Remembering a Friend...

 

Not too long ago, I logged onto there.com and began browsing the event schedule. I was shocked to see a buggy event listed as a tribute to Lars_lars, who had passed away in early November 2025. I do not know the details of his passing, but what I and everyone else in this world do know is he was taken from us much too soon.

In one of my last chats with Lars, we discussed the resurgence of there.com this past May and summer. We talked about the influx of new people, some of whom stayed on and others who were mostly virtual tourists passing by. In the comments section of Glob's massively popular Youtube video, Lars expressed thanks to him for rejuvenating our world.

 

In 2018, some friends and I decided to attend a prom event on there. We were supposed to be a group of three couples, but my friend Phebe's date was unfortunately a no-show. I felt bad for Phebe since it was shaping up to be a fun-filled night, and her date had pretty much ruined the event for her.

In a stroke of good fortune, a young man wearing a suit and bunny ears showed up and happily agreed to accompany Phebe for the evening. I was really impressed with Lars for doing that, and our group danced and partied late into the evening. Thanks for the memories and positive vibes, Lars.

 

Lars_Lars here. Thank you, Globert for bringing our childhood game back to life, the way you have. We are eternally grateful for what you have done for our game. We have lost so many people over the years, and it is what it is... But THANK YOU.
