    An old poster, a real sound bloke. He was raped and contracted HIV. He then commited suicide and his boyfriend came on here and let us know. Bit of rough story eh?

    That was so sad. He was excellent. Such a great sense of humour and a really all round good bloke.. Had a lifetime of abuse though starting by his uncles and all his uncles friends from a very young age, contracted HIV, He had no relationship apart from unrequited love for his heterosexual mate "big muscley Steve", and his mum. Then his mum died and his world started to crumble. Some people on here were real cunts to him at one point and I think that was the straw that broke the camels back. He commited suicide.
    I didnt blame him. Poor guy.

    Isn't there somewhere that archives old webpages anyway? Or am I wrong?

    Yea it was sad, I didn't really know him but was around when it happened. Remember telling some people who did know him though when they hadn't heard :(

    Me neither, didn't know a lot about him but didn't think he got loads of shit.


    Shyboy, go to www.archive.org - not sure if it will work with old posts, I reckon it will though.

    Well before my time so not going to step into any debate about why the post was removed, but I'd imagine you won't find any deleted posts on archive.org.

    And sorry to hear what happened.

    I remember. I was new then but I knew. He was so nice. He liked the men in uniform too ;) I remember talking about that with him. I remember a mention of big muscley steve too. He was so kind, so sweet, so nice. I never knew anybody was horrible to him, I couldn't see how anybody could be. He was too good. I never cared about anybodies feelings, but I'd come on here and he'd get so down and that did hurt to see. He didn't deserve it. I was shocked when Steve came on that one day and told what happened. It was truely a sad day.

    I'm quite shocked to hear that people could be so horrid to them. I must go find out.

    He was a quality bloke with a wicked sense of humour. One of the highlights of my time on this site.

    Personally, for me it would depend on what was wrong with me.

    Don't know him, but it sounds really awful.:(

    I didn't know about the problems, but the names mentioned hardly surprise me.

    Why has this been dragged up?
