die? Serious post.
High BP will kill Druff, sadly.
Already had a few regular/semi-regular posters die:
- delaware
- Sonny / Son of Lockman
- shoeshine box
- IamGreek (who turned out to be a woman pretending to be her husband!)
And then we also had AsianSpa pass away, but he was more of a radio listener and Twitter guy, and didn't really post on the forum.
RIP to all
splitthis will die during childbirth at 60
Druff, what about HockeyGuy? He seemed older and was a regular.....then poof.....
We've often joked about IndianaSlim dying -- no way he could stay off these forums this long. I would imagine Blake would have popped back in at some point. No telling how many fat middle aged guys we lost to covid.
blake just got cucked into oblivion jim and scuter are the two we lost from the family if theres a god rum dick is dead
My wager is on a fully up to date vaxxed myocarditis ... lols
Harsh life being a Skatz poster.
So from the above, I can infer that IndianaSlim, blake, scuter, rum dick, and mwh72 may all have croaked? Isn't that like 70% of the skatz userbase?
And none of these guys are older than me.
At least on PFA, our dead were all old, aside from shoeshine box, but even he was 58.
Here's a weird shoeshine box fact that I might as well share now.
As I mentioned when he died, his name was Mark Fucile.
His death was not a surprise. He was suffering from major health issues, and had almost died a number of times before. He called into radio to talk about this, including surviving a very dangerous surgery to potentially prolong his life.
However, at one point a few months before his death, he confided in me that he had amassed $250k worth of crypto, and how proud he was of himself for having done so. This surprised me, as I had always believed he was a dude who was just getting by financially. He worked on and off as a poker dealer, when his health permitted it. Somehow I ran incredibly well whenever he dealt to me, so I must have looked like the best poker player in the world to him.
But back to the crypto thing.
I asked what he was going to do with the crypto, and he said he didn't know. He was just holding it. Knowing he had terminal cancer and was having tons of surgeries to stop it from killing him, I was curious if the crypto was just going to become inaccessible if he were to pass away. He told me the crypto was a secret and not to tell anyone, so I imagine very few people knew about it. I didn't have the heart to ask what his contingency plans were for the crypto, if he were to pass.
Well, he did pass away later that year (2021), and I'll admit the crypto situation did come to mind. Mark did not have any children or any close family to my knowledge, so I'm not even sure where he'd have wanted it to go.
Mark had a live-in girlfriend. She was the one who informed people of his death, via the text contacts on his phone. After that, she went silent. I always wondered if she perhaps ran off with the crypto, or if she knew it existed, or if she even knew how to access it.
Some guy named John Chee filed a probate lawsuit, 3 months after Mark's death, in March 2022: https://unicourt.com/case/nv-clad-in...init_S=cs_ftrd
I have no idea who John Chee is. I do wonder if the crypto is still sitting in a wallet somewhere, unknown to everyone. If it was in Coinbase or something similar, that was probably discovered. Maybe that's what the probate is about?
Very strange.
I do miss Mark a lot. Very earnest, genuine guy.
You're talking about es0terix. He never made it to PFA, because he passed in 2009, and this site didn't start until 2012. Real name Justin Shronk.
He was another nice guy I was very upset to learn of his passing, though like shoeshine box, it also wasn't a huge surprise.
Justin wasn't terminal, and he was only 27, but he seemed to have lots of health problems. He had some kind of major scare earlier in 2009, which landed him in the hospital for a number of days. I visited him there, and he remarked that he was impressed with the care he received at the hospital, and that he was all better and going home soon. He claimed that he wasn't worried about a recurrence of whatever happened.
Then in April 2009. he was found dead. Unlike other poker players who died young, Justin did not have a substance abuse problem, nor was this a suicide. He just ran really bad healthwise.
His dad died when he was a boy, so presumably he inherited some hereditary health issues and was basically a ticking time bomb to die young. Prior to the health problems ramping up in 2008 or so, he never mentioned having them, but later he admitted that he had been battling with health issues for quite some time. Very sad.
RIP es0terix.
He's eating fries on the bed in heaven now.
It hasn't been that long since rum dick posted, Mwh was around before football season, but as for the rest, I would say there's a high chance Jim actually is dead. Blake possibly too but more likely woke bitterness that amplified after him having a mixed race kid is what's keeping him away, and as for Scooter, he was only maybe 10-12 years older than myself and in good physical health but suicide, drug overdose, prison, or being institutionalized are all on the table - dude went off the rails after abusing actual prescription meth, adderall, etc.

Also pretty sure TheSpartan is dead.
chaps not being -1450 to starve to death kindaaaaaaa destroys the legitimacy of this poll
Did anyone ever know IndianaSlim's real full name?
He was a younger guy, right? Like, at this point nobody is young if they were around NWP in 2004, but I mean young compared to the rest of us.
If you know his real name, there are some ways to research if he's dead, beyond just the usual googling of obituaries. That's how I eventually verified Sonny's death, after I was curious enough about his abrupt disappearance. He also didn't have the exact name he stated here, so that also presented a challenge, but I deduced his real name. Dude finally had his dream retirement in Mexico (even got $1200 from the airline when bumped off the flight going there), and then croaked a short time later. Bad beat.
How the hell did I get left off this poll. I already nearly died 2 1/2 yrs ago already.
:baddecision
I know his account is in good standing I just noticed him lurking in some random thread I’m like holy shit its mwh
he didn’t mention anything too specific about vanishing and I didn’t ask…we just bullshitted about this and that for a while…
nothing too Earth shattering
but no mwh is not dead because mwh is GOD
I was probably the youngest regular poster (at least that stuck around for years) by a decade back when I joined NWP. I was still in high school. I remember IndianaSlim/Jim posting a picture of himself in a childhood pics thread in the NWP VIP forum. Pretty sure it was legit. He was probably somewhere around 12 in the pic and dressed in late 80s/very early 90s style. That would put him somewhere around 45 now. That dude never really divulged anything personal, but he was legitimately some kind of web traffic/SEO savant. I don't know if anyone actually knew anything about him outside of the forums. I was told a few times that he was actually a cousin of Micon, but I'm not sure how true that is (I find that highly doubtful but he did troll Micon relentlessly and was from the same state).
4dragons to be shanked in the slammer?
We had other high schoolers on NWP.
cth was 16 but pretended to be a mid-20s black guy. He later credited NWP for helping him socially, as he was very overweight in high school and felt isolated. He was very mature for 16, and nobody suspected he was young.
The current poster “OK2”, who I won’t out, posted on NWP as young as 14. However he wasn’t all that prominent, and never said his age at the time.
Mikelikewhoaaa was 16, from Vegas, and admitted to being 16. At one point Barry hired him to help move, if I remember correctly. Mike’s mom was aware of both NWP and the fact that he played online poker under one of his parent’s names.
