so one of the founders of Rettit apparently kills himself. I think this may be a clever rouse set up by those 4chan people, but who knows.

I'm on 4chan right now. No one's even discussing it.
I also don't see any discussion about it on Reddit.

[EJR]

He didn't co-found reddit. He co-founded a feature of reddit.

[Sense-Offender]

[ExtraLife]

You clearly haven't taken a good look around the place. I do not partake in any circlejerking. I don't like /r/atheism, I don't like rage comics, I don't like advice animals, and I don't spend my time looking at pictures of cats. I'd rather look at.

Bashing Reddit is the in thing to do around here even though it has something there for everybody. It's an aggregator. If you're looking at shit subreddits, it's your own fault.

[Painbringer]

Confirmed.

He's in a better place now.

hell with steve jobs?

[Piemix]

LOL

[mothballs]

I wish the article mentioned if he was convicted for what he did or not. I'd be curious to know, that could be the reason he killed himself.

I'm here to stay, bud. I'm just tired of people thinking that Reddit is some kind of specific niche community when it isn't.

Specify what you mean by "Specific Niche Community"

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

I wonder why he went out like that ? Seems like he had a lot going for him other than the 4milly debt he owed to the govt.

He was awaiting trial and could have faced up to 50 years in prison and 4 million dollars in fines. I can see why he killed himself.

Personally, id rather walk the streets and set every human, child and building on fire, and go down in a bloody cruel blaze of glory, walking in pools of blood, ripping out the tongues of the dying screaming people, before i ever gave into suicide.

HOW PATHETIC/ how weak. ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER FOOL LETS THE GOV'T WIN. i have no respect for ANY HUMAN/
