so claytron counts "dies" and his family just happens to update his vanity wikipedia entry?

I call "LOSER"

It's probably part of a hillbilly love triangle soap opera, or he owes somebody money.

I dunno - it made me kinda sad to hear he died - 34 is too young for anyone to go.

If he's pretending to be dead, that's pretty fucking lame.

If he's actually dead - that is pretty shitty. I mean, he was a complete and utter asshat of the highest order online but I didn't want the guy to drop dead. If he really is dead and this isn't some morally bankrupt publicity ploy, then my sympathies to his friends and family.

Incidentally, for those newbies or people who were living under a rock - Clayton entered out collective lives in this truly incredible thread. He posted under the name Claytron. He was a massive dick but he still contributed to the best thread of last year so I guess there's that.

I hope when I die that my parents make a point of photoshopping a photo of me with my date of death in a tasteful font, uploading it via FTP and shilling my upcoming projects in my death notice.

That would be so touching...

I am none-the-wiser as to whether or not he is dead.

Maybe you know?

What makes you think he isn't dead? His website says he is dead. Wikipedia does too. Am I missing something? Does he have some sort of history of faking his death?

He was (is?) a strange guy.

It does say in his obituary that he was a "prankster".

I am still unsure.

Seems a bit elaborate - but I don't blame you for being suspicious. Regardless, I came across this

In Other News, rumor has it that Clayton Counts has killed himself. Whether that is the case or not, and hopefully the latter, he has left selections from his double Lp sequel to the controversial Beachles album for us to peck at.

In his "obituary", observe, please, the following.

At his request, several of his friends will continue to update this blog semi-regularly.

compare that to:

Clayton had many close friends, and his passing comes as a shock to all who knew him.

It doesn't take Matlock to figure this one out.

So, what you are saying is that you don't know.
