Heres the wikipedia goon suicide if I remember right:

FYAD had a wikipedia vandalism contest where all the edits were supposed to be sent via PM so no-one could see what pages were edited. The contest went on for ages, it could have been like a whole year. I think at some point they became aware that the wikipedia goon was furiously lurking FYAD to try and find what pages had been edited but it was only ever talked about like "My edit is still up wow its been 6 months". I dont think there was ever a winner so for all anyone knows FYAD didnt even edit wikipedia, they just made some dude insane thinking that they were.

Anyway eventually he killed himself and they vandalised his wikipedia memorial page by saying he died by a shotgun to the anus.

To be precise there was no memorial page when they edited his page to say he died from shooting himself in the anus. He was still alive then and nobody knew he was ty peppar except AFF they just thought he was some anonymous lurker punk loving up the vandalization contest. Nobody knew the full scope of what happened until weeks later lmfao

I think that was more over how he was being villified and hounded by prosecutors who were acting like they caught the leader of a massive child porn ring instead of a guy who thought it'd be cool if you didn't have to pay hundreds/thousands of dollars to access interesting science articles

Yea it sucks but he was already insanely mentally ill and blogged about killing himself for losing jobs in the past.
