Announcement on t-i: https://www.team-integra.net/threads/me ... 2030091741

Stephen Gilboy / MorningZ passed away yesterday. Founder of team-integra.net and an amazing friend to the entire Integra community.

Steve became a lifelong friend in the first year of t-i. For those who might not remember, Steve and a few others (SurferX for example) created t-i as a counter to what SHO and others had become. It was in the same era as honda-tech forming in response to honda-acura.net and so on. ITRCA was also in its infancy.

I joined Steve's site near the beginning, and it was my introduction to the Integra community. His approach was very different at the time with a focus on community and helping others. If it was not for him, I don't know that I would have explored the community more. I credit him with my growth and own role in the Integra world, ITRCA, ITR Expo, etc. I learned a lot from him and am forever grateful. Steve was both personable and talented. He basically re-wrote the code structure for the snitz forum software at the time as well as created t-i entire structure including the articles, etc. It was a mammoth site that helped countless owners.

Below is a photo of the first t-i mod / admin gathering in Vegas from 2005.
Myself and many others will miss him.

I don't know who he is unfortunately. I was into Accords and Preludes during those days, but i know of t-i.

He sounds like the kind of guy I would've been grateful to have met though.

Sorry to hear this news. In a world that needs more revered people like him, this is a huge loss for all of us.

Wow huge loss. He was instrumental in getting Team Integra built up. I was very active in those days and we had many meets in and around central Florida that were organized on there. The forums sucked when they were bought out because it was just a cookie-cutter type and there was just something about the old forum he created that was special. Never knew him personally, but he was at a lot of meets with us. RIP.

Sad news. I remember when his wife passed a few years ago. =(

Good screenshot! Many memories for me too.
Steve was in Chicago for a layover back in ~2004, and he called to see if I was free. I drove out, picked him up, had some drinks, and dropped it off just in catch his flight. It was a fun story that he loved to share. Always a great guy

Rip. What happened?

How old was he?

Without getting into details, a brain tumor was found in April 2022. Those who knew him or connected via his social media could see the treatment process and challenges. Stark reminder on life's fragility.

That’s awful. I know 11 people that passed away last year. Three were from Cancer. One was brain cancer. Two pancreatic cancer. The others were opioid related. Only one person was elderly.
