rip ollie scott

[Hopeless]

Was a Habbox member and Moderator.
I've known him years, can't believe it.
His name last time I was active was Xerea or similar. Still spoke to him on MSN.
RIP.

Thread moved by Infectious (Forum Super Moderator): From "Habbox Feedback", as it is better suited here!

[Richie]

I'd imagine this is the wrong section.


I heard about this yesterday i think, R.I.P.

[Grig]

Oh, yes him, I was managed by him on news a couple of years back. Wow, always a shocker! Shame to see people die at such a young age, R.I.P :(.

[lawrawrrr]

Heard about this last night, I didn't know him, but people I know IRL did, as well as people from here etc. My thoughts are with all the friends and family, always such a shame. RIP. <3

[xxMATTGxx]

Also heard this last night and have been reading the thread over on ClubHabbo. Didn't really know him well but I remember him being a member of Habbox staff a few times. Such a shame really, may he RIP.

[Hopeless]

Just saw Clubhabbo thread.
I got told he jumped infront of a train but they who know him better said it could have been an accident.
Could someone edit that part out?

Xarea u meant :P

RIP however he died. Don't really remember him though

[Fifteen]

I found out this morning, and it broke my heart. Ollie was such a friendly, bubbly and fun person to be around. I caught up with him a few weeks ago, he sounded really content and happy with things. He had so much going for him. I'll never forget the time me and him went to London, had such a great time.
Such a loss. RIP Ollie. xxx

[GoldenMerc]

links pls guyzzz

[Slowpoke]

This is horrible, I imagine you'd be able to find something about this on a news site, maybe the site of his local paper? Absolutely tragic, RIP. I do remember him being quite a big member of the forum a few years back. Does anyone have a link to the thread on ClubHabbo?

[Hopeless]

There is only one link saying there were train delays :( Go to ClubHabbo announcements, it's all there. So ******* sad.

[GommeInc]

Hmm, the name rings a bell but not loud enough. It's always a shame when someone young passes away and suddenly. Hopefully it was nothing serious or painful.

[buttons]

i already said it but RIP Ollie

[Casanova]

I didn't know him, as always with suicide/the death of a young adult it's particularly sad; I hope his family are okay and have strength.

[Ardemax]

RIP

Such devastating news, and so young! :(

[myke]

Really sad, I remember him from like years ago

[GoldenMerc]

How and who found out about this?

[Hopeless]

Facebook/Twitter/He had met heaps of people from tinternet.

[alv4]

Oh damn, this is sad...
R.I.P D:

[PaulMacC]

Wow, it seems so strange to have someone you knew online for 3-4 years gone. Didn't speak to him that much but definitely saw him around a lot. Such a shame, RIP. Thoughts are with his family & friends.

[Inseriousity.]

I didn't know him personally but I do remember him from here (didnt he get news manager?). A shame to see such young talent (and mischief by the sounds of Skaterchu's thread!!) go to waste. RIP.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I remember him.

How sad at such a young age.

[beth]

like so many others, saw him around but didn't really know him that well. if it's suicide, then it makes the story even more sadder.
r.i.p thoughts are with his friends and family.

[Jordy]

Just saw Clubhabbo thread.
I got told he jumped infront of a train but they who know him better said it could have been an accident.
Could someone edit that part out?I know it doesn't matter much but people really shouldn't pin their hopes on it being an "accident". Suicide by jumping infront of a train at rush hour is a rather common method of suicide as it's a decision that can be made in a split second. Railway fatalities are next to never accidents in this day and age.

http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk_essex_chaos_for_commuters_after_rail_fatal ity_1_1018623
- There's another news link going round too.

RIP, was very surprised to hear this and thanks to the OP for posting it on here otherwise I might not of heard. Clearly something of a fansite legend, I was lucky enough to be friends with him many years back but haven't spoke to him for a while. I worked with him as an administrator at YourHabbo where he quickly won us a Habbo UK & US Competition, he was also a manager at my fansite in 2006. Then of course he's contributed to ClubHabbo and Habbox enormously too and presumably elsewhere, something of a true fansite legend. The amount of effort he put into everything was phenomenal.

