Why exactly is everybody putting "68" in their nicks?

Just curious, does it have to do with the pro league or something? Is it just a random trend?

I just put in a Random Number.

Because of Wal68, apparently he is dead

We don’t exactly know.
I thought… he’s not dead…

Ah ok that what I read

Can someone please explain this remark?!?!?

Edit: Where'd this rumor start?

This is not a rumor.
This is just a theory.

first, waluigi68 publishes this topic:https://mkpc.malahieude.net/topic.php?topic=10178 then, several support topics are created : https://mkpc.malahieude.net/topic.php?topic=10271    https://mkpc.malahieude.net/topic.php?topic=10280 ( example ) and Jey78 posts this message (forum link) https://mkpc.malahieude.net/topic.php?topic=10271

How do we know for sure he's dead?

Yes, he said "next time he would try" he would "probably" not resist, but it's not confirmed in any means

Regardless of what happens this is really sad, I almost considered changing my nick again to WarioMaster68 to avoid confusion with Wal68, I didn’t know you, but you will be missed.

I can do it

Rip him! F

Thank you for explaining. This is very sad. Hopefully he's not actually going to be permanently leaving (the world).

I will pray for him. It's my only way of showing support over the forum and seems a good path.
