(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We lost an amazing member yesterday. Vanitas, or Tyler Taylor to us former staff from back in the day, died yesterday at 5:20PM in a three car accident. He was such a good friend to me and many other members. I thought this could be a remembrance thread, tell your favorite story about him, or pay respects.

Vanitas was always such a kind and funny type of person. He had just lost his mother a year ago before this accident happened. He didn't deserve this at all, and his memory will stay with me until the day I stop breathing. Rest easy, Vanitas. Gone way too fucking soon.

I'm not sure how the rules stand against gofundme links: You must login or register to view this content..

I'm not going to post details here, but You must login or register to view this content..

I got on Facebook today and totally could not believe this. Haven't spoken to him in years but he was genuinely a good guy. Really shitty news.
