Its so nice to see the love guys. If you see anyone on your IM that you havent talked to in years but used to talk to on this or another site where Mike might have been involved in send them on over. Vidman sent me his...i know him and mike had their issues, but that is long forgoton and even foolish now under such times.

RIP bro, you really were an honored internet legend!

So sad to hear this.
I wasn't as close to Mike as some of you, but I sure do feel the pain..
As other have said it takes a while to accept that this is real.
Still can't really believe it..
Rest in peace Mike.. WE all love ya..

Unfortunately I didnt get to know Mike as well as most of you guys did but from reading this he was a great guy. Tony brought me to PCA and very glad he did. It saddens me to know that the creator of this great "hangout" is gone. His family is in my prayers.

This really sucks, I just read this through the "future of PCA thread".

RIP Mike, you will be missed :(

I just got the news.. so much time has passed...

I'm just completely shocked, I haven't been on the forums for a long time, but there are many good people I still consider friends on here. Blade was quite simply put, awesome. It's with great sadness that I write this, and I know you all feel the same way.

I'll miss seeing that monkey face :(

I knew Blade from way back during the AGN days. Very sorry to hear he has passed. He was a good man, who stepped up to give us all a home.

I havent logged in for months, and just learned of this news today. :(

I never knew blade personally but will always remember his kindness on these forums. When I had bit of a Heatware issue years ago, he was very quick to step up and help me remedy the situation.

Oh my.... ...wow. Last time I posted or really lurked was back in March. It's amazing that we can all agree on one thing--he was such a nice fellow.


You will be remembered, Mike.

I haven't been around in ages because my motorcycle hobby has taken the place of my PC building fetish but this is truly sad to learn.Mike was a A+ guy in every way.He went above and beyond what was asked of him to try and keep the people from the old AGN3D forums together.
