I can't speak as a true close friend of baddad's and I wont pretend that I can. He and a few other notable names assisted me and many others in our young and mature stages of the game and on the forums.
Previously, there was a little buggy that had the color and name changed for a former Crime City member that had passed. His sydnciate (maybe OGK - don't remember for sure) asked for it to be done and a mod made it happen.
I guess what I'm getting at is to see if anyone has even inquired about this in honor of baddad.
