Mark Metson, known as MarkM/Knotwork on the forum, has passed away

[DaveF]

Found this on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ESSNS/posts/25404731089177644
But not much else about what happened
Did not have a lot of contact with him, but what I did was pleasant.
He started working with an old alt coin I have been playing with on and off for years.

Really knew his stuff. Would take the time to explain things to people if they asked.

RIP

-Dave

They say the good ones leave first, and MarkM clearly confirms that. I didn't have the opportunity to communicate with him (as far as I remember), but from what other members write, he was great at what he did and will be missed by many.

Condolences to his family and friends and may he rest in peace.

Like some other deserving members, maybe his profile could get a custom title "In memoriam"

You don't communicate with him and yet you said the good ones leave first, then you are aware that this person is a good one, this is the type of expression that gets me pissed and emotional at times .

Hello how are you doing? I just want to check on you

This is more than enough, there is no point talking after they are no more, it's just sad 😭😭.
If you know that someone has a good soul please let's start checking on them, it's important.

I don't know what your problem is, but I, like many others, have expressed my condolences to those who knew him. The man is gone, and you write this kind of nonsense for one more campaign post.

Another day to remind us that we're only a passer-by in this World - always do good and stand for the truth, tomorrow is not promised. Sad to hear about another forum user passing. Rest well, Mr. Mark.

Surely, we are all strangers here in this world who would all leave one day. What becomes so painful is that you will never get to hear from them or see them anymore till time indefinite. It becomes more sad when you have a good relationship with the person, and its just so painful. It's just best if we live everyday of our lives as if it were out last days on this planet Earth. Rest on and may his soul rest in perfect peace.

RIP MarkM.
I just lurk here now and I've avoided posting anything for years but I had to offer my condolences to his family and friends.
I only talked to him a few times when he tried to explain how his Galactic Milieu game worked, but he seemed like a good guy that avoided all the bullshit, pettiness and backbiting this site turned in to.
RIP Mark.

Very sad news.
He was an OG, great guy and always eager to share his knowledge and ideas.

RIP MarkM, my condolences to his family and friends.

Ya, the problem was that when he explained something it was so technical that you usually had to find someone to explain his explanation to you.  I think I could have benefitted from the availability of AI back in the day when we were talking about building projects.  While we didn't have a ton of communication, his name stuck with me as one of those guys you pay attention to when they post something because they were clearly on another level with technical understanding.