Hilarious guy too, I especially remember him buying all the Habbo UK Charity Auctions on eBay and going into the offices in Islington to pick them up. I also liked when he stuck a Habbo Homes sticker on his house, not sure if anyone else will remember what it was about though, so funny at the time.

[Stephen]

if it was suicide then I feel more sorry for the people who had to pick up the pieces. Not meaning to be gruesome and all but hell that's such a messy way to go +o( Plus the train driver must feel right bad

RIP to him :(

Yeah most train drivers quit there job because of stuff like this, and i know someone lost there life, but it was his choice nobody elses.
When its your time to go your meant to go, all these people saying they wish they could of stopped it, things happen for a reason is the way i see it.

R.I.P

[Con]

ohmygod. this is crazy. i remember him from back when me and Favourtism were running the Graphics department and we worked closely with him D:
He was such a nice guy I'm actually shocked/devastated. I really don't know what to say, it's such a shame he felt the need for this :( RIP.

[Jasonia]

I'll miss Ollie, I remember our skype calls.

I didn't know him personally but from what people said he sounded like a really nice and funny guy. It's a shame he died so young :( My thoughts go out to his family and friends :( xxx

[Rainbow]

I didn't know him but its a shame he died. :( R.I.P

[Meanies]

I've not spoken to him for a few years but I still have some trophies from him, RIP :(

What happened to him?
I'm so sorry.

I've just read the news article and honestly that is quite upsetting and my thoughts are with the family.

However, I just read something on the Facebook page that someone posted and honestly, it was vile. I don't want to post it here because it does contain swearing and it is just sick to the bone.

I don't know how people can be so disrespecting.

[Narnat,]

awww ;/ It's such a shame I do remember him! R.I.P

[GommeInc]

I wouldn't say it's vile as it is sort of true, the language was the only vile part :P Suicide is a selfish act, but to say that is uncalled for as no-one knows what was wrong with him. He seemed to of had a happy life judging by the responses here, so it seems a bit uncalled for and random for someone like him to take his own life. We'll probably never know, it seems the parents aren't aware of any problems but they could just be keeping quiet and answering specific questions like what flowers to have at the funeral from ClubHabbo members. It is odd.

[Con]

Not sure if this has been posted yet but just saw it on ClubHabbo. The local news in his area posted this:
http://www.yourthurrock.com/2011/09/12/harris-academy-mourns-tragic-death-of-much-loved-student-oli/

[AgnesIO]

So how exactly did he pass away?

[Stephen]

he got flattened by a train to be exact

[GoldenMerc]

he got flattened by a train to be exact

That's what im led to believe.

[AgnesIO]

he got flattened by a train to be exact

suicide or disaster?

[GoldenMerc]

Apparently suicide but no one knows...

[Hopeless]

Not clear but as his been pointed out there are minimal train accidents in the UK. It was around 4PM too which makes me think it isn't alcohol related. His tumblr as well:

http://alrightollie.tumblr.com/

[Accipiter]

Some of them Tumblr posts seem to say a lot, such a shame.

[Stephen]

ennit that latest one is creepy

[Jssy]

Omg, I didn't know him but I remember him when I used to use ClubHabbo. Rip Ollie :(

[Rozi]

I remember him and had a few convos with him. It's such a shame that someone has lost their life so young :( RIP

Tbh I think they all know it was probably suicide but they don't want to admit it. Don't see why they have to call you disrespectful etc though

[Matthew]

Tragic news, R.I.P :(

R.I.P didn't know you but sad to hear x

[Grig]

Yeh he was news manager here for about 5 months, don't think anyone really remembers :p, held a few management positions on various fansites actually.

From what I read on his blog, he seemed disturbed before his death, which is a shame. I won't be speculating that it's suicide until it's known, but putting the pieces together I guess it is, and such a shame too.

R.I.P, pity to die at such a young age with talent.

