Dead Forum Users: Confirmed Deaths and Rumors in Spanish Economy Board

Dead Forum Users: Confirmed Deaths and Rumors in Spanish Economy Board

A colon cancer story told in real time, a suicide in 2019, a heart attack two years ago. In an economics forum with two decades of history, asking who stopped posting has become a parallel civil registry. The conversation starts with doubts about confirmed deaths versus rumors, quickly filling with names, dates, and causes. Some are verified by relatives; others remain unconfirmed suspicions.

From Initial Doubt to Death Toll

The starting point is a direct question: which names are confirmed and which are speculation? The answer comes in cascades. Tiburcio de Medinasidonia appears as the best-documented case: he narrated his colon cancer treatment for years and died three or four years ago. Luisito, author of lengthy posts, died about two years ago; a relative explained this during the pandemic. Napoleon/Cronicón took his own life in 2019. MacGuyver died in 2015, with an official suicide explanation that left doubts. Cesard died from a heart-related issue.

The list expands with Corolaria, Karlos Smith, and El Promotor, honored in another section of the forum. Also McArrow, a woman in her sixties whose husband reported her death. And cepeda33, who announced his cancer, settled affairs for his son, and disappeared; his obituary appeared when searched. Don Pascual is listed with a disputed cause: some say ELbichito, others the vaccine.

Those Still Alive and Those Who Left Without Warning

Not everything is an obituary. The conversation includes clarifications: Plaster still posts regularly, just under a different identity. Jevitronka is not dead; he grew tired of an environment with serious harassers and psychopaths. atasco jokes about outliving everyone. And Blaster hasn't posted for half a year, fueling suspicion without confirmation.

The underlying problem is that absence doesn't distinguish between death and boredom. Anyone can abandon an account and never return. The only reliable proof is communication from a relative, as peine with McArrow or Luisito. The rest is conjecture.

The Forum as Archive of a Changed Spain

The conversation shifts to something larger: the forum as a witness to an era. For years it was a clash between those expecting the property bubble to burst and those denying any correction. The latter disappeared with the 2008-2012 crisis. Their argument was that the government wouldn't allow a crash. Time, with nuances, proved them right: savings bank losses were absorbed, a bad bank was created, supply froze, and interest rates were coordinated from Brussels. The arrival of five million immigrants since 2021, according to figures discussed, maintained demand.

This review feels like a generational reckoning. Debates on housing and future forecasts that once filled hundreds of posts now sound like another era. The lingering conclusion is uncomfortable: those mocking doomsayers were partly right, but for reasons no one predicted.

Pending Memorial and Antiestéticar of Drifting Away

A proposal emerges for a brick memorial, similar to the CIA's wall of stars, to remember those gone. The fundamental question is whether there's money for a decent burial. And a more unsettling one: if the forum administrator dies suddenly, will the rest be trapped on a ghost ship without a helmsman?

Someone asks that if this happens, it shouldn't occur during a test of a new experimental antiestéticature. Another promises to warn if they feel they're dying. It's dark humor, the same tone running through the entire conversation. Because the only shared certainty is that everyone is dead and doesn't know it yet.
