2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: I respect him and all he did. Respect doesn't have to die with the one recieving the respect ;) And that was the point I was trying to make when Shotoken posted her comment

2006-09-04 [Linn Scarlett]: *shrugs* we all didn't expect this animal --- we all didn't expect him to die at all. He would sometime, and I was profoundly sure it would be one of the animals he held so dear that would do it, but he chose to take that risk.

2006-09-04 [Linn Scarlett]: And that's why I admire him

2006-09-04 [Ramirez]: Oh dear, -pats his hands in the air- Everyone, down with the pitchforks and let us hug and make up, yes? The particular cause of death for Mr. Irwin is tragic no matter how it occured, so respecting that this is a sensitive subject to many people, I request that the matter is dropped. What's done is done.

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: Alright, now. This wiki was made to pay respect to Mr. Irwin. Not argue over who said what about anything, or call people names. I'm not saying I'm innocent, I think I actually started it, And I'm sorry. Let's talk about all The GOOD things he did with his life

2006-09-04 [Yami]: he was a great man and it took alot of braveery to do what he did I envy him alot

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: What [Ramirez] said...Some of us type faster than others.

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I agree as well *hug*

2006-09-04 [Kileaiya]: I wonder if they will have a special day of his shows in his honor on the Animal Planet, that would be nice.

2006-09-04 [Erubeus]: -nod nod- Yes lets all listen to Sesshy sama... for he is wise -says last part sarcastically-

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: *hug* That IS a good idea! We should send a e-petition onto Animal Planet to do it!

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: What ^ they said! I'm all for it!

2006-09-04 [Kileaiya]: He did so much for the wildlife of Australia, and to educate others, he should be honored. September 4th will always be Steve Irwin day in my mind.

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: [Kileaiya], you should start an e-petition, and send it back to Animal Planet when we get alot of signatures!

2006-09-04 [Yami]: he was killed on the 2nd though I heard I think we could get on the site and swamp it with letters though ^-^

2006-09-04 [Erubeus]: No no yami he was killed on the 4th

2006-09-04 [Kileaiya]: I'm looking into starting an online petition. Though I don't think Animal Planet would need much prodding.

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: <--Doesn't pay attention to much
Indeed!...eh..Website? animalplanet.com? :S

2006-09-04 [Erubeus]: do it anyways

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I agree ^-^

2006-09-04 [Schob]: Irwin's "Crocodile Hunter" show aired on the company's Animal Planet network.

Cousteau's office issued a statement that he is "still in Australia with the family of his friend, Steve Irwin. It was a tragic ordeal for everyone on the boat that morning. All of our thoughts are now with Steve's family."

Discovery Communications said it will rename the garden space in front of Discovery's world headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, the "Steve Irwin Memorial Sensory Garden."

The company also is looking at the creation of a Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter Fund. The fund will support wildlife protection, education and conservation, as well as aid Irwin's Australia Zoo and provide educational support for Bindi and Bob Irwin, the company said.

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: i know where i can put this... there is a thing on CNN.com where you can put up your tributes to him

2006-09-04 [Elisha Kelly]: can I just state that the Venom of the stingray isn't toxic. It won't kill you like a snake bite would. It causes stinging and inflamation only. The only way it could kill you is if you had a reaction to it. Stingrays are beautiful creatures, (also good eating) that are very non agresssive usually. This truly was a freak accident, in that if the barb had gotten him anywhere else, he would most likely have lived.

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: Exactly.

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah, true, they are calm...

2006-09-04 [Yami]: yeah, like I said before there's only like 3 other cases of this to ever happen.

2006-09-04 [Kileaiya]: Well, there we go, a fitting tribute. Though a day of shows on Animal Planet would still be nice. :D

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Yeah, a 'Best of' 24 hour special!