[Kardan]

Just came back on this forum to reply to this. I remember when we were both noobs on this forum back in 2004/2005, and I made him an avatar that I've still got on my computer somewhere... RIP.

Having said that, I think it is a cruel way to end your life since so many people are impacted..

[Hopeless]

The family have confirmed that it was suicide.

[Ardemax]

The family have confirmed that it was suicide.

This is really quite saddening news, although I think most of the pieces had already been put together.

Whoever says it is cruel on the people affected (ie. commuters), this is someones life guys, not how devastating an hour delay is.

I'm not concerned about the commuters. It is hard not to feel something for the train-driver. Horrible for him/her.

Witnesses on the platform, the train driver, the family, the emergency services... they all would of been affected. Although the commuters are not directly involved, it's not really fair for them either. It's someone's life, yes, but no-one knows why he committed suicide, especially when it seems to be quite a shock for everyone when he appears to of been a popular, liked and indeed loved individual. Morbid curiosity makes me wonder why he committed suicide :/

I hate the idea of suicide myself, all the images and things going through your head when you've decided that, this it it.

I know it's not exactly "ideal" but I think we need to still respect it, no matter how he died.

I know it's not exactly "ideal" but I think we need to still respect it, no matter how he died.
I can't really picture it other than superficially, but all that runs through my mind is thoughts on how it's selfish to commit suicide and how it would be useless, but of course I'm not in that state of mind so wouldn't really understand or experience those feelings first hand. It's a depressing moment when anyone dies, but I find it helps to know the moments that led up to it and the thoughts going through the head of the person who feels the need to ultimate release themselves of the strains of life through suicide.

It's difficult with Ollie as he seems to of been happy, yet no-one noticed he had these thoughts. I feel sorry for those who were close to him, and confused by him if I am totally honest. If I knew what had upset him, or if he was clearly depressed, then I'd feel sorry for him but I can't as it just makes no sense :/

[Rozi]

just because you don't appear "clearly depressed" doesn't mean he hadn't struggled with these thoughts for years. it's not unusual for someone to be depressed and it to go unnoticed.

[GommeInc]

That's sort of the point, it's weird how someone so noticeably liked and happy with life decided to this, it's completely out of the blue.

[MissAlice]

Very very sad :(

A very difficult time for his poor family and those that knew him.

R.I.P.

[CHA!NGANG]

I talked to him a few times, very sad.

RIP.

[CJW93]

Met him on this forum andit turns out he lived 5 minutes from me and we ended up going to the same college and would see each other from time to time during breaks times and lunch times. At his old school there is hundres of flowers just by the main recpetion, everyone in my area are shocked, rest in peace ollie

[Jordan:A]

Such a shame, I think I saw him around her a few times.
RIP

[nvrspk4]

I worked with him for quite some time, always a good guy, with an interesting sense of humor. Awful to hear.

I wasn't around habbox when he was but its always a shame to hear of things like this. :(

But I would hate to be on the train that is the cause of someones death, plus the train driver. And to be fair, the delays are not fair on others.

I saw that clubhabbo and thishabbo raised hundreds. Shame Habbox didn't do anything seeing as he was a moderator and management.

[Stephen]

Yeah but take oli for example.. We wouldn't raise money if he died and he was management

[GoldenMerc]

Yeah but take oli for example.. We wouldn't raise money if he died and he was management

So true, people die daily but people move on, and get on with there lifes, imo id rather raise money for Habbox instead of someone thats died, buy hey thats just what i think. now ill wait for the -reps

[RyRy]

Habbox does charity donator every year to a random charity, yet CHF who have less active members than us can afford to donate money to causes like the NSPCC and Papyrus, which Ollie felt strongly about... What the **** is up with this forum.

[Jordan]

IMO about this donating stuff. I don't think most of the members will even know him so I don't think much will be raised. I agree with what stephen is saying as well.

