I just found out that today marks a month since Harry Jones aka Slowpoke (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=43717) passed away. Smashing chap, he totally annoyed us at first but was eventually accepted into the Kl Krew and became a really good friend to me even though in the last year we drifted. During his time here he was also a pretty key member of the moderation team which as always got himself the good mix of respect of hatred that we all recognise in moderators of all forums :P as far as I'm aware though he had no long-standing haters and going by his fb page he was extremely popular out in the real world while most of us don't even know what that is. Lovely guy with a big nose, I think that's what got him in the end but I'm not 100%, very sad either way RIP Fat Harry xoxo

He was one of the people who's name always stood out on the forum

isn't it scary how any one of us can die at any time, and the forum might not find out for months/ever

don't think i ever spoke to him, but RIP

Just read the article. Very sad to hear, he was a part of the moderation department last year and seemed like a really nice guy. RIP.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. I remember him being in the moderator department when I was there, he always seemed like a nice guy and did chat quite a bit and have a few laughs. Quite surprised and shocked at this :(

Very sad news, R.I.P Harry :(

As soon as someone mentioned this I knew I recognised the name. He was obviously a really well respected member to be known by loads and it's a real shame. Reading the article definitely does get you thinking as well.

R.I.P Harry. :(

Wow, I remember him always being around since I joined. Can't say I ever spoke to him, poor guy.

Not always my favourite guy while he was on the moderating team, but it's always a shame to hear about someone dying nonetheless.

Oh my god I actually remember him, we've spoken before! Oh wow. RIP. xx

omgosh that's so hard. I didn't really get to know him but I knew of him as he was a good moderator. RIP

Such a shame to hear. He was well respected around the forums and although I only actually spoke to him once, I thought he was a very good moderator even if others didn't. RIP x

O what I didn't even know he died. No wonder i haven't seen him on the forum for a bit. So sad to hear about this.

Where is this article people keep mentioning?
Didn't know he had passed away. It's always a shame when anyone young dies.

Hmm, hard to say anything when drugs are involved :/ It's certainly a shock - last I spoke to him properly was in July when his cat died. Seemed a decent enough individual anyway. Just unfortunate.

Oh dear how sad, i'm sure we used to talk a bit a few years ago - certainly do remember the name vividly. Another young life cut short by the menace that is drug taking, and for what? ridiculously stupid. RIP Harry.

People can be idiots at times. . .

Oh wow I think I've got infractions from him on my old account, that's a bit nerdy but you know. Saying he's an idiot for drugs is a bit unfair though, we don't know what was going on in his life and to disrespect somebody whose died and isn't called Jimmy Saville is a bit mean.

RIP.

No tramadol is a really really strong painkiller, my mum was on them after she had spinal surgery a few years ago. Anyway this is really shocking and just goes to show really, life is too short :(

Oh wow I saw the article about 2/3 weeks ago, I didn't realise it was him! It was on the local news before I went to school too.

I remember I started speaking to him because he had set his location to Blackpool and I was pretty excited to see someone on here who was also from there :') I was wondering where he was these past few months as well

Never knew the guy, but R.I.P.

It's a real shame, actually just saw a thread post by him from 6 months ago.. It's weird to think he only wrote that 6 months ago and now he's gone.

Scary :(

Guys, I have removed 52 posts from this thread which is basically a rather lengthy argument about something that this thread was not intended for. If you want to discuss those particular issues then feel free to make a debate, discuss it elsewhere but please don't link it to this in anyway or make it personal- its not fair on people at all and had turned this thread into something very very negative. Let's just keep it nice, and pay our respects. I'm re-opening the thread now and please remember that this thread is not a debate about drugs, or what is right or wrong. - Those kind of posts will be removed.


RIP Harry, I never got to speak to you much, but we did chat via PMs occasionally and I do miss you!
