Hey everyone,

I hope you are all well. It has come to my attention of very sorrowing news.

HalfOfAKebab, many of you who also knew him by his real name Lewis, has unfortunately passed away last week in the early hours of November 12.

I share this news with you as many of you have interacted with Lewis. Lewis was ultimately the core reason how this community thrived the way it turned out. r/TeenGamingNights and its history goes long ways back, but it wasn't until more (relatively) recently in 2016 where Lewis took helm of the community and kept the community attended to without being dismantled altogether for good. Without Lewis, we would not be here today.

Lewis and I were part of the same moderator application period six years ago for the community that we derived from and both were part of, the r/teenagers community. Ultimately the r/teenagers Discord server would not have been made without his help in persuading the creation of the community when the subject was brought up years ago. For that alone, I could not be more thankful as we know how much these communities have shaped our time and the friendships that it has fostered. Lewis put a substantial amount of time into the community, let alone handling the atrocity that is regular expressions for the AutoModerator configuration and all spam filters. I still have no idea how regex works and whenever I think of it, I genuinely do think and thank of Lewis and his accuracy with it. He had tremendous involvement in where we grew today.

As we continue on and from time-to-time rejoice at the memories that encompasses from these communities we were part of, please remember to remember the human behind those display names you have interacted with and the experiences that came with it.

If you would like to participate in Lewis' Minecraft game archive Discord community and join the grieving and celebration of life, please follow through to Omniarchive.
