Administrators Neil Brock Posted April 17, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'm very saddened to say that long-serving moderator Kriss passed away yesterday morning after a long battle with illness. Made such a difference around here, was a real credit to these forums and everything associated with FM. Personally I remember chatting to him a fair bit when we first launched FML and always struck me just how nice a bloke he was. Had known about his illness for a fair while but Kriss never let it slow him down. He was still the same, cracking jokes and making light of most things. It's very often when someone passes you only remember their good qualities but he simply just didn't have any bad ones. Although some people in GD who may have felt the wrath of his ban hammer may well disagree of course! You may note he's still listed as a moderator and as far as I'm concerned always will be. He was far more to this place than just a moderator, he was incredibly passionate about these forums and the people who posted here and that always came across in the posts he made. Miles stated earlier that he was a legend of the community and I wholeheartedly agree. RIP Kriss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

llama3 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He really was an outstanding moderator, and better still a great person. Loved his manner and style, and think Neil you've summed him up better than I can. Rest in Peace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Side Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sad news. Although in a community such as ours most members will never meet face to face, reading what others post and mainly stuff that the mod's post which gives us more little insight into FM, you get the impression that you get to know that person just a little bit. Just from what he/she writes. Feels like losing a distant relative but for those close to him probably much more... R.I.P. Kriss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
