    Post R.I.P. TosaInu

    It is with great sorrow that we have been informed TosaInu has passed away. The thoughts and prayers of all of us are with him, his family and his beloved ones; he will be greatly missed. He was a generous, caring man and all of those who knew him feel his loss.
    It is still hard to find words - if you would like to share your thoughts please visit TosaInu's personal profile

    Thank you for all that you have done for us, TosaInu.

    Ja mata

    Default RIP TosaInu

    Our beloved admin, TosaInu, has passed away.

    There is an announcement at the top of the forums, But I feel that it isnt noticeable enough so Im posting the tragic news here.

    I think it would be nice for everyone to share their favorite moments/interactions with Tosa.
    Ill go first.

    Over a year ago, I had trouble with another member. We took it to Tosa who resolved the situation calmly and fairly, and even though the other party got angry with the outcome and hurled insults at Tosa, he remained calm and dealt with it. After that he always had my utmost respect.

    RIP Tosa, you will be missed.

    This is a joke, right?

    You mean Tosa has passed away as passed away or that he has stepped down?

    Unfortunately I am being serious. TosaInu has passed from this earth, hopefully he is now in a better one. If you look at the top of the page you will see the official announcement.

    Is anyone who knows Tosa in rl able to verify this, or could someone have just hacked his account and pretended to be family or something?

    If that information is to be given, then I guess Ser Clegane will eventually speak on it.

    The word is thrown out a lot but it really applied to Tosa; guy was simply pure class, best way to describe him.

    Second time this year that a major member of a forum I frequent has passed away....

    Might I make a suggestion that we rename one of the forums here in his honor? Perhaps the Entrance Hall or something appropriate? I suggest the EH because then all new members will know whose hallowed halls they are walking into............

    This has hit me for six... it just doesn't quite seem real...

    I feel so upset that I will never get the chance to thank you for all your hard work and what you did here, my sincerest condolences to your loved ones...

    What Reenk said rings true... you were pure class man, there isn't many like you!
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    Although my only interactions with TosaInu were with getting a special avatar and him editing a post of mine (), I am truly saddened by this. How did this information come to us? Did a family member post?

    Ser hasn't given us any more information, other than that he passed away about two days ago. I vaguely recall his being ill for a while but he last posted on his own profile on the 24th of this month, so this would appear sudden.

    Like all men who have come to embody an institution he seemed immortal and eternal, the .Org will surely be lessened without his quiet presence.

    I am lost for words.

    Tosa wasn't just the admin for the ORG, he was the ORG. Through rough times he fought long and hard to make sure it endured...and there were some close calls.

    I am just glad that I came back in time to "see" him again...but that said, just a few days ago he had sent me a message that he was busy and we would "catch up soon"...I was looking forward to that.

    Until we meet in the next lifetime, farewell Tosa, you will be missed and remembered.
