As was suggested have something annually with a few raffles thrown in. MisterC and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Creampuff 22,628 Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 Incredible money raised so far, number still rising further today. With regards to further fundraising, the site staff are discussing the best/most appropriate options for this moving forward. We want to make sure anything and everything we do here is with the support and blessing of Ben’s family (as this fundraiser was) - so we’ll need a little time to sort that out. We’ll be back in due course when we have an update. 16BlueSherbert90, ForeverAndEver, Darth Bear and 16 others 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 🫡 💙 Haven’t been on in a while and this is hard to read. 11 years on this forum and a privilege to have spoke to Ben multiple times.

Popular Post Marky. 6,946 Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2023 Fuck. I’ve been away for the last few weeks and not been active. Ben was one of the most genuine guys on here. He had time for everyone, even in disagreement. He was a model poster for all on this forum. I have no doubts the way he carried himself on here would have been the same in real life. He made an impression on me and many others and my god he will be missed. Terrible news, and thoughts are for all close to him and who loved him, and by god there are plenty of people who do. Thanks for everything mate. don logan, Raisetheroofe, wully and 12 others 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really hit home to me a guy who I "knew" in a sense. I don't think I've ever been so moved by the death of someone I'd never met as in this case. We didn't always see eye to eye and my first thoughts were that it was my fault and we should have done but I'd like to think that the reason he put so much into RM was to encourage differing views and opinions. So I take comfort in the fact that while I might have disagreed with Ben in his various usernames more than a few times, it was in the spirit of good honest debate and airing of views which he championed.
