Sad news re: Andyman

[Mark]

Hi all,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but today we found out that forum member andyman passed away back in March 2010.

Andy suddenly stopped posting almost 18 months ago and everyone assumed he had got fed up with the site, or had taken a long break.

We found out this morning that Andy passed away in his sleep sometime between the date of his last post on here and a few days later.

Newer members might not remember him so much, but he was a well liked member of the forum, was very active 24 hours a day, and a firm believer in The Brotherhood.

I hope wherever he is now he is surrounded by the pictures of the women and food he always had in his signature!

RIP

[Iceman]

RIP Andyman, so sad to hear, he left his mark on this site with loads.

[Scarlett.]

Oh my....I am lost for words

Rest in peace Andyman, the one true king of TiBB :(

[Ramsay]

Oh My God
So sad to hear :(
RIP Andyman

[Patrick]

I didn't get a chance to get to know him, I just remember always complementing him on his KFC SIGs and stuff. :sad:

He seemed like a really easy going lad.

R.I.P Man :(

[Chuck]

omgz how shocking and sad :"(

My heart has actually sank, R.I.P Andyman :(

Andyman's Only Blog Entry:

Don't be sad
I'm only going away
To a place where kings roam free
So when you look above
Into the moonlight sky, don't worry
I will always be by your side
As a Brotherhood Knight in the sky
Always by your side.. Like a true Brotherhood Knight.

:sad:

Oh my god I felt so sad when I read that. I remember Zee saying he thought he had passed away rather than left.

R.I.P. Andyman :sad:

Thats terrible, I really did like him :sad:

I think I knew thats what happened though. R.I.P Andyman

Awful news. Just out of curiosity, how did you find out?

[Wildcat!]

Oh Maan! That is sad news indeed! :(

I have never once felt something like this from a person I dont really know, on the internet, passing.
He was a laugh man. A really funny lad, and very memorable poster. He even sat with me to watch the super Bowl, when no one else really cared :D

You will be missed Andyman, thanks for the laughs.

Yeah I had a funny feeling, it just seemed really bizarre to just disappear and never come back when he was such a huge contributor to the forum... very sad news, thanks Chewy for letting me know! Such a funny man and a great character, even if I didn't know him particularly well, and I'm just sad that we only found out now... R.I.P. Andy!!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how old was he?

[Jordan.]

Awful news. I can remember him been one of the main posters I noticed on here when I first joined. RIP :(

[Tom]

in his 30s i think

[Glenn.]

I was only wondering the other day where Andy had gone. This is really sad news.
Rest in Peace my friend :sad:

[Scarlett.]

I remember that morning a few years ago when me, him and Ross were just sat up all night talking about the food in his sig in a thread :(

[Ramsay]

I probably still wouldnt even be on here if it wasent for the Brotherhood so i can always thank Andyman for that :(

[Suze]

I didn't know him, but it is always sad when a forum member on a site passes away, especially a much loved one :(

[Novo]

Simply gutted about it one of the very first members i started speaking to on the forum because we shared all the same interests use to love his sense of humor as well and the way he use to say things with added " !! " and the end :joker: the days of The Brotherhood were the best times for me since i joined this forum and the whole reason the brotherhood happened was because of Andyman

Such a great guy RIP :(

[Novo]

" The crest and crowning of all good, Life's final star, is Brotherhood. "

[Iceman]

I remember that morning a few years ago when me, him and Ross were just sat up all night talking about the food in his sig in a thread :(

I think everyone had a conversation with him about his Sig's at one time or another :laugh: master of the Sig's!

omg :sad:

RIP

[Iceman]

I probably still wouldnt even be on here if it wasent for the Brotherhood so i can always thank Andyman for that :(

Same for me. :(

[Iceman]

His posts at night taken from Teletext were brilliant too :) Random news stories posted for the hell of it!

[Scarlett.]

He was truely one of a kind :(

[Niamh.]

RIP Andyman :(

[Tom]

Just a thought, that makes 3 of them now that we know of- Andyman, Angiebabe (apparently) and ROB. makes you wonder how many more there could be that we dont know of :(

[Harry!]

