Terrible, terrible news. I hope I'm not adding to anybody's grief by bumping this, but I haven't been around in a while and only now have seen this thread.
Turbup (as I called them once while playing Mafia drunk on a friends' couch at 2 in the morning) was one of my favorites on this site and I was always excited to see them around. I know next to nothing about them as a person, but I loved reading their posts, jokes, everything, even when Turbup was playing me like a fiddle, which happened often, in part because I liked Turbup so much. It's hard for me to articulate why but I echo what Enrique said about their "vibe" — Turbup, to me, radiated playfulness and a certain kindness that is just rare, on the internet or in general. I've been posting on forums for well over half my life at this point and I can honestly say I've never met someone that gave me that feeling like they did.
Reading this thread, I'm struck by a few thoughts ... I wish I had been able to know Turbup as well as many of you, or at least a little better. I hope their family knows how beloved they are and will be. I wish I had talked to them more recently, had told them in plain words how much I appreciated being in their orbit the last couple years. Most of all, I'm struck by how much it hurts. I only knew Turbup through some words on a screen and yet I feel a great loss right now. I hope TH knew how much we loved them, somehow. I hope everyone else here knows how loved you all are, too.
These words are inadequate and I'm sorry I don't have any better ones, TH, but I won't forget you and I will try to be every bit as kind and wonderful as you. See you later.
