This is Qwinn's brother. He had a massive stroke in December and passed away early Christmas morning. We had him cremated early January. Sorry for the delay but posting this was not a priority of our family.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your brother was a respected modder who brought many people joy by perfecting something they cared about. We are grateful.

I really hope this is some kind of sick joke... If it isn't, then, what can I say... Qwinn was a friend. I'm sorry for your loss. Our loss.

Damn, if this is death-trolling we've reached a new low.

I refuse to trust in it.

If it is the truth I show the condolences to his family and relatives.

Here's proof:

Remember how I mentioned that I fixed up an older game called Planescape: Torment?In the last couple months I've also released a fixpack for a much newer game called Dragon Age: Origins. If you have it, thought you might like to know about this. This fixpack fixes a whole messload of bugs in it.


Qwinn's last post in that forum was dated 2 days ago from now, so this topic is a rather macabre display of bad taste.

This 'joke' is in extremely poor taste.

But also what we're doing is simply feeding the troll...

and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.

So pleased to hear the news is not true. Was shocked when i opened this post.

If this is indeed some sort of joke, i honestly cannot understand how anyone could post such a thing.

What the heck? Qwinn dropped modding and went into politics? <_<

I think he's always been into politics. Such topics was just never well supported (if at all) here or, likely, elsewhere in the modding community.

Quinn hasn't been around here in quite a while, though, so I find it kind of odd people still need to bring him up in this sort of fashion.
