loretian	For those who haven't heard, Billy 'Wicked' Wilson passed away last night. I'm normally not the sentimental type, but his death has really saddened me. Billy founded Voodooextreme.com back around '96 or '97, and it was the first really large gaming website of that kind (where there was hourly updates and it wasn't run as a promotional tool by a corporation). Voodooextreme.com was the first website I ever brought into a 'website visiting routine' that I started checking out daily. On several occasions, I e-mailed Billy about several different things, and he was always cool and helped me out. When V2 was GPL'ed, he gave us a posting even though Verge wasn't related to voodooextreme.com type news at all, just to be nice, which gave us a lot of traffic and a (relatively) large amount of publicity. More than that, I always enjoyed reading his posts, which I did almost daily until he started updating much more infrequently with his new site. It's odd, but for someone I hardly even knew, I really feel like a friend of mine has passed away. RIP, Billy. Posted on 2005-03-15 09:43:24

mcgrue	Sweet. We should use the failed organs of various internet personas to reconstruct a Failure Golem! We have access to a Liver and a Spleen. I think that's a good start! Posted on 2005-03-16 05:08:05

Ben McGraw's lovingly crafted this website from scratch for years.
It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
