Eine traurige Nachricht für euch

[Cranberry]

Zis is the humour, ja? On ze April Fool's Day, you are saying ze one thing that is not true, und zen, ven ze people are believing this, you reveal that it is not true. A ha ha ha!

Thank you newbie for confirming another of my prejudices about Teutons.

If you want to imitate German accent by exchanging "th" with "z", better go through with it completely.
Hence:

*zing *zat *zis *zat

We laugh - "hahahaha" -  by the way, one word and starting with a "h"

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Krampus was driving that train.

I guess if we got an official IP-address linked to his account that would help?

Anyway, I did search for some stuff, and the closest to what I found is a car colliding with a train on March 23rd near Zell am See, with two dead, both in their 40ies though... So I guess we can render this quite unlikely...

What's Tender's mail, by the way? Maybe that could help us find him on Facebook?

FWIW, if this sort of thing happened in the US, it's plausible that there'd be no reporting on it. But I don't know whether the Austrian media follow similar rules regarding suicides.

I'm pretty sure you would find something... I searched for reports on disorders on the train tracks near Zell am See, reports on incidents in many of the countless regional papers, and I didn't find anything... Not that that means it didn't happen, just, I'm pretty sure you would have found something...

My theory of why he's been absent is that he's gotten trapped in his basement.

OP's IP is supposedly from LA. Has Mike killed Tender?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Word has it that the IP traces itself to Los Angeles.

Sir Banalot would know the "word" too.

The guy must have been here for a decade and nobody knows his real name?

[politicus]

The guy must have been here for a decade and nobody knows his real name?

About 8 years and most posters do not give out their real names.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Yes but tender is very ... Forthcoming about other aspects of his life

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The guy must have been here for a decade and nobody knows his real name?

Unless you intend meet up for a couple of drinks, as I've done with several here, or, you're on my FB friends list (as several here are) there's no need.  I've had a couple of departed members leave me their email which does include their real name, but it's not common at all.  The internets are a bad place sometimes. One must be careful.

I'm looking forward to a very gruesome Austrian version of this:

Yeah, just a few days ago the train I was on in Sweden killed someone but I couldn't find any reporting on it in any media.

We will most probably never know what happened. Also, you usually hear through one sort of info or the other when something like that happens in Austria; but as I said, we will likely never know what happens.

[Antonio the Sixth]

wouldn't it be ironic* if this were just a prank but our (justifiably) offended responses shame tender so much that he never posts here again and we end up assuming that it wasn't a joke?

This seems the most likely outcome, at this point.

Harry, you are lucky to live in such a beautiful country!

Btw, my real name´s not Harry, it´s Roland (you can also call me Roli, like my friends) and yeah, Austria is definitely a great and beautiful country to live in. Couple of days ago we had this bizarre sun/cloud phenomenon at sundown. I put the pics in here to show you. Today is a wonderful sunny day and I think will go play some soccer soon, but now it´s too hot. You´d be dead if you play soccer for some hours in this heat ...  

What I was able to dig up on Tender's name - not that it's much help

Another forum icon gone

[tik 🪀✨]

As a joke or not, this is vile.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Please, continue, it's better than Lost.

The best part was about the novel. Especially correlated to Germanwings.

Ah and, in case there'd be a part of truth in all of this, gosh, Germanic demographies really don't need that worse aspect they are very lately taking...

What I like(d?) with Tender is that he might have been one of the rare posters to try make exist non-English words on this forum.

Has "RIP " been banned?
How can I tell anyway if а user is banned?

Zell am See has 10.000 people, there can not be that many Rolands, so you could likely find him by looking him up on the phone book if they incl. mobile phones in Austria.

[solarstorm]

These are all Rolands from Zell am See I could find in the "Herold":

Dittrich Kai Roland
Hable Roland
Haslauer Roland, Mag.
Herzog Roland
Hotter Roland
Jäger Roland
Miesenbeck Roland
Mitländer Roland
Radacher Roland
Rauchenberger Roland
Reitenbach Roland
Thiess Roland


Here's a photo of Roland:



Maybe someone go search him on Faсebook?

Rush is already three hours too long. If Limbaugh were to get longer, that would be evidence against the existence of a benevolent God.

Yeah, what is this sh*t ?

I certainly ain't dead.

I had some (personal) stuff to do in the past 2 weeks involving my mum, who went really sick and only went online today again.

So, I'm away for 2 weeks and people think I jumped in front of a train and go all paranoid ?

Pffff.

I suspect the usual suspects (Grumps, Kalwejt, Mr. Morden etc.) are behind this plot here or something. Who knows ...
