Hey folks. Yall probably dont remember me that much but thats okay.
I just wanted to let everyone know that our beloved admin, writer, and forum villain Tic-Tac has passed away. He was an amazing friend to those that knew him personally. Its kinda wild knowing he'll no longer be with us. I never imagined in a million years that Id have to write something like this.
Me and him had just reconnected and were talking again and writing up some stories. He was trying to get back into the groove of things but, life took an odd turn. So yeah, Im completely devastated.
If there's someone you care about, love, or even think about sometimes, dont hesitate to speak up and let them know you care and think about them. They might not be around for much longer. I regret not being able to do the things he wanted to do with me but at the very least, I can do this for him.
As for what happened to him, I....am not sure yet. It hasnt been said yet, but from my knowledge he didnt seem sick or anything. He was depressed about some family members of his having passed from covid. If I find out more, I'll say but yeah. Just a little heads up.

Sad news for our community here.
Tac was our "villain" sure, but he was also a friend to many, a great writer, and a good Admin.
He was a member of this board from the beginning, and wasn't liked very much by a few. But if I come back to read comments, and anyone is talking poorly of him or seemingly happy that he is gone, there will be consequences.
Tac was my friend, as he was with many here and off the board. I regret not talking to him more frequently, and I will regret not having taken the time to do so.
But I will defend him if I have to. So be respectful, or you'll find this street pup's got teeth of his own.

Oh No...I mean, some weeks ago, I saw some word about it, but I was not sure if it was actually Tac, or a case of mistaken identity. But...Darn...
Tac has been part of the Forum, since before I first came, and I always remember fondly reading his Stories. He was a really talented Author and a good artist, too. I have been wanting to post with him for some time, I should have posted sooner.
As Rip says, if there is any one in your life who has depression, Please, let them Know You care for them and that you will listen to them!
I shall light a candle for Tac. My Prayers and Wishes are with him and his family, and I shall forever keep Tac in my heart.
Do you have any idea, when this happened?

I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry to hear this. Tic-Tac's titular character was a villain but he was always a good guy in real life. I found him to be a very intelligent person and a great writer. He was a fun member of the board and I greatly respected him. I had no idea he was having problems like this. Here's wishing his family whatever they need to get through this tragedy.
If you or a loved one are having suicidal thoughts know that help is available. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available around the clock at 1-800-273-8255. Please think it out and realize there are always family, friends, coworkers, neighbors and associates that care about you.
(It's good to hear from you again Rip although I wish it was under another circumstance. Here's hoping you are as okay as you can be. I hope you will be alright and thank you for the heads up.)

dang, I was right about him. He was an amazing writer and I did love his stories. i know we had our times when we clashed on ideas but in every respect he always was better than me when it came to fanfictions. gonna miss seeing him around not just on here but on FA too.
R.I.P. Tac.

This is so awful, I had just gotten to start talking to Tac as a friend and we had plans to rp and stuff. He wanted to write a final piece for Tic-Tac, looks like that will never happen now

Oh, no. I never thought that this would happen.
For many years, I didn’t think of Tac as one of the easiest people on here to get along with because a lot of what he said here didn’t seem nice, but after those years have passed, I came to realize that he really meant well for this forum and everyone in it. I just wished that I knew about that a long time ago. I really regret thinking of him the way I did before.
Tac sure will be missed around here. He did well in doing his part to make this forum a great place for us.

This is horrible news and it makes me sad. I honestly hoped when first hearing about this possibility that it was a case of mistaken identity.
I wasn't friends with Tac, but I knew about him so many years ago when I first joined Sparky's. In fact, when I first joined (I was a teen maybe?) I honestly thought his character was canon! It's kind of funny to think back to that, but he is so interesting and fleshed out. While I didn't get to know Tac personally (and I know his personality tended to clash with others) I feel he never meant harm on anybody and greatly respect him. I just hope that right now he's at peace. If anybody says anything mean about him, I to, will defend him with Trio.

Oh no...this was really terrible to read all this What I mean is, I personally never talked to him despite me being a member for 3 years. What others say, I didn't considered him as a nice and fun guy for quite some time until I noticed he actually never meant to cause harm in anyone. I'm deeply sorry that he's no longer with us. And I can't agree any less with what I've read from some members; If you have suicidal thoughts immediately turn to someone you trust and can help you. Do not ever choose death... please, for God sake! Every life has value. Amen!

Within the last month I would say, based on when I last saw him active anywhere.
Haven't really heard much in details honestly.

This is incredibly devastating and extremely disheartening to learn so recently It seems I may have been a little behind Rip in my effort to rekindle a long lost friendship with Tac, he was one of the first people I ever RPed with and he introduced me to a fair bit--was a huge inspiration too in many ways. I cannot imagine the loss and heartache his family and loved ones must be feeling right now, but I can only hope wish the best for them... If anyone out there has more information I surely would be interested if any light could be shed on what happened. It is very painful to know that I missed a chance maybe to have helped in some way, but by the sound of it it seems like not many really knew he was in such a painful state. I am really at a loss for words right now, so I will just leave it at that and add my condolences to the pile...

I didn't get the chance to really know him, but it's still an extremely sad situation. I do hope he's resting peacefully.

Hi, none of you may know who I am, but some time in 2007 I came across this place and stuck around for like 2 or 3 years on and off. Didn't create an account cuz I was only 11 at the time (back in 2007 that is) and I was too shy to comment as a guest. Was a huge fan of 101 Dalmatians The Series.
Days ago I suddenly recalled this place and decided to drop by, just to see how much has changed, and if any of the old names I remember from the time are still around somehow.
It's heartbreaking to learn that Tac has passed away. I really enjoyed his writing, especially "The Long Road Home". As a kid I never really liked reading books, but his stories (or at least his way of writing) changed that. In fact it helped me distract and cope with the family woes I experienced at the time. His opinions might have been sharp and I get that a number of people didn't really like him, but he is someone I really respected. Just wished I could have come in earlier to say hey, thank you for making a portion of my childhood that much more bearable but I guess I'll never have the chance to do that now.
Rest in Peace, Tac.

Let them know. I really wish I had.
My thoughts goes out to everyone who mourns. In time I will be able to think back to those days. Now I can only think how unfair this is.
Rest in Peace, Tic-Tac. Your presence was felt by so many, and your absence will be as well.
