Bullshit. Why is her supposed girlfriend going around forums and telling strangers this? If this is true, then shame on Monica.

Bullshit. Why is her supposed girlfriend going around forums and telling strangers this?

Because we're not strangers.
There's a community of regulars here that have been having, what amount to, the same arguments for over a decade now. She was one of them.
And GSK would probably have wanted us to know.

Would she? GSK was(is?) fiercely private. Alot of what we've gotten about her personal life is clues and hints and things dropped from here or there on occasion, y'know?

She was fairly direct about things.
She had never refused to answer a question I asked her, true some of them were done over PM rather than publicly.
Maybe I was not asking questions which passed that barrier and I am, as a result, drawing an incorrect bias.
But she and I spoke, rather heatedly, about religion and I asked some very probing questions. There was only ever one subject she asked me not to repeat and it wasn't really private.

But I assume none of you have ever met her outside of Gaia. What difference has been made by this announcement? If Monica hadn't informed us, we'd simply have assumed she'd moved on from the forum and thought little of it.

Do you know anything about me? I'd appreciate if someone mentioned it should i not live forever, despite all odds, just so people don't wonder why i suddenly fell silent.

Holy ******** shiiiit. How crazy are people on Gaia?

[Aevum Noir]

Well.. As a lurker primarily of ED and VGD - I find this news a bit sad..
I sincerely hope it's just some joke in very poor taste.

With that in mind, I'm a skeptic on this...
Rather, I'm more amused with how people are reacting to all this, enough to cause a 5 page thread for one regular..
Wherever she may be, I hope she's watching this..

Regardless if it's true or not, I'm sorry for those remaining, my sympathies go out to those most affected.

It was enjoyable reading your thoughts, Kitten..

I do agree, the regulars here are not strangers by any means. Many of us know each other by first name basis.

I sense trolling. First of all, was it ever confirmed that GSK Lives was the same GSK? I guess it was assumed by people but could it be verified? Also, could swordmaiden really be GSK trolling people? I have no idea what to think of GSK there always seems to be some sort of trolling going on, so I be skeptical. If they are a master troller than it is interesting....

That's what I think is going on. GSK can have this whole forum going sometimes. She's on par with suicide soldier in terms of trolling capabilities.

Well no one made a thread about it but it is quite possible Tererun OD'd. Tererun often did a lot of drugs, was always trolling and disappeared suddenly. Gaia does not do IP bans so it makes most sense that was what happened.

Isn't there some guy who lives in her town and knows her? Isn't he also a ED reg?

Smithnikov claimed to know her

Hmm...I think that was it. They told me they lived in the same town. Anyway, I'd rather this be a troll than it be true. I don't think things like this are funny at all.

Smithnikov was GSKs troll.

Didn't even have the same personality...

As much as I genuinely want chain to die a horrible death, Smithnikov appeared at a rather suspicious time. Then took a break and started posting some on the 14th