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah

2006-09-04 [Elisha Kelly]: I would dare say that his latest footage out of Port Douglas will also be made into a documentary at sometime or other, depending how much of it he managed to film... I'd be looking to Bindii when she grows up, perhaps following in her fathers footsteps. (producing docos and the like)

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I hope a documentary will be made of him and air soon we'll all miss him

2006-09-04 [Yami]: wow, 63 people, when did this wiki start?

2006-09-04 [Sunrose]: Page version: 1 / 2006-09-04 15:27:18 ;)

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Damn, that's fast, imagine in the next few days O_O

2006-09-04 [pixish]: *spanks paul* This page is currently being edited by paul doyle and is not editable right now

2006-09-04 [Rock Thine World]: I heard that the Australian stingray barbs can grow up to 12 inches long... considering it went through his heart, he didn't really stand much chance of survival. Whenever a fisherman in the UK catches one (and we have tiny ones in comparison), they stamp their boot down on the tail, simply so they can't thrash the barb around.

2006-09-04 [Piercedskull]: Steve....;-;

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: cartiact arrest. Thats how he died

2006-09-04 [Yami]: wow, 65 now, this is amazing, we could easily swamp animal planet

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah

2006-09-04 [Rock Thine World]: 66... time to take over the TV station :P

2006-09-04 [Yami]: rock on! I bet if more people were on elftown they would join I wish everyone knew about elftown

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah...

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I can't wait to go to school I bet I get more people to join

2006-09-04 [Kelaria]: well not eeevvveerryyyone should join ET but all the people who fits on ET and would care about the community here... there's a lot of annoying stupid people out there >.<

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Wait, is there a way to get this places name on Mainstreet? Wait! If anyone here becomes a featured member in the future, mention this place!

2006-09-04 [Yami]: true, I agree with you on that like people who come here and have nothing on their discription

2006-09-04 [Kelaria]: It'll be a while before that happens most likely... but we might be able to get it on the main page :)

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: hmm

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: or nominate this wiki to the wiki nomination.....

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: ^ You are brilliant :)

2006-09-04 [Yami]: you think we have enough people?

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: cheshirecat13, Yeah, i've patrolled through the first several thousand members, and it seems like 68% (or so number like that) of them ain't here now.

2006-09-04 [Kileaiya]: If there were a contest to make a memorial image or some such, the contest could be featured on MS. :D

2006-09-04 [Yami]: that too hmmm, should we do a poll?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: thanx doom-el

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Anytime :) Yeah, POLL, POLL, POLL! (chant)

2006-09-04 [irulan]: I haven't been around TV, etc this weekend at all and just found out. *sniffle*

2006-09-04 [Forever Equine]: I heard from friends on dA and then I saw the headline on Yahoo.=(

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *offers shoulder to irulan*

2006-09-04 [Yami]: who wants to do it?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: my dad told me earlyer....

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: *hugs irulan*

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well he showed it... he wear reading some news on an internet news paper...

2006-09-04 [Forever Equine]: My friend, that I heard it from on dA, is really upset because she got to meet him in person before. It's such a shame but I'm sure that's how he wanted to go out.

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: yesterday in most of europe too.....

2006-09-04 [*(.Randi.)*]: didn't he die by a sting ray of somesort?

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah, the barb hit his heart and he died from cartiact arrest

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: only a year younger than mine...

2006-09-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: When ches?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: they do??

2006-09-04 [Forever Equine]: He's the same age as mine.=( I always thought that man was invincible so it's a bit of a slap in the face and makes me think of mortality.=/ I wanted to marry him until I was like 15, lol!

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: XD i wanted to do his job... something with animals, y'know?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i've always wanted to "play" with crocodiles.....

2006-09-04 [Saray]: *is still sulking* :(

2006-09-04 [*(.Randi.)*]: Yeah. but maybe not as dangerous

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: *hugs saray* who isn't...

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know that's why i did say that....

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: So true.

2006-09-04 [Mom]: Awww...the special on Animal Planet is showing the first time him and his wife met. *Heart breaks*

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: awwww

2006-09-04 [Yami]: *cries*

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: awwww

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i wish that i had animal planet.....

