│ All things must come to an end, whether they │
│ deserve it or not. │
│ │
│ Today (06.02.06) we at the ShadowCast crew │
│ recieved tragic news: │
Ì▀▀▀▀▀│▀ ▀│▀▀▀▀▀¦
Ì ¦
Ì My name is PraioS, I was the founder of ShadowCast together with ¦
Ì 0bjectMa$$, before Lord_Anubis took it over and made it to one of the ¦
Ì best ed2k-teams for games out there. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì The reason I am emailing you is because you are (or were) one of the ¦
Ì best friends of Lord_Anubis, and you did know him well. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì It is with great sadness that I am emailing you now on this day. I ¦
Ì received word that Lord_Anubis was involved in an accident on Sunday, ¦
Ì the 5th of February in the late evening. While I do not want to go into ¦
Ì the accident itself (rest assured when I say Lord_Anubis was hit by a ¦
Ì car, and that he was dead instantly and did - hopefully - not feel too ¦
Ì much pain), I would like to speak to you about who Lord_Anubis was. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì ¦
Ì Lord_Anubis was a young and energetic man who lived with cancer cells in ¦
Ì his body since the age of 16 due to an accident. Ever since he realised ¦
Ì his short life-span to come he has been working hard on not only getting ¦
Ì to grips with his fate, but also on giving other people with similar ¦
Ì illnesses or defects a better time by working as a volunteer in ¦
Ì hospitals in the area he lived in as well as in the country he studied. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì His step into the ed2k-scene by building up ShadowCast (which was not an ¦
Ì ed2k-group before that) as well as his reputation in forums and ¦
Ì communities made him and the crew very popular in a short time. Thanks ¦
Ì to contacts in other p2p-circles he was able to provide games fast to ¦
Ì the communities. He then gained recognition on other forum where he ¦
Ì finally became a staff member or even administrator or manager. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì Lord_Anubis loved the work in the communities, especially ¦
Ì Fucktheinter.net, ed2k-it, ShareConnector, DrunkenDonkey, ShareTheFiles ¦
Ì and many other sites out there, and his passion for improving the sites ¦
Ì and keeping them alive will hopefully long be felt. He had many ¦
Ì aspirations and ideas for the sites, alas it is too late now for him to ¦
Ì see the changes... ¦
Ì ¦
Ì Despite his illness he was a strong person and a good friend to hang out ¦
Ì with or to just chat about literally anything you wanted, he was a calm ¦
Ì person who never lost focus of what was important to him, not even when ¦
Ì he was angered or annoyed at someone. He has inspired a lot of people, ¦
Ì not only in the ed2k-communities but also in real life, and his ¦
Ì tremendous effort in not only paying his own rent and living expenses, ¦
Ì but also his father's and his sister's, should have at least awarded him ¦
Ì a medal of some sort. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì He had just managed to found his own design agency, which will be now ¦
Ì taken over by one of his colleagues, and I do hope that it will persist ¦
Ì for a long while still. ¦
Ì ¦
Ì Lord_Anubis left the world too soon, too soon for anyone of us to say ¦
Ì one last "thank you" for his work he did, too soon to make final ¦
Ì arrangements for his family and friends, and as such both me and ¦
Ì ObjectMa$$ will make sure that this will be catered for in the future. ¦
Ì ¦

│ │
│ This is not a joke! A friend of ours, and │
│ a legend in ed2k has passed away. │
│ Our condolences go to his family and friends. │
│ No words can describe this tragic event. │
│ I am speechless, as im sure most of us are. │
│ │
│ --- │
│ │
│ │
│ I am sorry to inform you, but we at ShadowCast │
│ will no longer be releasing. │
│ Lord_Anubis was the heart and soul of this │
│ group, and as you might have noticed, we │
│ havent done much the last 2 months. │
│ We have all been busy with real life, and │
│ we never felt we got enough appreciation │
│ for several years of hard work for ed2k. │
│ And with Lord_Anubis absence, nothing will │
│ ever be as it used to be. │
