How do we get in contact with someone close to DJ Omnimaga (family-wise, perhaps) to let them know that he may be trying to hurt himself real soon? Even local law enforcement might be in order here.

I think he's here, between 1430?1460 Avenue De Guyenne, Quebec:



The nearest police station:

1035 CHEMIN DU SAULT
SAINT-ROMUALD, QC G6W 5M6, Canada
(418) 839-1102

I think our best bet right now is to try to contact his local police right now, and then try to get him online. If he's active online, the worst hasn't come yet.

whoa what's going on?

Post by: simplethinker on November 26, 2007, 03:15:00 am

I'm not sure but yesterday morning when I tried to get on I found this message:
"Board has been shut down until a new admin is found. Admin must:
-Be fluent in english
-Not alerady own another TI website
-Be active in the community."
I PMed him about it at UTI and didn't get a response.  I tried getting on her later in the day and the message didn't shwo up, but I didn't find anything on the forums here explaining what might have happened.

[edit] I was looking through the http://omnimaga.org/index.php?showtopic=72 page here and it says that Steve Ouellet was on the programming team from '02-'03.  I can't find him in the member list.  If anybody knows how to reach him, or if you can find his username somewhere we might be able to email him.  The last name is the same so I'm thinking maybe Kevin's brother.

I was talking to him in PM earlier about a problem with the site, and he mentioned something about not coming back. (though he didn't elaborate on why)

Is he going through some personal issues at the moment? I'm afraid I don't know him personally.

Well, I hope he's okay and the situation is just being exaggerated, or something. Maybe he's just dealing with a stressful situation right now and needs some time off.

Title: Intervention
Post by: simplethinker on November 26, 2007, 03:43:00 am

I don't think the situation is exaggerated.  Lately he's been very easy to upset, and he's been talking about leaving the community and he's been getting more and more serious about it.  This has been going on for a while.

I hope He is ok.
ANd contact the police THey probaly could get there fastest.
THen contact family also.

Post by: Spellshaper on November 26, 2007, 04:18:00 am

I do hope he'll be back.
He's just emotional and takes things very serious, maybe a bit too serious :(
I'll try to be online as much as possible to snatch up any sign of him, anywhere. I'm really worried about him. :(

Title: Intervention
Post by: Zera on November 26, 2007, 04:36:00 am

He seemed fairly calm the last time I heard from him. (just earlier today -- a few hours ago)

I want to say "don't jump to conclusions," but I don't know anything about the situation. Apparently, Weregoose does? It might be kind of weird to have the police show up at his door if nothing were seriously wrong.

Like Spellshaper said, some people are more sensitive about things than others. I know I tend to go on a whole "verging personal Nihilism" trip any time something tends to go wrong, and it gives other people the wrong impression about how serious it is. Could this be similarly exaggerated?

Title: Intervention
Post by: lordofthegeeks on November 26, 2007, 05:20:00 am

@grendal: I hope So

But the Police Showing up at your door is not A bad thing. I have had it happen before. Of course it was cause the were looking for a thief that had run away from them and headed our way.
THte worst that can happen from the police showing up Is a Aquward situation And if the situiation is a serius as Weregoose Makes it out to be they could save His life.

Title: Intervention
Post by: dinhotheone on November 26, 2007, 09:50:00 am

i would say that the safest thing would be to contact the family, that way no police will show up or anything. but then i remember his family had been part of the problem, he and his mother had not been getting along, im not sure how that would go down if thats the main problem here as well. I assume that since no situacional updates have occured that no one contacted anyone (aside from whats posted) assuming thats the case, why would weregoose post the contact information instead of contacting the authorities himself. I would very muc like to hear from weregoose again to see whats up. I dont like to underestimate a situacion, but i just doesnt seem right. None (very few) of us here have any clue what is going on, why would the information be posted for us? again, weregoose i would like to hear whats up.

@LOTG, none of us know the situation excepting weregoose and maybe grendale, but mainly weregoose as he is the one that innitiated this topic. imagine if 5 people here @ omnimaga called the police, i think it would go down alot harder than an awkward moment. plus, it wil not be an awkward moment, they arent gona go "you okay?" then leave, assuming he is a danger to himself, his parents will be notified and an officer will probably be forced to stay with him.

Where I am We have something called Suicide watch. Anybody close to the person can call it. It's goal is to prevent the person from comminting harm to themselves. I would call the police myself but we have out of country calling blocked.

