Your thoughts wanted: The right way to honor the passing of a DC forum member

<< < (3/4) > >>

cranioscopical:
I too think it a good idea. It has a certain dignity to it.
 

mouser:
Agreed, a thread in the living room would seem most fitting.

I do find the idea of an indicator under the user's forum avatar indicating that the member has passed on, quite touching.. It conveys the fact that their spirit is still with us here virtually, just in a different form.

Very nice way to put it, and totally agreed.

Being quite sensitive to this situation currently, I would also find nice, beside the indicator on the avatar, to have a link that allows to read all his post at once.  Maybe it's already there so I apologize in that case.  If not, I would like my relatives and people close to me to have as little difficulty as possible to access my posts.

This thread also reminds me about a touching story.  A few years ago, a German student developed its own gmail system, called Postbox or Pubbox, not sure about the name.  There was 2 ways to access mail : the webmail and the pop server.  Then one started to stop working and 6-8 months after the other one cease also to work.  There was many questions raised in some dedicated forums as to why this happened.  Then someone spotted in a local newspaper a report about a car crash and actually this exceptional guy died in it.  Its service was so well done that it outlived him quite some time.

Nice idea anyway.

Everyone has that; visit a user's profile page and look for the link "Show posts".