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I'm miss him alreay!

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i think that this is the fastest groing wiki i ever seen.....

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I agree

2006-09-04 [Yami]: 75 hits!

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah...

2006-09-04 [Byne]: Wow. I go away for a few hours and come back and WHAM! The number of people triples. Nice.

2006-09-04 [Dark Shiva]: 76 now!

2006-09-04 [Byne]: I'd please ask that people not write comments beside their names. And that they acctually read the page before they go and sign their name.

2006-09-04 [Dark Shiva]: Okay I'll take out what I put beside my name then

2006-09-04 [jsun]: removed my comment

2006-09-04 [Byne]: Thanks very much. I'd just like to keep this clean and simple. ^^; Not to be rude or anything. :x

2006-09-04 [jsun]: I say Bump this wiki to a "Mainstreet" spot. At least for a little while. Anyone else feel the same?

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: *raises hand*

2006-09-04 [Yami]: I agree whole heartedly!

2006-09-04 [jsun]: Nice image [Yami] :) clever and supportive

2006-09-04 [Byne]: That's be an awesome idea. How do we do that?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *rises both hands*

2006-09-04 [Byne]: Anyone? How doth we accomplish that? Pester Hedda?

2006-09-04 [Yami]: thank you [jsun] I hoped that it wouldn't offened anyone I thought it may look like I was making fun or something ^-^

2006-09-04 [Byne]: -Bounces.-

2006-09-04 [jsun]: Also I added your request on the wiki where it says "Sign your name after a number..." I figure it would've started back as soon as your comment got pushed out of the first page [Byne]

2006-09-04 [Yami]: *smiles*

2006-09-04 [Byne]: Thank you jsun. I'mma gonna have to start a page just for people to sign their names. o_o

2006-09-04 [jsun]: I'm pretty sure someone in a position like the mighty [Sunrose] could get the wiki on the "Main Street" :)

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: awwwwwwwww animal planet is having a tribute...

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's a good idea jsun and that's a good idea [Byne]...

2006-09-04 [Ramirez]: I don't think I'm following the number system, and I don't think others are either.

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: why do you say that??

2006-09-04 [shirono]: hey how do I get the turtle into my mood,....it won't fit.

2006-09-04 [Byne]: I realize that...

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: try to klick on the the text saying mood......

2006-09-04 [Piercedskull]: Steve...He was my child hood hero...

2006-09-04 [jsun]: use this link http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/upload_mood_image.html?n=1154172702 and then enter it there

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: same here...

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: really clever jsun.....

2006-09-04 [jsun]: :)

2006-09-04 [shirono]: aha! thanks...

2006-09-04 [jsun]: You're welcome, off to bed for me now Irwin fans. See you all later. Really nice of you all to show your support

2006-09-04 [Byne]: Night!

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i'm of to bed soon too...

2006-09-04 [shirono]: AHA! again
you can also right click, got to properties and use the alternate text and paste it to your mood....is that permissable.

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: night, jsun

2006-09-04 [Piercedskull]: *cries*

2006-09-04 [jsun]: wow, I just got out of bed to come back and write this because I just realized what you said [shirono]. The alternate text is what you see when you hover over the image. It's an Image tag yeah... that's what you have to put in your mood and yup that's the proper permissable way of doing it. K... back to bed... geez I'm a dork

2006-09-04 [Lady Neit]: O.o

2006-09-04 [Emo Saga]: man, I've been depressed all day because of this... I didn't know this wiki existed until [Yami] found me with my mood already set to his memory.

2006-09-04 [Ramirez]: -itches side of head-

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: night jsun

2006-09-04 [shirono]: Hey I figured something out, I feel smart.

2006-09-04 [Emo Saga]: -previous comment deleted- I see it, sorry...

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: ?

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: he/she3 moved it to the member list wiki

2006-09-04 [~Lady Morgana~]: Is dearly the right word, by the way? I was a bit confused.