He sent me this last night:

QUOTE

... So this message is to tell you that I will not be coming back, and that there will be no more trace of me in real life anymore either, because I had enough. I am sorry for leaving you all, you were my only friends and the only people who kept me up, but i am just suffering inside and making everyone suffer by my actions that are mostly caused by real life problems. Before I go I wish you good luck in your future projects and I hope you do better than how I did. You are a nice person and things should be more fair for yourself. ...

If he isn't on by tonight, I will be attempting to come in contact with him/family/police. I'll be on IRC all night, if anyone wants to talk to me about this.

Edit: It appears Super Speler has contacted him(over an IM program, not over a phone.)

Post by: Zera on November 26, 2007, 11:55:00 am

Well, I sent him a PM letting him know he can get in touch with me if he wants someone to talk to. Beyond that, I have no idea how to contact him. I'm glad a couple of other members managed, though. Maybe you guys can help him sort things out. Let's hope for the best.

I think the best thing we can do now is to pray for him.  Anybody out there who sees this post, please pray for his safety.

Post by: JonimusPrime on November 26, 2007, 04:24:00 pm

I surely will I have talked to him before when he was into one of his moods and I just hope he didn't try to go through with it. He always said not right now but if things don't change...  
lets all hope he is ok :(

The fact that he is still making some contact is something to be very thankful for.  I have asked my family and the freinds that I could reach to pray for him.  DJ, if you are reading this know that we all care about you and would be crushed if anything were to happen to you.
Once again, please, pray for him.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 27, 2007, 07:55:00 am

I am sorry for making you worried guys...

actually you are very lucky that I'm still here today, because yesterday morning my brother was sick and didn't go to work. Him not at home would have let me act, but since he was here I would not have been able to do it, and I started feeling a little better during night, altough still not good, just ok to reconsider.

I will not be part of the skype convo thing today, because I will be at work until 10:15 PM GMT-5, so it will most likely have started long before I come back. I may be on MSN/AIM/ICQ a few times at night though. At the moment I'm trying to not think about all the problems with music producing, but not feeling very good I may not be active on the forums for a few days, except for uploading new songs or old ones. I don't think I will ever put the feet back on IRC again, because there are people here I will not name that don't seem to have a heart and I would prefer to avoid them from now on. #omnimaga is no longer under my management since September 2nd, altough I still had operator privileges here until Sunday night. I may reconsider that decision too, but I don't feel like coming back right now.

Well, my offer is still up if you want to get in contact with me. Just hit me up on AIM sometime and maybe we can chat.

I can't say much else about your situation until I know what's going on. But if it's of any consolation, I generally am concerned and would like to help you sort through your situation.

i knew it went down on IRC, people just dont seem to know how to act on that. i know cemetech was having problems with people on IRC as well. hope you feel better Kev.
    Also i want to make one thing clear. you frequently almost leave from our community here because of one reason or another, often people are inconsiterate but htats not the point. If dealing with us and our community here adds to the problems you have elsewhere, i for one would encourage you to leave the community. it is obvious that you have about as much on your plate as you can chew. and anyone would only be selfish to ask you to stay when it is detrimental to your health as it seems to be. I just want to let you know that the people here who make your life miserable wont be affected one way another by your loss. but the people who arent jerks, would rather not have you in our community anymore, than have you in miserable health. This community will survive one way or another, and if it doesnt then its no big deal. dont put effort into this community to make it better, when such effort should be put toward your health. I cant speak for everyone in this next point but i do appreciate the effort you put into staying in this community. dont think that those efforts go unseen.
   Thanks, pardon my spelling, and stay/get healthy.

also my AIM is majesticle42, i will try to be on if i can.

 Although I am quite new to the community, I still feel it necessary to voice my own concern. Though, quite frankly, I have nothing more specific to add to that comment. Hopefully this phase of your life will pass and things will get better. Do what you think is best to help it pass...

Oh and, as I'm sure it says in my profile, my aim is Arglactable.

I agree with dinhotheone.  Although we would miss you very much, we care about your health so much more.  If you notice, the posts made were concern for you, not for the community.

This is Winter. The body naturally begins to shut down when it doesn't receive enough sun. On top of that, you may substitute sodas for juices, and work on opening oranges instead of bags of chips or Pop Tarts. When outside, run, don't walk. When anywhere, stretch your body every so often. These gimmicks are chemically uplifting.
