RIP Tony.

Interestingly, he has the same real life name as me.

I played RTR back when Rome was still THE game... but haven't since. I never knew of any of the modders (I don't have an account at TWC), but it was high quality, and that speaks volumes about Tony83.

Turns out he was a nice guy and a fake.

What do you mean, a "fake"?

For the past 5-6 years he was posting photos of a male model, and claiming that it was him. He would also usually post pictures of this person in underware and encourage other male members of TWC to pose in underware too.

He claimed he was gay and had a boyfriend called Ian, no big deal there, however the model in question is straight and is a public figure, in a small way, but still somewhat famous in certain circles. It was brought to TWC attention on a number of occasions that this might result in slander and possible legal action. It could well be ID fraud.

His other accounts on other forums were active on 27th when we was supposed to have passed away on the 25th. The 'news' was broken by his 'brother' just hours after. Of cource these accounts may have been accessed by someone else.

His photos were taken off of TWC just a couple of days after his death when someone brought it to the attention of the forum staff, again. This time they finally took his images off.
