Default Remembering members

With the passing of David it got me to thinking. What about making some place on the website to post members and a few words for the ones that are no longer with us? I know whe've had a few recently and it would be a way to remember and show respect.

I made the same suggestion a few months ago when Bruce Kalin passed but got no word from the administrators. There was even a thread started.

Memorial page?


It would be nice to have a page somewhere.

I agree with both of the above posts. The admins on here have done a fantastic job of upgrading this site. One more section added to the forums would not be a very hard thing to do. I know I would like to be able to see, and hear about members who were on here before i joined, but have moved on to next life. Just a thought!

I agree but instead of a few words for each member who has passed we might have to just make a list of names. A nice paragraph about it all at the begenning and then the list of names.
Th reason I say that is for example ,Davids passing , there is 190 post so far . You would have a thread 100,000 miles long.
I tried to explain what I was thinking,hope it makes sence ...

A couple other sites I belong to have a specific thread for these circumstances with links to the appropriate threads.

One calls their's "The Ride Home".

Another calls theirs, "Final Journeys".

There is no posting in these threads.

A suggestion could be,"The Last Command", or "The Highest Command".

I agree that we should remember them somehow. Perhaps a page on the site with their names listed similar to a war memorial? I know Mike has plenty of other things to do but perhaps it could be considered as an addition to the site in the future.

Im all for the list of names. comments will drag it out, and should be reserved for a different thread. I kinda like "The Final Journey Home"

Very good idea.

I agree that a simple list of names would keep it for becoming too "full". A link to the respective threads may work (?) as well.

Excellent idea and addditional suggestions. I think there should be more than just a name.