That is such sad news it really is, he was so funny and a one of a kind member. I was a convert from Early Zeta to the Brotherhood and I am glad that I made the right choice. I can remember having real dreams about eating the foods on his sigs. God bless x

RIP :(

[BigSister]

Oh no thats terrrible!. Thanks Nicky and Chewy for letting me know
RIP

[Niamh.]

This was my favourite of his foods

Unfortunately I don't know of Andyman... but you all talk about him in a great light so he must have done something right, I hope he will R.I.P.

[Tom]

:sad:

The chances are we'd never find out

[Ryan.]

RIP andyman.

I didn't know you, but I vaguely remember your signatures. Have fun wherever you are now.
:(

[Locke.]

Awful news. Don't think there has ever been or will ever be a funnier member. RIP mate :(

[Ryan.]

RIP andyman.

I didn't know you, but I vaguely remember your signatures. Have fun wherever you are now.

[Kerry]

Awwww no. That's made my heart sink :(

He was lovely. Crazy. We likes crazy.

Bless him x

[Patrick]

The chances are we'd never find out

Of course we would, look at this - we found out about AndyMan.

I think it depends on whether or not your family are aware you're on such a site, or that you have friends on it - worth informing of your death.

You're right though in a way, for some of us we would never know - for other's we probably would find out eventually.

[bbfan1991]

Really sad news:(. RIP Andyman!:bawling:

[Maia]

I remember some of his food sigs as well, they made me hungry.

I remember watching IAC one night in 2009 and can't remember what it was he was saying but he was being quite bonkers. Funny guy he was.

Awful news, great member, RIP :(

Anybody else find reading the messages posted on his wall before this news was known but since his departure somewhat...creepy now? If that's the right word.

[Shaun]

omg. I can't believe this :( he was such a legend. <3

[Locke.]

It is weird to think that he is gone I always expected him to pop back up when a new series of Big Brother starts or when the football season starts.

Any mods know if the plans are still going ahead to bring the Brotherhood thread back?

[bbfan1991]

I think the BH should be brought back, perhaps as a forum tribute to him?:)

Thinking about his F&F too:(.

[Shaun]

i feel awful for ever being in zeta now LOL :/

[Kerry]

James has mentioned it yeah :) I'm sure something can be done

[bbfan1991]

I used to enjoy the Man Utd/Liverpool banter with him or post pictures of girls in the BH:D.

He was a great member, hilarious, kind and this is kind of cringy to say on here but his spirit will live on:blush:.

[bigbros]

It has been years since our last chat but hes always been a funny and lighthearted guy. Rip Andyman.

[Benjamin]

The Brotherhood vs. Zeta were legendary times on here and a big part of TiBB history, which he was a major part of. :)

[Locke.]

Yeah by far the best times on TiBB.. Weird that about 70% of the members involved don't even post anymore

Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. I do miss those days sometimes, there were some amazing members.

[Shaun]

yeah, I'll have to inform linda because she was hugely respective towards him and the whole zeta thing was only ever intended as a pisstake rivalry against his brotherhood :p he was such a good laugh.

[Iceman]

Have Stickied this like the other two :sad:

This was his last post on here. :sad:

Such sad news! Rest in peace buddy :(

[Callum]

Very sad to hear this, he was a great member and I remember his ever changing signatures. RIP :(

[Annie]

Just found out about this today from Redmoon. Actually devastated that someone who full of life has lost theirs.
I will always remember him for recruiting me as first girl to the Brotherhood with Ben and Andy and David. And his love of topless girls and food.
I lost him on facebook and thought he had just deleted me after chatting everyday. Now I know the truth but I wish I knew sooner.

RIP Andy - always remembered.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

RIP Andy

[James]

It's really sad. :sad: Andyman, like his status says, was classic.

[arista]

Sad news
He will be missed

[lily.]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how old was he?

He told me he was about 3 or 4 years younger than me.. so that'd make him about 32/33-ish when he passed..

Quite shocking news to be honest. I guess you never really think about these things when someone you know from online just disappears one day.