That probably sounds really harsh but I tried to word it best I could

[AgnesIO]

Just saying, less members = smaller hosting bills (less content, less people visiting etc)

[GoldenMerc]

Thing is, what if 4000 people died on this forum, VIP for every single person?
Just because their management on a site doesn't make them any different
Example: MOD-UK died on Habbo
Habbo didn't release UK-VIP or what ever.

[beth]

the thing with clubhabbo/thinkhabbo having their donation thing, ollie was far far closer those communities. i mean fair play, he has worked here and been a part of habbox, but so have many other members. ollie was a big part of clubhabbo and thinkhabbo, and was very close with the owners. he was a massive part of their community, not so much here. not saying he wasn't important and that he shouldn't be remembered, but i don't think it's appropriate here.
for all we know, habbox could have loss many members over the years that we don't even know are dead, we have a larger, less closed community and for that reason i believe it's inappropriate here at habbox.

[Stephen]

We should have a lil hxf graveyard.. If people from hxf die we move them to the graveyard usergroup and give them a white name. That way it's more organised and we'll also easily know of any incoming zombie invasions that may occur.

Not sure when Owen actually died but as Matt says the news of it came out early 2009, I'm surprised a bigger fuss wasn't caused about it seemed like only me and Sam cared at all at the time, and yeah Visa's American or Canadian and an idiot, I think Stephen's referring to spiffing

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken it’s toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won’t say goodbye
anymore

Logged on to see this and was shocked, despite being a month or two delayed in finding out. I actually signed on to CH for the first time in years to post but the thread was locked.

RIP to an absolute legend. I remember some good times, like when we were doing devotehost with harry, when I had to argue to get you off the do not hire list here so you'd be able to become assistant news manager, when we did all the other ****** habbo forums and laughed on msn etc. Apart from one other person you're pretty much the most trustworthy person I knew online, you even had my address etc for that little NDA! Still pretty damn shocked and trying to find out more info, was still assuming up to a few months ago that we were gonna go for that beer next year and have a laugh reminiscing over all the old Habbo stuff.

It is very sad that it was over these rip off loan sharks that if they were plying their trade on the street would be locked up and called obscene but cos they pay taxes and run it like a business, it's all okay and no-one cares that lives get ruined in the process. :(

i'm sorry, but those who lent the money aren't completely at fault here. his parents in the article state that he was intelligent enough to know the ins and outs of it all, but he still borrowed to fuel his gambling in bingo halls. i'm not saying that payday loans are a good thing, but it's easier said than done to just throw the blame elsewhere. it's a sad thing (edit;and i mean sad as in sorrow/sad, not as in insult/sad) for someone to take their life over (as i'm sure he found the pressure of his debts tied with his gambling addiction just too much), but he also had his hand in his downfall.

[Inseriousity.]

Oh I'm not saying he is absolved from all responsibility and I don't completely buy the "it's there at a click of button so it's not real" angle they were going for but there should be a duty of care as well.

so basically he was addicted to buying bingo tickets so he took out some loans, got into debt...... and then jumped in front of a train

Someone should make that into a film lol

Please don't make a joke out of this. I knew oli very well and never knew of any money troubles. I knew him for years (since he was ollierocks). I miss our marathon long skype chats.

I wish he spoke to us about his money trouble. he was loved by many and many would of helped him.

RIP OLI <3

[Stephen]

not joking

it just sounds like an interesting story which could be a big hit at the box office

It's sad, but he chose to go to these companies who are literally only there for a short-term money solution and he was using them as a long-term reason and didn't appear to intend to pay any money back in return. He obviously deserved the barrage of letters asking for payment, because he agreed to the terms - but it's still awful that he killed himself in September because of it. It's hard knowing what to think of this :/

It's an idea but it seems a bit unfair for people who use these companies for the right purposes. Oli seemed like he was intelligent, yet he didn't have the common sense to understand how these companies work and that his needs could not be found in these companies.

[Grig]

he was a good news manager back at his time on Habbox :).

Judging by it, no one knew he had problems. Which makes you wonder how many similar cases there are out there of people who simply don't speak out and end badly.

