In memoriam
Hi Don,
Reading the tribute to Sunset Bob made me think of other members that have passed on. Skipper of the Sea Q and Redwing are two others I can think of that have passed. Is there a way to superimpose a wreath or something over their avatars to indicate they are gone, but not forgotten by their friends here on the Winnipesaukee Forum? Thanks, Jeff |
From the peanut gallery, that is a nice idea :)
|
Speaking of member that have passed, has anyone heard from our official greeter, RLW? Or was it RWL? Anyway, there have been no new welcome to the forum greetings lately.
|
Always wondered what happened to me&mac and a few others. I think some just move on to something different.

I did check for a plugin that would allow me to set a user account to a memorial account but there doesn't seem to be one available. Keep in mind that the forum is powered by a commercial software package. I didn't write it and I'm limited to the features that are available in the software or add-ons. I'll keep looking since I agree that it would be a nice feature.

We may have lost some active members but the traffic is at an all-time high this year. In August we had the biggest month ever with over 100,000 unique visitors. There is a wealth of knowledge and information archived here and people are now finding it through searches instead of registering and asking a question. |
I miss Me&Mac too.

How about just adding a section for those forum members who have passed on...maybe a "Gone But Not Forgotten" section.
Just a thought... Dan |

One simple solution would be for me to change the label under their name from "Senior Member" to "Deceased Member" or something like that. Does anyone have a suggestion for an appropriate label? |
How about

Mee-n-Mac
I am sad to report that Ellen, (Mee) of Mee-n-Mac, passed away about five years ago. Brian, (Mac), has not officially visited the Forum since few months before her passing. They were a very special couple.

Don, is there some way to include at least the year of passing? Perhaps you can juggle the member since entry? "Member since: 2008-2015" . |
I am very sorry to hear that RG. I didn't know them but just liked them by what they wrote. They seemed very nice.

My suggestion would be Memorial Member
|
Eternal member?
|
"Passed Member"
|
Perhaps simply " Rest in Peace " .

Another suggestion
How about "Winni Member Passes"
"Winni Member Remembered" Something with Winni in it. Sue |
"In Memoriam"

Don,
Have you made a decision on this? Thanks. |
After rereading all of the posts here, and many of them are very good, I got to wondering just how many of our members who have passed on would be posting so that we could see how Don decides to honor them???

Pineedles, yes very "tongue in cheek". Don, could the "members List" be altered to add a section for members who have passed on??

I changed a few but if you guys could remind me of others it would help. |
A title I hope is in my distant future...

Thank you Don. Redwing passed late last year. Greene's Basin Girl can confirm.
