i'm not that good at these, so i'm just gonna keep typing until i stop thinking. i'm actually sad. i've never even met this person. had he walked past me in the street the other day, when he was still with us, i wouldn't have known. i couldn't have explained how many times i've been pissed off, had a bad day, and come here, and people like him have posted random crap about their own bowel movements, or comparing ric flair to a rice based breakfast snack, or photoshopping a picture of dave batista in a tutu, and none of my crappy day mattered any more, because deep down i realised that it's a good life, filled with people who make one another happy. dinobot was one of those people. it sounds silly to me calling him "dinobot" at such a serious time, but that's all i know him as, the funny, witty, intelligent person who cheered me up along with the rest of you lot. he was 26. i don't know exactly what happened to him, nor do i want to, but the truth is that that could have been any of us. and the shame is that he wouldn't know how much he's done. it seems daft that someone making posts on a web forum based on the subject of semi-naked grown men pretending to fight could do that, but it's a joint effort. day after day we come here and argue, or debate, or joke, about something pretty pointless, and as i'm sat here in england, miles away from people i've never met, reading all your posts in this thread i feel closer to you guys than i've felt towards most people i have met, because you group of morons have actually made me feel damn good in the time i've been here. and yeah, it could be any of us, but if it was, would we know how much this forum means? no, because it doesn't get said enough, that little jokes, tiny wisecracks, even full on angry debates all help us understand people, and appreciate people, and their potential. reading this back i'm goonna cringe because i sound like a sap, but i love each and every one of you. RIP dinobot. we're sorry, mate. you deserved more, and so did everyone who knew you. thats a beautiful post, you said it better than i ever could.

I feel sick to my stomach. Dino was (can't believe I have to use the past tense) one of my very good friends here. Always encouraging to me with my writings and always made me laugh. We used to IM each other a lot and talk not only about wrestling but everything else under the sun, and I enjoyed every single moment of it.
I remember when we were talking about our crushes and for some reason, I trusted him enough to reveal someone I fancied and he said something like, "I expect nothing less of you" and I laughed my head off. And he told me about the time he called the Wrestlemania 9 hotline and what a ripoff it was and how angry his mother got at him for the phone bill. He was also there for me when my father passed and we talked a lot about losing our parents and the effect it had on each of us. One of the last messages I gave to him was congratulating him on becoming a mod and he used that occasion to make a reference to Lon Chaney, which I found very amusing.
I'm so sorry I didn't IM him the last few times I saw him on because I'm always self conscious about bothering people on IM. Now I wish I had.
I'll never forget him, ever. Goodbye, my friend Dino.

I have yet to accept this news, as it's so surreal to me.
You're already missed, man.

OMG! I am speechless right now. What can you say that has not already been said? When I first learned about these forums a few years back, it was through a wrestling chat on MSN and one of the first people who instantly welcomed me was Dinobot. He made me laugh and we would chat seperately via messenger and he stood up for me when i was the new girl in Wrestlecrap territory. I can not believe this has happened but I know he is somewhere looking at us and wanting us not to cry over him but celebrate him and his life and I feel thats what we should do. So Dinobot, it was great knowing you in this life and in the next. May you rest in forever peace and say Hi to Dan and Tenta for us! We all love you!
Millie

Can someone show his sig, because I'm no good with names. RIP buddy. officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=dinobotbprimeThere is his profile. I have a really random question. A while back(can't remember exactly how long ago, but probably within the last 4 months), he had a sig and it was a poem/song, and it was something like "A poem that only I could have written" or something to that effect. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This is so sudden and so heartbreakingly sad.
My sympathies to the family.
May you rest in peace, Dinobot

I've only been posting on this board for a short time and in truth don't know many folks here. That said, I really enjoyed reading what Dinobot had to say. He was one of the about 50 or so posters I recognized. Dinobot will be missed. He always brought a rationality to these boards, never too wordy but always saying exactly what needed to be said. He made this place better to be sure.
RIP

I remember Dinobot all the way back from the original board. He was always funny, intelligent, and had some of the best things to say. This has hit me hard, and I am still at a loss for words. My condolences go out to his family, and I am sorry that this place lost another great guy.

I just logged on today at work to find this. My heart just fell into the pit of my stomach.
I'm friendly with a bunch of you, but very few have I ever considered like family. Dino was and always will be family. He walked to the beat of his own drummer, which I admire and respect.
I'm just so stricken with grief right now...I wish I could have told him how much he really meant to me.
Goodbye and may you always look over us brother.
