I thought the news that he has died in March 2010 deserved its own thread since Unkamunka had been such a huge part of this site.

I had a few exchanges with him regarding his bbwin_mod, his work on plugins, the art of creating styles, and other things. He was always extremely helpful and patient, and it really is a shame that we have lost him.

Farewell, Unkamunka.

Oh dear, that's very sad news

I never knew unkamunka, but sensed from his posts in this forum that he seemed very passionate about this project, and probably with little reward apart from the knowledge that a lot of people appreciated his efforts. To me that passion tells the story of someone who's willing to spend a lot of time and effort to help others, which is probably the best time and effort any human can spend.

People like unkamunka certainly represents the best of the world of Open Source Software.

I hope he got feedback enough to know that his work was appreciated. My condolences go to his family, you have every reason to be proud of unkamunka.

Rest in Peace.

He was incredibly hard working, as an admin and a developer, and apparently was the same on other forums and with other projects. I considered him a good friend, though I didn't know him too well. He's missed around here.

You've said everything.

He was a driving force and a friend. He will be greatly missed.

Really sad

This is terrible news. I can't profess to have known him too well but I really appreciated all the work he did for this community.

What a very sad thing to read about, I wonder how old he was? I am using BB4win mod at the moment thanks to his work. How very sad
