SPECIAL REQUEST

[OHM]

In light of the recent news regarding Ram/Grape's death Sloth and I are collecting "testimonials" so-to-speak on how Grape has helped you either directly or indirectly through the community/movement he founded way back when, in order to compile them into something of note for his family to show them how big of an impact he made on so many us.

Please take a few moments out of your day this weekend to write something up and send it to me either here or at my email: [e-mail]. We look to send this to his family by the end of this weekend so please don't put it off.

With how much this community has been able to provide I would hope that each of you are able to give back in this regard.

Please include just your first name with your writing.

You can also include your words below, and I'll take them from there.


EVEN IF YOU NEVER MET GRAPE

Please write something about how this community has helped you. It's all the same in that regard.

edit: misread the thread and thought it was referring to Sloth. I haven't been around long enough to have read most of grape's posts it seems, sorry

lol @ the last time he was online was 8 days before I joined

If that's the case, then please write something about how this community has had an impact on you. Grape paved the way for Sloth and I to follow. So if you ever read anything we wrote, it was inspired by him.

Yeah, like a wheel snapped off the axle of a truck and went through his front windshield.

damn, I write slow as fuck. I'll continue tomorrow, and hopefully I can get my message through in words. But this means a lot to me because of how HSG introduced me to personal development, which has been lifechanging to say the least


The community that (grape) created has impacted my life on a lifelong scale. It's hard to express my gratitude in words;  but, nonetheless, I want you to realize how much he has contributed to my, and many others', personal growth... Every high school teen's goal is to
(personal note to self- include how much experiences with girls, etc. mean to a teen)

I didn't know Grape and I wasn't around when he was but he is impacted everyone and including me in a huge way. Many come here just to learn how to get good with girls but I have learned so many lessons beyond that on how to become a man just reading his articles. His words help me become the man I wanted myself to be and I will be forever in his debt because of this. I don't know what kind person grape was or what he's done in his life but by creating the site is helped many many people all across the world to fill their goals. Grape and his family are in my thoughts and he will be remembered.

It's sad to get this kind of news. Grape was the founder of this forum. For me, this forum was definitely important. It has given support and help to THOUSANDS teen guys not only struggling with dating but with life as well impacting them and me in a positive way. It is even more astounding to think about the men that have received help from this forum and made the full transformation from someone that is introverted and has low self esteem to a confident guy that is fearless. These new and evolved guys go out into the world and make an impact in amazing way affecting their thousands of people in a positive light. I know because I am one of them.

Thanks Grape <33 RIP

That's...not what I was expecting to read when I came here today. Damn, you know, when a guy stops coming to a website of any kind, it's anyone's guess as to what happened to him, but when you actually get news like this, the reality of the situation is really fucking shocking, to say the least.


I found this forum by purely lucking out on a Google search. To know there are guys out there like Grape that went through similar things as me is one thing, but to have the drive to actually try to do something about it on your own, and not only that, but use what you've learned by yourself, through trial and error, to help everyone else have even a slightly easier time ending their own difficulties, whether it be girls or just self-esteem in general, that's something I can't even commend with enough words. A lot of people would find it too hard to pick themselves up, but Grape not only did it by himself but paved a way for everyone else to do the same; all in this website. Unfortunately I'll never be able to speak to him, but the words he left behind were powerful enough to inspire for years, and they'll continue to do that while I'm here, and long after we're all gone.

I'm not sure if this is late or not but fuck it, it's worth it. Also, cut out everything in this post besides the middle, in case there's confusion.

When I first found this forum that Grape started, I was a junior in high school, unsure of himself and what exactly he wanted to do in this world. Two years later, I can say that in large part because of this forum, I have a much clearer sense of who I am and what I want to accomplish. I have learned to see past the trivial aspects of life that some people who don't have guidance are consumed by and focus my energies on what is truly important and what will make me genuinely happy in the long run. I am capable of making my own decisions now based on my personal set of values and live the life that I choose for myself whereas I simply went with the flow of what everyone else was doing before. I am nowhere done improving myself, but I have come a long ways since I made aware of the power of self-improvement by this forum Ram created. Ram was able to unite a community under a common high school interest of getting girls and use it as an instrument to help us transform our lives in a much larger sense, teaching us to strive for our passions and our goals through working hard and conquering our fears. Yes, this forum is about helping guys in high school and college become better with girls, but I have gotten so much more out of it. It is a shame that I have never spoken to Ram and sadly never will, but I will forever be thankful to him for creating this website and touching my life and so many others alike. - Stanley

R.I.P Grape, I will never forget you - i could never forget you. Not after everything you did for us, that allowed us to grow and effect others in the same way.