2006-09-04 [Moving on in Life]: Well, I'd be upset, too if nobody told me :(

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: @__@

2006-09-04 [Fire-n-Ash]: *cries*

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *comforts lady faerion*

2006-09-04 [The Chronicles of Faelan]: wow amazing how news travels, I am surprised that the majority of the world knows. Oh by the way, I amde another one to link to this. R.I.P Steve Irwin if anyone wants to join =)

2006-09-04 [~Lady Morgana~]: ?

2006-09-04 [shotokan_gal]: I might point out, that that copying the image tag into the mood box isn't actually the usual way of putting images in your mood, particularly if you want to put text in aswell. Go to the mood button, then click 'show all public images', there you can find the turtle under [Ocean Soul]'s uploaded moods, and check the box next to it. It only takes up one space in your mood-character allowance then I believe.

2006-09-04 [The Chronicles of Faelan]: Allow me to just say, I LOVE YOU STEVE IRWIN!!!

2006-09-04 [Forever Equine]: Past, noone can edit your page to join.

2006-09-04 [The Chronicles of Faelan]: yes they can, password "Crikey"

2006-09-04 [Forever Equine]: k =)

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: ^_^

2006-09-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ^^

2006-09-04 [dayah]: wasn't stung for what I was heard on the news, he was stabbed in the heart with it...they shoulded the spine thing on tv...sigh...just to sad though.

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: yeah

2006-09-04 [dayah]: oops miss read...didn't get it all read..forgive me..*slaps self*

2006-09-04 [XxTsomexX]: O_o dont slap yourself!!

2006-09-05 [dayah]: I figured it would happen sooner or later, But I never thought it would be a sting ray that would do it... Crazy loveable man...

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: everyone can miss read.....i'm doing that all the time...

2006-09-05 [Forever Equine]: I always thought it would be a snake that would be his undoing, he was bitten so many times!

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: either a snake or a croc...

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i thought it would be a croc...

2006-09-05 [dayah]: yeah I know...I didn't know if it would be a croc, though there was that one time it did get his hand...when they said something about ocean I was sure it was a shark, not a sting ray.

2006-09-05 [Forever Equine]: Yeah, I remember watching the croc get his hand. It was like a close calls episode!

2006-09-05 [Shishiru]: he was a loveable lunatic, and i love him for that.

2006-09-05 [dayah]: yeah...thats what made him unique and fun to watch even when there was times you flinched...

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: yup^_^

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: me too

2006-09-05 [Forever Equine]: *giggles* I remember watching him on Jay Leno and getting a kick out of his energy, and the way he sat in a chair!=D

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: lol

2006-09-05 [Shishiru]: =D i agree with you Elv

2006-09-05 [Forever Equine]: *sniffles* Good times.=)

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ya good old times...

2006-09-05 [moira hawthorne]: 81. [Greyfrost] moved to 91.. on the 'Please go here to sign your name: Croc Hunter Tribute List'

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: O_o....

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: ^_^'

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i think the sign should be bigger....

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: -nods-

2006-09-05 [Shishiru]: "If theres anything i want to be remembered for, it's my Passion, and Enthusiasm" -Steve Irwin. Just heard this quote on TV.

2006-09-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i'm of to bed now good night

2006-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: hello, Yume

2006-09-05 [*(.Randi.)*]: Hi Yume

2006-09-05 [dayah]: I wonder if they caught it all on video, what happend to him that is...and does anyone know if his wife was on location with him?

2006-09-05 [Lothuriel]: No but, the article I read said something about him being with his daughter when it happened. they were filming a segment of a children's tv show.

2006-09-05 [Erubeus]: His wife was doing a walking tour thing when this happened and yes they did get it all on camera

2006-09-05 [*(.Randi.)*]: oh my goodness

2006-09-05 [Byne]: And wow, so much drama. Sorry. It rhymed.

2006-09-05 [Erubeus]: up at the top of the page there is three links go to the second one and you can read and get caught up on the event
