A god damn tragedy. I was really close with CM for a few years, we used to talk constantly on MSN about everything from music to love, he used to always come to me seeking advice on his personal life and I always felt a connection to the kid almost like I was trying to help guide him away from some of the stupid mistakes I myself had made at his age that I saw him going towards.
All you need to know about CM is that he was a damn good man who cared very deeply about those he loved as well as this forum which was a big part of his life for a short while. One of the oldest kind of "in-jokes" among staff for years now has been that no one was more efficient and quick to clean up these forums than CM, I believe he still holds the record for most posts deleted/infractions handed out in a 24 hour period. As Will once said, CM was more reliable than the economy he was so efficient as a moderator.
Alot of our newer users probably won't know him very well if at all, but he was one of the guys that helped mold this place into what it is today. He was a damn good guy that I feel privileged to have known and I only wish I had reached out to him more over the past few months, I should have tried to do something, anything to try and make sure this didn't happen, but you can't turn back time unfortunately.
Details are being kept private on how he passed as per the request of his brother, so please respect those wishes.
Rest in Peace CM, you were a great guy.
