Praise for the "In memoriam" sticky

Originally we put deceased posters in the “BANNED” category to keep anyone – even well intentioned family members – from using the registration. That’s what happened with Mimi and she got lost in the mists of time.

Since then we have added the “Posting Sabbatical” option where living members can take a break from the board and are not able to post during that time. This seems a much more appropriate category for these special situations.

Now everyone who has left the building should be listed as a “Member.” They’re on Posting Sabbatical.

Thanks.

I’ll be sure to keep an eye on obituaries in Missouri for anyone named Frank. I’ll be sure to let everyone know.

As of 12:45 pm Central, I’m still alive. Further updates as developments warrant.

Generalissimo Francisco Frank is still alive.

Man, I didn’t know about Askia.

@Frank

When I die, y’all will just have to assume that I chose not to post anymore.

We’ll change your title to “Posthumous”.

dropzone, I think MPSIMS is the best place for that sticky. That’s where threads about illnesses and deaths usually go, so it makes sense for the sticky to be in the same place. And the forum description does include things like “life changing announcements.”

Yeah, but like Reeder, if it were announced in MPSIMS, I’d never know I’d died.
