Goodbye Drunkgecko

Posted by GGishere - February 12th, 2025

Drunkgecko, aka Skarlet Oktavia has deleted her account due to embarrassment over her final breakdown and a lack of point in using it anymore.


For years, i had defended her when the mods had treated her unfairly. Was i white knighting for someone i barely knew in a desperate attempt for friendship? Yes. Was there hundreds of better things i could have done to help her? Also yes. But at the end of the day, she was someone i considered a friend and an iconic part of the forums, for better or worse. I wish her all the best in her future and i hope she finds a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.

I respect that you tried to help her. I feel like though this was an inevitablitiy. I will say though the place wont be the same without her for better or worse. Did she go a bit far at times? Sure. But like this whole situation could have been handled a lot better

It's a real pity to see her go, but in times like these we have to remind ourselves that Newgrounds isn't the only community out there.
I wish her the best and that she finds people to have a good time with elsewhere.

farewell to another forum reg. ever since the general board closed, there were some regs that had completely lost it.
i wish her well in life if we do not hear from DrunkGecko again.

Literally just went looking for an old thread by her and found out that her account no longer exists. I then fell down a rabbit hole looking at all my PM's from people that no longer exist on Newgrounds. I haven't been on this site very long (in the grand scheme of things), but so many people are gone, from one off "pls scout me" kids, to established creators, to small niche musicians who were just waiting to get discovered. I hope DrunkGecko and all those others find what they're looking for.

time makes fools of us all
