![[STR8^MEAN] Legacy Night Poster](/images/Jan_21_POSTER2.png)
On January 21, 2026, the [STR8^MEAN] community will be hosting a Celebration of Life / Legacy Night in honor of our longtime [MEAN] Slaughterhouse brother, STR8_Up — also known to many as Arthur D. Stockard.
STR8_Up was more than just a teammate. He was a friend, a mentor, and someone who held a key leadership role within our community for many years. His influence, guidance, and dedication left a lasting mark on countless players, and meant so much to us that the server itself was renamed in his honor.
To celebrate his life and legacy, we’ll be gathering on a custom, modified de_dust map, designed especially for this night. Old friends and familiar names are encouraged to join, reconnect, and share memories.
Players who wish to speak will have the opportunity to take the stage and share a brief story or anecdote — keeping the mood light, respectful, and fun, just as STR8_Up would have wanted.
This is not a funeral.
It’s a celebration of a gaming life well lived — followed by some classic, old-school Counter-Strike.
All friends, past and present, are welcome to attend and help us honor a true legend of the community.
