Posted April 15, 20169 yr It has come to my attention that a dear friend has passed. Luciano was a key contributing member to the Britney forum, being one of my first co mods over 9 years ago and ultimately one of my closest friends on this site. He was a part of this community all the way back to coolclarity and was my partner in crime when it came to building this very forum and without him it wouldn't be half of what it is. I am shocked and saddened of his passing and really don't have much to add except for reiterating how important he was to not only this forum but as a friend. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP Luciano. Edited April 15, 20169 yr by ToxicAir
April 15, 20169 yr One of the first people to make me feel welcome to the forum. Such a great presence and aura in general. He really was an asset to this site and particularly this and The Killers AF's. Really saddened and upset by this. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. R.I.P. Luciano. :heart: THANK YOU for everything.
April 15, 20169 yr This forum really won't be the same without him, I'm going to miss his contributions a lot. He was one of those faces that was always nice to see in a topic, and he could always cut right through the bullshit. Still so sad over it, rest in peace Luciano :(
April 15, 20169 yr I'm in shock right now. I dont know many BJ users, but since I visit the Britney forum a lot, Luciano is a name that I recognize instantly. Always posting updates, being a positive person, very polite. Really shocked by this. RIP online friend.
April 16, 20169 yr i'm in shock. me and luciano never interacted hugely other than this forum but those interactions were always so genuine and good. he broke the mould in terms of the common perception of a 'stan' and he always brought such a gentle energy to this forum. i too remember him back from the coolclarity days some 12 years ago...he was always a consistently nice human being who shared a passion for his favourite music artist in the most decent of manners. i may have only known him as moderator of this forum but he never ceased, in the past ten years, from doing the best and most diligent of jobs; and on a more personal level, he helped rekindle my love of britney at the most random moments of my life. i wouldn't hold britney so close in my heart without his input. it just highlights how a fleeting and occasional individual on a forum you frequent from time to time can have a wonderful and lasting impact on you as a person. i don't feel any of what i said does him any justice but if that's the impact he could have as a britney moderator on this most random of forums, i can only imagine the joy and happiness he brought the friends and family in his day-to-day life. life is so short and so so precious. rip x http://www.heybritney.com/noticias/data/upimages/384873_2541424768926_1052905981_2952560_1243662177_n.jpg

The last paragraph really sends it home. It's hard to believe what his family is even experiencing. :( Edited April 16, 20169 yr by Tyler
September 19, 20168 yr Author I thought of you tonight. Saw the Killers live and was immediately reminded of you and what a fantastic man you were. Thank you for being my friend.
May 26, 20178 yr I just saw on the homepage that it was his birthday today. I can't believe he was just 4 days younger than I am. :o Nonetheless I do remember him fondly and his love and knowledge of Now That's What I Call Music. RIP.
