You really are a complete bell end.. It doesn't matter to you his reason. Think it's disgusting making threads about someone who is no longer with us
One of you is. He wasn't speculating, merely asking, I don't see the problem.

What like how you've said in the past how Ricky should leave Billy and stuff? I suppose that's minding your own business.

I agree depression is something that needs to come out but at the end of the day his family clearly don't want to say the reason or more importantly maybe they don't know.. Someone mentioning about being gay.. This is the whole reason we should all stay out of someone who can't answer for himself's business..
This is exactly why I agree with you. I don't like these threads, there have beens similar ones about Darren Sutherland. Although there is no malicious intent meant by the opening poster and majority of those that contribute, it encourages speculation and for loved ones of the deceased who may access a forum like this it can be upsetting.

The thread or any other on the British board wouldn't be indexed by google searches as this board I believe as it requires a log-in to view.

not sure why it would be upsetting to the family, they know the truth, which is bound to be more upsetting than what we know - which is f all really.

I can understand both points of view regarding this topic, some people may think his family deserve some privacy and others have a genuine interest in trying to understand why someone with such a good reputation and personality would have done such a thing.

The thing thats heated up the thread is Davidee's over the top reaction to the OP.

At the end of the day, I have never heard a bad word said against Dean Powell on this forum and the thread that followed his death showed how well respected he was within the regulars on here. I dont think anyone on here would delibrately do anything to upset the people he has left behind and if anything I think they would be quite proud to see some of the thoughts and comments about him that have been spread throughout boxrec in the past.

It is a slightly strange and insensitive question on a public forum.

The answer is self explanatory.

That said, it's a perfectly understandable question to ask.

I'm confused, google bots can't fill out log in forms, so anything behind that form is invisible isn't it? The link is probably no-followed anyway?

Every1s basically on the same page here really, in that its basically a really sad, unfortunate thing that has happened.

But some posters get so holier than thou it generates into a silly pointless row, thus prob making it more disturbing for the family if by chance they are reading.

I mean the worst they WOULD have read is "I don't know, what a sad loss he'll be missed....etc". Now they gotta read this tedious bullshit.

People in glass houses.. Not at all Billy and Ricky can come on here and defend themselves.. My opinion wasn't that Ricky should definitely leave Billy but maybe bring someone else in.. It wasn't just for Ricky's good but Billy's too.. When someone stops listening to you there is no point and that was what I got from the last fight watching it.. No matter what goes on here I actually quite like Billy. He's a genuine world class coach his advice is always spot on. Anyway back on topic.. Maybe my original post was over the top and I apologise but it's one of my pet hates and how rumours start.. If your nosy keep it too yourself or snoop sneakily. Don't broadcast on a public forum..

I would disagree with what you said at the end there Daviddee? Surely a question asking if anything official has been said about the inquest into Dean's death would put away rumours.

Like for Gary Speed I've only heard that officially it cannot be classed as a suicide due to lack of suicide note. However, the rest of the inquest has not been disclosed.... you only need to do Google searches to note what the rumours are - I shall not repeat them.

Compare that to Amy Whinehouse, loads of rumours etc before her death. After the coroner's report and verdict were made public, that's the end of it.

Now, it might be a scenario in which the family do not wish to disclose the reason's for the apparent suicide, well that is fair enough.... off course though by doing that then rumours will start.

Darren Sutherland - I know the rumours and heard the stories - if there was a public verdict into the reasons behind his suicide then that would put the rumours to bed.

The OP was only asking if there was an official enquiry/verdict and not "OMG did you hear that about Dean". The thread should only have been two posts long.... Was there an enquiry - No.... the end. Or Was there an enquiry - Yes found out that..... the end. Now perhaps unintentionally the responses to asking a simple question will spread rumours that I haven't read/considered before now.

Wasn't meant to sound sarcastic.

Google are huge, they own the internet, effectively. Ok so Msoft might think they have some sort of market share with Bing but I think it's fair to say that Google have had a number of years now to get around the whole "have to be logged on" thing. I've got 2 of the Google boxes at work, they are phenomenal.

I can't imagine there are too many forums that haven't had their content indexed, it's dead easy to check too.

Apologies if I took that wrong

I think there is a way of opting out of crawling for external content with robots.txt. The issue comes as the content is indexed if they exist elsewhere.

Of course, I'm struggling to see why you would have an external facing website that you DIDN'T want indexed...kinda defeats the point of it being there, assuming it's regular web content.

Yeah, i know about robots.txt. Sole issue was the belief that google can't get behind application forms and log in's. Know it can get through search options...

Will leave the SEO stuff off the Dean Powell thread. if his family accidentily saw this they would think I was a boring pudendum
