FUCK. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
I started talking to Coolio on Bluelight around 2005 on Bluelight IRC. We were never really close but we talked often, we weren't great friends but we were definitely friendly acquaintances. We also shot each other PM's often. For awhile we even ran a little business together on another message board. This made me terribly sad, but then I started to read this thread...
I never realized Coolio on Bluelight was the same EFNet Coolio who got blamed for the Mafiaboy DDoS attacks that went down in 2000 and got arrested for the RSA hack and DARE defacing. I knew *that* Coolio since 1996! I went by a different nick on IRC back in the day than I use on Bluelight now. We hung out in virtually all the same channels and had literally dozens of mutual friends as we ran in almost the exact same circles. We spend literally thousands of hours bullshitting with each other on EFNet in the late 90's and early 2000's.
This completely blows my mind. Such a fucking loss.
I wish my drug addled mind had been able to put two and two together and realized that we were actually very close back in the day, how the fuck did neither of us ever realize who each other were?
This is shitty on so many levels. I literally grew up with Coolio, I first started chatting with him when I was 12 years old and I am 29 now. Fuck me
WTF
RIP man. I hope you have found the comfort in death that you searched for your entire life.
My condolences to your family.
This is the first time I remember crying in years.
