Just go into the Home page and then scroll down in the general section and you should find it. 

Not there for me - might not have access to it

It seems that is the case, I did not realise that.

Maybe that part of the site should be open to more people, don't know.

But there's people who've posted in there knowing it isn't. 

Could parts of it maybe be redone?

Not sure why it is but I just remember others having this issue mate

Like others, I never met Ben - only knew him on here, yet am still gutted at the news. Reading through all the posts it’s clear that it’s not only his family and friends that have lost someone special, but the many other people he helped, as well. It’s truly awful news.

Rest easy, Ben.

Not sure either mate but it is maybe something that needs looked at in time.

I'am absolutely cut up & devastated and no words can describe how I am feeling right now. Ben was my lifelong best friend, we have been through everything together - he was a brother to me. I have more memories with him than I do anybody else, from going to Ibrox together every second week and thousands more - memories I will now cherish for the rest of my life.

Reading the posts in this thread, people who did & did not know him personally sharing their kind words, its the only thing that has made me smile in the last 48hrs. He was a great guy and one of a kind and that goes to show.

Sleep easy my mate, I'll always miss you ❤️

 

 

So sorry for your loss mate 😔

Fuck sake, what a shock, rest easy Ben.

If you see a fellow Bear struggle, hold out your hand, for he is indeed your Brother.

Anyone to be honest. Things like this when they hit home are so much bigger than what team you support.

Heartbreaking news. Thoughts to his family and friends.

[KaiserJon 12,489]

Saddened to read this. As many have said was a good guy.👍

@ROSSM1 sorry for your loss.

 

[285miles 515]

Gutted to read this.

you could tell he worked really hard for this forum

condolences to everyone who knew him personally and his family 

[Helicopter Sundae 6,218]

Genuinely saddened to hear this.

Forum mods are often taken for granted. Forgetting that they have their problems just as everyone else does. And that behind the poster is a supporter who is a small part of something massively bigger.

[rangersross 6,579]

So sorry to hear this. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. 

[Blue Skies 31]

Heart breaking news. My thoughts go out to family and friends at this difficult time.

Hi mate,

This link isnt working for me - is it down at the minute or is it an issue on my end?  Would really like to visit that part of the site.

Same here, this is what happens...

[theblueoysterbar 19,872]

Don't process things as awful in my head immediately. Need hours and days. Just wish there was something I could have said to help while he was still about.

[josmc 525]

I’m so sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family and friends. Life can be so difficult and cruel at times. There but for the grace of God go I. Rest in Peace Ben.

Tragic news, and terrible loss. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

[Ambrogio 522]

Only had a few conversations with the guy through RM didn’t know him as well as others but what a sad and devastating loss . All thoughts and prayers with his family and friends .

[The Hammer 11 2,668]

Never knew ben personally but always enjoyed his posts on here, I get the sentiment behind renaming a part of the forum after him but it's not going to make an impact, maybe starting a benevolent fund to pay for bears that could use a bit of counselling but cant afford it would be a good avenue to go down, that will make a difference and hopefully stops another tragedy like ben's passing happening again

[Goofy The Scot 639]

I'm not exactly a prolific poster here but i have been a member for a while and i do pop in and read plenty of threads/posts - GabrielTomato was always a username that stood out and gave me a smile.

My condolences to his friends and family - rest in peace young man :(

[Cooperson 880]

Rest easy Ben x

[TheBluebells 6,898]

Don’t even know what to say reading that, been on the forum for a long time and don’t post as much now but Ben was a great poster and a huge part of the forum, he will be sorely missed. 
 

Really heartbreaking news and send best wishes to the family. 
 

Rest easy Ben 💙

Hi All, 

It gives me great sadness to announce the passing of one of our own, Ben (@ben51 / @GabrielTomato / @Clemdog) yesterday. 

As you may have been aware from his posts on it on this board, Ben has been battling his demons for a period of time and sadly yesterday he succumbed to them. 

We are devastated to lose Ben. He was a funny, caring and intelligent young man who has been lost to the world far too soon. I know many people on this board knew Ben in person and will be very upset by this. 

Please hold your nearest and dearest close to you. Please reach out if you are struggling and please also ask people in your circle if they are struggling. Use the Mind Matters section as openly as you want to - something that Ben was a huge advocate of. 

Until we meet again, Ben 🫡 💙

Really sorry to hear that, didn't know him personally just from his posts on here my thoughts go out to friends and family at this sad time.
