This afternoon, I was informed that Nemesis Scourge, webmaster to our original site "The Nerdsphere Network" had died last tuesday. He was 30.
The causse of death, as far as we can ascertain from the message I recieved, along with Nemmy's final tweets, was that he was suffering from case of severe chest infection, and he eventually succumbed to the illness. It was a surprise to his family, as nobody thought his illness was as severe as it was.
I first met Nemmy on the transformers.net site in 2005, but really got to know him in 2007. We became administrators on a couple of fan forums, and in 2009 I set up autobot city, the forum which eventually grew to become The Nerdsphere. Because technology has never been my friend, he stepped up and became our all-purpose tech, maintaining the blog, and all the social media attachments therein. He actually did too good a job: establishing a system that automatically posted podcast uploads onto the blog, which in turn posted in all social media sites and groups, so there was no need for a staff: it was all him, maintaining it all. Last year I left the site, but I made sure Nemmy's hard work was not in vain. He became the owner of the blog absolute, to do with as he pleased. Nemmy was also the reason I got into Kamen Rider: his posts on anime and tokusatsu as well as showing me places on where to download them (Like I said: I wasn't tech savvy) eventually led to me giving Kamen Rider Decade a try, and the rest is history on that chapter. When we ultimately decided to shut down the Nerdsphere last wednesday, we had no idea Nemmy had died, but my intention was to always keep the blog as a last testiment to the work we had done, as an archive to all the shows we did. It will stay up now as a dedication to his memory. He put the work into it, and I want people to visit, and remember it fondly. Hd also ran a blog called "The Discombulation of Nemesis Scourge" about his collecting, which you can find in the link below.He stopped it in 2012 to work on the Nerdsphere blog full time, but it's a peak into the mind of a man's collecting day-by-day adventures:

Here's the only known picture of Nemmy. He was notoriously shy, and only took part in one podcast via a pre-recorded one minute segment. But the work he did behind the scenes was above and beyond.
I'll miss you, Nems. And thank you.
