Some Sad News...

[Chris]

Chances are, many of you here own a ProBoards, and that many of you have used "codes" in your headers/footers to customize your ProBoard.... well, today I have tragic news for all of you. One of the great members of the ProBoards community, and a great coder, California has passed away on the 19th of May. His death has struck the staff of SoCal harshly, and will most likely strike many of you guys too.

I'd like to ask that anyone who has details (such as a link to his obituary, etc.) keep it to themselves. This is on behalf of the wishes of his mother... If you do not believe me, Martyn Dale can confirm it for you as true.

For more information, take a look at the Announcment from SoCal.

Rest in peace, California.

Hmm. I'm in shock. Although I never actually spoke to him other then the forums, his presence was felt whenever he was posting/helping in the coding boards.

Rest in Peace

[Remixed ???]

Oh my god.... I am terribly sorry and sad.

Rest in piece.



Thankyou for all the positive and wonderful contributions you have made for the ProBoards community.

WHAT THE!!!? (First it's will the conquerer, now it's California?) Although, I wasn't a member of his forum SoCal, I do have alot of respect for California, it was HE who gave me advice on most of the coding I have used on my forum.

To dedicate his honour, I have a pm he sent me over a few months ago when I was suggesting a super cool feature for V5 proboards....

Well like I tried to tell you, no one. I know a few people who could do it, but I can pretty much guarantee that they won't, any more than I'd go over to your house and build a pool in your back yard. The only time coders attempt large projects like that is when the code will be very useful for everyone, and that's far from the case with what you're requesting.

Rest in peace dude

My regards go directly to your family aswell

I've said stuff at SSD, said stuff at SoCal, but that still can't express my feelings. I'm not an emotional person. I bottle stuff up a lot. I barely knew Cali. He's helped me immensely before, like when I first met him at Zanmato Design. But now, in this late hour, I have tears running down my cheeks. I...can't believe this is real. Honestly, even though I never really went to SoCal or was friends with Cali, he had such an impact on the people he met, it's unbelievable. Damn...

[gunshot]

R.I.P. And have a great time in spirit world....

California was an immensely talented young person who was very generous with his knowledge. My condolences to his family and friends.

Cali was a great member and I loved talking to him in PM's when I had the chance to. I think he was a top member of the Proboards community and his presence will be sorely missed here as well as in real life. I hope his family and friends remember the good things he brought to them and can take comfort in that fact. You will be missed Cali

That's awful to hear, terrible terrible news.

[hpmad]

I can't help but cry right now. It's really so sad and awful. And I feel so bad. I've never talked to you much, but now I really wished I did.

[Snakeair]

Cali was a great coder and a dedicated helper on Proboards forum's. What ever forum he went to, he always had a code for something or a fix for something. He will be missed a lot around Proboards. Truly a great guy if you just took the time to talk to him. We talked few times in PM's about proboards stuff and bug thread's.

When I saw the title of this post, I thought, "Noooooo, not again!!!" I suppose in a forum this large, this kind of news is to be expected, but it still shocks me every time it happens. My thoughts are for his family and friends in this tragic time. No parent should outlive their child.

California will forever remain a legend amongst many who knew him here.

ProBoards wears a black armband on this sad day.