He was a cracking laugh.. I reckon he was probably like that in real life too. Shame for his family & friends.. losing him at that age..

I talked to him loads during Zeta Vs Brotherhood.

For those of you who weren't around then.. I used to chat with him on here.. then one evening when I wasn't online.. he started up the Brotherhood... He sent out 'invites' by PM to people. He was acting like you could only chat in his thread if you'd been invited. He forgot to invite me.

So when I came online and found out I hadn't been invited, I pretended like I was p*ssed off with him and started yakkin at him for 'forgetting' to invite me.. I told him it was too late to make it up to me [again, jokingly] and I started up the Cult of Lili and said my Cult would be more popular than his Brotherhood..

A few name-changes later, we had turned into Zeta, and the whole Zeta Vs Brotherhood wars began. We had a lot of laughs with that.. and I'm sure we irked the mods when things got out of hand. The funny thing is.. while the forum was divided and arguing, Andy and I were PMing each other laughing like ****** about it like a couple of sh*t-stirring kids..

Those were good times.. I know everyone gets nostalgic about certain time periods on forums.. but that does stand out to me as a time where I enjoyed coming on here and having a laugh..

Anyway, I'm rambling on... so I'll conclude by saying.. RIP Andy.. Wherever you are now.. Xx

[Shaun]

when you put it that way linda it's kinda like we owe him for us lot (the zeta/fierce people) being so close-knit as we are now... :love:

[Scarlett.]

He sure left a big mark on this place

[Mrluvaluva]

That's really sad news. He was a great member. May he R.I.P. wherever he is.

[Jessica.]

:bawling:

[Red Moon]

This is sad news indeed. It not the thing you expect to read when you come on the site.

I remember him as a great member that spent a lot of time on the site making it an interesting and fun place to be. Some of his post and threads were just wonderful and his love of Big Brother and the site amazing. He will be missed by many still here and by even more people that have left the site over the years. He will have touched so many with his posts and his love of life. What is more he always seemed to be here and his loyalty to his friends was commendable. He was so young that this is a big shock for all of us and I hope he is in peace where ever he is.

It has been nice to see Linda and other old members back even if it under because of this sad news. Seeing their names again on TiBB, and working out which name Stropz (aka Linda etc etc) was using brought up some old threads and memories. But there is another side to this, it shows how Anyman's passing has left a footprint on TiBB and while TiBB goes on he will be remembered, as will all of us that have posted here over the years.

[Tom4784]

He was a great member and as Shaun and Linda said if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made such close friends with a lot of the members on here. I had my suspicions that something like this had happened but I always hoped for a happier outcome.

He'll be missed.

[Niall]

I never knew Andyman at all really. The little that I did know, I only garnered from other members and that was mostly that he was something of a legend on here. i was really keen to see him return just to know why he was so sorely missed so I'm really sad to hear that he's passed away. :sad:

RIP. :sad:

[Sawyer]

RIP Andyman, I knew of you but we never spoke :(

Does anyone know what happened to President?

[sooty]

I sometimes wondered why he stopped posting.

I miss his Sunday roast signature.

R.I.P. Andyman.

Think what you've done here is a rather fitting and incredibly nice way of putting forward the Forums own tribute to him.

Just wanted to revisit this thread as when this thread was posted I was having slight problems with posting.

He was a remarkable person and member. I was a member of the Brotherhood and I will always remember him in such a positive way. I will never take the Andymans Brothergood banner off. He was brilliant and great fun to talk to.

[Wildcat!]

My best memory of Andyman, super bowl a few years ago. Tried to get my mates in london to watch with me, but they couldnt be arsed. Didnt wanna bother going to central london, to watch with strangers, so I posted on Tibb, and Andyman sid he would watch, and post. We were posting back and forth from 1am till like 4:30. He didnt even realy like American football. Great souvenir, super bowl nite, always make methink of it! :)

Someone Else (Who's Online)
was looking at an old
Andyman Closed thread
that ended as he died.

Then Going through this old Mark, nice thread
and viewed Scotts silly post in 2012

So I put him right.
