Wow - I haven't been on the Off Topic forum for years. Anyway I was sadden to see that Russ has passed. I remember Russ from the old Compucheap site he had back in the lat 90's or early 2000. I also remember him from Anand's first forum when he was around 15 years old. The forum was a single threaded discussion board. Still remember Anand telling us that his parents were concerned about this closet due to all the pc hardware that was accumulating after he reviewed it.

Anyway, RIP Russ.

Life has kept me away from ATOT, but came on a whim today and saw the sticky. Sad news indeed. RIP, Russ.

Man. Haven't logged into the forums in months and this is what I see. RIP. Another to add to #fuckyou2016. Have fond memories of Russ.

AS much as this sucks, it has served to bring people back who have been lurking along, who check in and leave kind words. It is really nice to see you all.

Dang, that sucks. I've been here since the geocities days. Russ was always the first to be a smart ass and make stinging comments when warranted. He was also first to provide help and insight and a kind word. Ah, the old celery sandwich days, running celeron 300's @ 450 mhz while the rest of the (non overclocking) public was paying 5 times as much for 400 mhz parts.... good times.

I know Russ played a big part in getting rid of trolls and other undesirables from the start, helping to make AT forums (or then, forum) what it became.

RIP Russ.

Wow, hope you're doing okay. It's been a while.

 

[hzl eyed grl]

I'm doing well, thank you. I moved halfway across the country almost 1½ years ago. I miss my mom, but not California. Lol I hope you're doing great yourself. 😃

This post brings back memories,obviously sad ones of Russ passing away. He was a good man & could dispatch a troll with a laugh inducing quickness. RIP big man 😢
