Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Seventeen.

Such a shame that a life so young is ripped away from this earth so soon.

May she rest in peace.

Another sobering example on how alcohol laws should be strengthened.

So let me get this straight.

Some user that hardly ever posts on NG got Rivergrey's username and password that was saved on a computer that doesn't belong to the user and then came on NG even though the user hardly ever comes here, and made a news post from within Rivergrey's account. This user said she died today but then changed it from the 28th to the 25th. Then, the same user copied the entire message word for word and pasted it into a forum topic.

This user calls himself the "harbinger of sadness" ... As though someone with sad news would ever say that.

I'm surprised I'm the only one questioning this. Almost nothing about this story lines up, it's phrased so weird as fuck, and the facts don't line up at all. You all just get fooled so easily.

It appears that her ghost is lurking the BBS.

Well this sucks. Poor gal died so young.

Unless this whole story is a hoax, like when I lied about mothballs dying.

I've already said I've dealt with death before. Yes, I mourn, although not in a sappy manner you may expect. Yes, the phrasing is awkward and pretentious, although mainly because I suck as a writer and couldn't find something to say that could express how I felt right, that.. ugh

You all just get fooled so easily.

Just fuck off forever, you and each and every piece of meat that has to claim shit like this. I'm not kidding, just burn in hell for being such a cynical, presumptuous... just fucking fucking fuck, raaargh.

No, this is not some sad sadistic excuse, for the last fucking time.

A person, a person that I loved, in a weird amalgash of platonic and a little bit or romantic ways, died. Instantly. Gone for-fucking-ever and out of sight, but not out of miiiind.

Empathy or sympathy, you filthy nooksniffer ~ learn them.

To be fair, you haven't given anyone a link to a news story about this and chances are it would be covered in a local paper/news site because things like this always are so really, you should learn to understand why people are skeptical.

Big city. Berlin. Germany. Land of cold motherfuckers and brawny Russian immigrants.

They just don't give a shit.

amalgash

Not a word.

nooksniffer

Not a word

How about instead of being a complete dick, you explain your reasons for questions that people pose? Why did you wait an entire week before giving the news, trying to say you made a mistake of stating it was the 28th when later saying it was the 25th? How did you get access to her computer, and why did you use her account rather than just yours? Why did you post it here on NG when it's actually pretty personal info?

These are all real questions. If you can't handle a couple questions, then how about you "just fuck off forever, you and each and every piece of meat that has to claim shit like this. I'm not kidding, just burn in hell for being such a cynical, presumptuous... just fucking fucking fuck, raaargh." (As you insisted)

Dude w/e you're just attention whoring, you say she's a close friend that lived 2 minutes away, but on a previous post you said you had to skype with her to confirm that she's a girl, you said you introduced her to newgrounds but were completely oblivious to her in another post. Im starting to doubt her ever existing.

I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe that there are no news sources about this, drunk driving usually gets a spot in the news somewhere, London is a big city and I'm sure they cover stories link this in some form or other, usually a news in brief section.

If you can't provide any confirmation, people are going to be skeptical, sorry.

Don't make them look worse than they are.

Will do. :(

Why did you wait an entire week before giving the news,

*three days.

Mourning, as Natick said. Mourning and knowing that this sort of questioning and accusative shitstorm would ensue.

trying to say you made a mistake of stating it was the 28th when later saying it was the 25th?

It was a typo. Nothing more to it.

How did you get access to her computer, and why did you use her account rather than just yours?

1.) This has been explained before, but I'll say it again...

I live just a 2 minute walk away. Right down the street. I told her parents my intentions ~ to inform the public and forums she frequented that she couldn't reply any more, and why. They, being

2.) She claimed to talk to many people from her account. I thought that posting the news there would function as a better, well, memorial... and notify people that she's gone. Eternally.

Why did you post it here on NG when it's actually pretty personal info?

Many people here knew her very well and have talked on numerous occasions. I can't just keep track of every PM chain in an inbox of 2,598 messages, so, for the sake of maintaining my personal sanity, I displayed it on her user-page, and on the forums.

These are all real questions.

Some were answered before in the thread and on her user-page, though. It just feels like I'm getting probed and tested unnecessarily from every angle now, and the feeling is madly infuriating.

Have an apology for lashing out like a dick, but it just hurts, so, bad being called a liar all the time. I'm not, and for the last bloody time ~ this is true.

1.) Directly from a user-page response ~

"Hell yeah I've been on Skype with her. I went to her house pretty much every weekend for a while, but my parents thought enough was enough for a while and didn't let me visit over for a weekend, where we organized a Skype chat in privacy.

And Skype was a one-time-deal. The interface got messed up after a recent update and we ditched it, as being physically face-to-face on things is so much nicer anyways...."

2.) At first I was afraid of claiming I knew her in real life. The Skype thing, and knowing Emma was a girl through those means, was a ruse ~ yes! But who would believe I lived next to another person who used NG, cod forbid a GIRL? Who?!

You see, I was up front here. I said what I know, I said the bare-boned truth, and I get bogged down by repeated questions, repeated explanations, and hate...

3.) Completely oblivious?

I just didn't know she liked Homestuck. That's all there's to it.

I think all the skepticism can stop now so that a lost life can be mourned.

Damn, the last message ever posted on her first news post...

Was mine...

"You have been here for roughly 2 months 26 days and you already have 250+ comments on your news post."

That was most likely from Don Carrerra.

Color me jaded as hell but until I see something more concrete I am drawing no conclusions.

Oh my god. She was a lovely girl, and convinced me to stop being a dick to people who didn't deserve it. I enjoyed our conversations, and though I didn't know her too well, she was one of the people whose posts I liked seeing on here, they were always well planned and thought provoking.

Jesus Christ, I wasn't expecting this. Rest in peace River.

Didn't know her that much, but i am truly sad about this. May you rest in peace River and wherever you are please help us in the dire moments of our lives. Thank You for everything.

i bet he/she is rolling in everyone's attention now like a chocolate waterfall

good job you prats

R.I.P. Rivergrey. What a fine, funny, and intelligent user. I never got the chance to PM her about how I always enjoyed seeing her adorable little double ":33" face after most of her posts. I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator.

I'm sorry.
