Title: Dear Armory Digital, We have lost a Great Member
Serenity - March 20, 2010 02:20 PM (GMT)

Dear Armory Digital members,
Its been 3 years now that this forum has been running. We've have been through a lot and if it wasn't for all of you we would not be where we are today. One member in particular, Ralphalf, was one of the most friendliest, most dedicated, and Awesome members we had here. I was just informed by his brother that he has passed away.
Around October for all of you who were around, he was feeling a little sick with the cold, this formed into pneumonia and he passed away on October 26, 2009.
My thoughts and prayers to his brother, family, and friends that through this hard time they will remember him as he was and never forget what an awesome guy he was.As for those of us who are still here at Armory Digital, I urge you to still be active as you always have, Ralphalf was a great member like all of you and the best we can do is to make him proud. I remember the days Ralphalf and I would have a posting contest to see who got more posts, I will miss those days.
In closing, I leave you with the last recorded post and info we have from Ralphalf here at Armory Digital.
#1 top member poster at Armory Digital: 6,223 posts
Joined Armory Digital on: 28-August 08
Last day he posted (October 19th) there was a total of 72 posts on the forum, no day since October 19th have we passed this number yet.
Last recorded post: Dated: Oct 19 2009, 07:39 PM

Ah that is so sad cry- I wondered what happen to him, he just disappeared.
RIP Ralphalf

Just.. wow.
I don't know how to feel about this, I'm actually pretty saddened by this.
Ralphalf was awesome, he usually had something pretty funny to say, and he was always up-beat with his attitude.
I hope he rest's in peace forever, we'll never forget him here at Armory Digital.

I'm stunned. I don't know what to say. Ralphalf was great, and such a nice guy. Its a shame losing him. He always was such a great guy and made Armory Digital such a great and friendlier enviornment to come and just have fun.
R.I.P. Ralphalf cry- cry- cry- cry- cry- cry- cry-

I really didn't get to know him like you guys did, but from the little bit I did talk to him, he really seemed like a great guy. 26 is way too young to pass away. But if he was suffering here with pneumonia, all we can hope for is that he is no longer feeling any pain.

This is terrible. 2010 and people still die from something as
retarded as being cold. This is horrible, he was a great guy.
I'll miss him just as much as the rest of you.

Wow... Ralphalf, RIP.
Took me forever to learn how to spell your name, but the little time I knew you, it was a plessure to talk to you.
I'll see you again some day Ralphalf. Till then, RIP dude.

Ralphalf was one of the best, I never could beat him in posts, he literally would have surpassed me in post count if he was still around to this day. He makes up about 20% of the posts here, he meant a lot and I had a lot of great nights talking to him on here.
I'll never forget the fun days I had with him, just looking back in the Terminator section i remember all the funny days we had.
purplefreak3 - March 21, 2010 02:07 AM (GMT)
Yes I remember the Terminator section that was some great times would talk about who was the better Terminator and Ralphalf always said Arnold was better and I would go with Ralphalf against Serenity about how Arnold was better then Cameron.
View full thread below, it will make you laugh.

yeah those were the days, I've been looking in that section the past day or so, good times =)

Ralphalf was so funny and was just a great guy. He sent me a PM on my birthday (October 17), and its little things like that, which is why he was such a great poster, and at the same time would liven the place up like crazy. Whenever he was on a posting spree, the board would have around 200 posts nightly.
Knowing that he sent me a silly happy B-day PM when he was sick, will always touch me.
Were going to miss you Ralphalf cry- . cry- cry- cry-

I'm of course not going to change anything on the fourms here. As much as it is sad, if there is a thread that contains posts from Ralphalf please feel free to continue posting in it. It keeps his memories alive and contributions to the place.
the only thread I am locking is the "See you later thread" it just doesn't feel right posting in that one anymore seeing as that was his last entry, I've made a new "See you later thread v2"

Yeah I'd feel sad reading that entry, with the context and everytthing.
Ralphalf would want us all to honor him and go on our own posting spree.

I still feel a little . . . well i can't explain how I feel really, just sad knowing I was the last person to speak to him before he departed from Armory forever.

Twee - March 29, 2010 02:55 AM (GMT)
I don't think anyone posts pictures of themselves here.
Well a lot.
