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

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 :/

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.

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.

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.
