Oh my God, this is terrible news ! He seemed to be a true expert on the subject. He knew a lot about VHDs, too. I talked to him about him once So sad. May I ask how old he was ? May he still watch Laserdiscs in heaven !

What sad news. I never knew the man personally but reading his posts here over the last few years it was clear he was an unparalleled authority on laserdiscs, especially the early years of the format. But more than that he always came across as a really decent guy and would always take time to answer questions and share knowledge with anyone who'd ask. He will be sorely missed. admin wrote: Very sad day indeed.
I validated all his updates and will let his account get automatically removed after 380 days. His last login was 26 days ago.
All his forum posts will remain under "guest" when the account is finally removed.
Julien Would there be any way to keep his posts displaying under his name after 380 days? I understand it's against the way the forum works but DiscLord was exceptional, I'd often find myself searching for post specifically by him.

Ty's online contributions are more-or-less his legacy. " guest" didn't write those posts, " disclord" did. I think his case is exceptional enough to merit special treatment.

I agree it would seem the least we could do as a memorial to disclord so his legacy lives on. Perhaps a dedicated section called 'Disclord Legacy' where all the key posts can be archived for all to see.

yes, he was a very valuable source of LD info, one of the best. is there a way to keep him locked and his topics without removal or is this just in the program. I really hope there is a way to keep his name to the topics that he contributed to. ________________________________ the rein-o official signature:

I understand it's against the way the forum works but DiscLord was exceptional, I'd often find myself searching for post specifically by him. ^I agree this should be achieved and saved. I spoke to Ty, several times last year summertime 2013, via (Skype on webcam) when he was admitted to hospital for diabetes and looked a bit frail but still cheery with a sense of humor. I sent LDDB pm several times and before was it early this year he had break-up with his boyfriend and was in slow process of moving. Bummer what a lousy year for him. I was only thinking last week if Ty, was okay and the moving was going okay as I checked his last log-In that was last month and he told me last pm that he would back on soon as possible when the move back home gone smoothly or something like that? He's family will miss him his closest friends are going to miss him. quadraphonic forum and many more forums will miss him, LDDB is going (I'm slowly sobbing and tearing up here) will gong to miss and I'm going to miss him and talking face to face and hearing the voice of the individual is a lot different than reading text of words. R.I.P. Ty, the lord of disc, disclord.

Yes, sad indeed when I heard the news late Thursday evening and was lost for words to say about Ty. We have last spoken over the phone in May and early June and he told me himself he was having a lot of up and downs and I knew by his voice. Ty always liked the fact when I referred him as the Walking LD Encyclopedia when he would call. I always liked the the fact that he was never bias towards anyone in this hobby and respected everyone for who they were. TY never asked for anything within reach or out of reach as be just wanted to be acknowledged in this hobby. I will miss the good talks with him and the not so good(depressed conversations) with Ty. R.I.P my friend Ty, Duane W Cummins

His profile now says the user entry no longer exists, so maybe Julian's already fixed it. I just saved off all his posts, just in case. Good stuff, and a good memorial. This is the link to start: http://forum.lddb.com/search.php?st=0&s ... lord&ch=-1

The least thing we could do to respect him and to honor his work and support for all the members.
