I just happened across a post regarding the death of an RB contributor - IGOTTASEROTTA. Sad news.
I noticed another member died recently and, although i did not have any contact with the other member, I thought it was sad - as all deaths are.
Perhaps there is some way that members who have passed away could be remembered - nothing big, just something, somewhere to remember them by.
I know forums are not the most important things in the world but I enjoy the friendship here and have made some 'on line friends' and I have made some friends 'off line' who i have met here.
None of us are getting any younger and, as some of you will know, there are members who have had serious illnesses and, perhaps, we are lucky that they are still able to post on the forum.
So I would like to ask for suggestions as to what and how any small memorial on the site would be workable. I suspect that the mods (ie John) would have to be careful about contributions etc. OR have a part of the site to view and not to post on. As it is apparent, I am not sure how this works.
On a final point, and it may not be appropriate in some circumstances, it would be MY preference that flowers or some form of contribution/donation be made to deceased members. Again, this may prove very awkward but might be doable. Personally, I would be willing to donate for whatever was decided.
Thanks for reading, and I am sorry if this is where you learned of the passing of a member,
Kind regards,
Richard
