i'm lucky that i haven't seen anyone i know in a coffin, and anyone else who hasn't should be thankful for that.

this is probably the only day i wont be watching "calvin carcass"

Although I did not know you, I give my sympathy.

Response to Sad News 2004-05-14 06:26:46


after my first post, i went back a bit and read the rest of the posts.

my first thought after i read the rest of this thread was sympathetic toward zach not because he died, but because people seem to like to fight about religion and they take this thread as an opportunity to argue. this, i think is seriously not right. i am a christian and i beleive in life after death. i know most of you are probably going "oh, look at that stupid christian thinking hes all righteous and everything we're not." well, its my life, sorry. now first of all, just drop the whole "there is no religion" thing and shut up a sec. look at tom's post one more time. read it out loud. now come back to the post and read what you wrote (im only talking to the people who are flaming away like there is no tomorrow). see a big difference in what your supposed to write and what you wrote? i thought so.

some people might think im contributing into the whole flaming and crap, and maybe i am i dunno, im not that smart. but one things for sure, what i saw was seriously not right.

anyone ever see this quote? it worked a lot in the poninja forums

thats bad. i think he deserves more than a flash. but i duno wot.

but at least he didnt die without discovering newgrounds eh?

Response to Sad News 2004-05-14 07:14:59


Let's have a moment of silence now. :( God bless Zach Finley, even if he was atheist.


you didn't see nothing, capisce?

Response to Sad News 2004-05-14 07:37:39


Thursday was not a good day it seems. Not only this bad news about Zach, but the house in back of mine burned down. I knew that Thursday wasn't going to be a good day. But in words for Zach he was a pretty good guy, his flash movies were pretty good as well. I'm Going to miss him and his work, but at least there are the memmories left to carry on. It is hard when you lose a friend at such a young age. Couple years ago my friend Jason died two weeks before his 18th birthday due to heart failure. It was very hard but i know he's in a better place now as the same for Zach.

I dreamt that this kid ended up only making like 50 posts on the newgrounds bbs in his life and had no flash movies.

strange ya?

What the hell? Weird yep but what happened in it...?

Response to Sad News 2004-05-14 12:12:37


its Sad when someone dies.
it would be good to give him a last honour , like making a Giant flash movie of his greatest creations.

Rest in Peace

Well That makes a helluva more sense, than this meaningles dribble, by Artist-formally-known-as-Synj..
Seeing a bunch of shitty drawn clocks looking up at some pixelblob, is hardly a tribue haha.. maybe if some of Zachs REAL friends stepped to the plate.. they can do a cool flash montage with pics of Zach having a good time..
But this Crap.... Haha pure shit.. Nobody wants to be remembered as a fucking Sprite... Tribute or not...

When Mr Artist-Formally-known-ass ever kicks the bucket, I hope they post here on NG. so some friends and I can go to his FUNeral Dressed up as Alien Hominds .....hahaha
Now thats a Tribute!

That is such a shame to hear. I've lost a friend or two that way

My most profound regards to all who knew him.
Dying at 17 is tragic.

What? OMG you are so fucking disrespectful! The tribute was to a young NG user who died and you laugh? Jeez, your just making us all mad. That was posted only so that someone answers your BBS.

Response to Sad News 2004-05-14 13:15:54


Frankly, I would be a overly neutral guy on the flaming event going on these days. I'd just say, R.I.P. would include letting people hating the passed away scold him whatever they want. Like you sympathers, they just won't get a chance to do that ever again.

According to the wisdoms in my homeplace, not only supporters will be sorry for the dead, but also the enemies. I'm sure no one likes seeing anybody inter-condemning each other's idea about his/her own death.

Let everybody be, and that's the ultimate R.I.P., if you ask me.