[Richie]

I know this is harsh but his parents just seem like they're trying to blame someone. He took the loans, it's his fault. 'He was intelligent' yet he said 'it's there at a click of button so it's not real' because that makes a lot of sense.

was that visa?

Visa was male, wasn't he?

isnt visa that american gay guy who made videos of himself talking about habbo
i kind of feel a bit off that a thread about a blatant suicide was hijacked by people talking about me but i guess i fit in to the flow of the conversation somehow so it's alright but honestly this issue has my full respect


Just realised we said "was" makes it sound like he has died
oh it was a big joke with abcjvt one time to fake my death on here and i think it happened another time, we went out of our way to make facebook mourning comment screenshots and stuff like it makes me sick to think about it but it was like four or five years ago so i can't dwell on it and instead i will just keep growing


Visa died, came back, died came back
just for popularity i imagine
oh ross it worked perfectly but i did it in all the wrong ways and got all the wrong type of popularity


Maybe but sure it was him where his 'mate' logged on and announced he had died or something

not particularly thrilled


and yeah Visa's American or Canadian and an idiot
my username had a lowercase gosh

on topic:

suicide is literally very unpredictable and impulsive and i can say that having spent probably over a year in cumulative time cared for in a psych ward. there used to be days when i was content just seeing blood and there were days when i wanted to see bone and other days when i would just down a bottle of pills to fall asleep and forget the pain. i don't mean to talk about myself but some suicidal people will think about it half-heartedly until an opportune moment arises and just totally do it without thinking. i want to know if he left a note and, if so, how far in advance but that is very private i think. half of me believes he was just generally upset about his financial situation and addiction to bingo and hopped on to the platform after about three seconds of thinking.

it can happen to anyone and you can play judge and say it wasn't worth it all you want. you're right in that it wasn't worth it but sometimes it gets to the point when something in your brain switches and you are capable of making the step off the platform and on to the tracks. he was even more impulsive than people like me were in the sense that i took my time hurting myself and he was able to end his life in a few seconds. i would say that ollie was thinking more on that dark side than people in my place ever did because he didn't put out cries for help. that's the worst part because, as far as i can tell, no one expected it and the most warning anyone had were some pictures taken as teen angst on his tumblr. really, my heart goes out to his parents because they will probably never be able to comprehend the feelings.

as for him being smart enough to know about the interest, he probably was. in personal experience, i was smart enough to know that so many of the things i did were very dangerous. it didn't matter in my head, it was all about how my heart was feeling and feeding the addiction. i never knew this guy but thank goodness people were talking about me in here so i noticed it because, really, this hits close to home. it's a sad loss that is mirrored all too often. bless him and if i was his friend i would do my best to maintain his positive legacy. don't let people talk about suicides like this and blame ollie. he needed help and was too strong and too weak at the same time to get it.

Another report about him, well more about his parents doing something about it etc.

Saw this on the Facebook page about him. Some of the percentages are shocking.

[Stephen]

didnt someone post that somewhere else or make a new thread or something cant remember

Nah Mike posted it in here the other week about what happened to make him do it etc. That's his parents trying to make a stand for it.

R.I.P Ollie Bud, always will be missed x

[Jordy]

Very shocked by this as I've never once heard about his gambling (even from all his supposed close mates online who thought they knew everything about him). Really is quite concerning how easy the money is to get and how an 18 year-old could easily get lured into it. The fact an 18 year-old has committed suicide over debt is just shocking, I've never heard anything like it.

[GoldenMerc]

not going to lie, when i was a bit younger two of my mates applied for these quick loans, one got accepted, one got declined. Both worked, both earn about £1500 per month. The one who took the loan out is now doing what Ollie done, go from one to another to pay the debt off. the other one has a heap of money well earnt cash.

When it comes down to it, it isn't as simple as that is it? :(

[Ardemax]

Glad the payday loan companies didn't keep sending bills through, as sadly many do after someone has died.

It's sad to think that around the time this happened, one of my finance teachers told me never to borrow from payday loan companies.

Once again RIP Ollie!
