Could we get an "OBITUARY" section for members who have passed on...

[DRKsmoking]

even called them out in other threads and no response. (even googled one to see if something came up....I know stalker

You are right , maybe not a full fledged " Stalker ". Just a concerned friend . Looking out to see how they are or if they are. For lack of a better word.

I like the concept, but god forbid if a mistake was ever made.

There should be a committee and only they should be allowed to post on this thread. It should not be for condolences just the notification of the passing of a member.

Well I am not close freinds with anyone on this forum. Meaning if I pass no one would know unless I post it myself. If that ever happens then you all better run to the woods because I will be haunting you for a good BBQ.....Just saying

I'm sorry, this made me laugh way harder than it should have.

None of us are getting out of it, so might as well have some fun with it!

Maybe a "RIP / MIA" thread to cover the rear?

 

[bmudd14474]

Currently when I'm notified we put a title on their name near your user title with RIP or something like that for example.

Could be wrong but think in the beginning of the thread it was meant as an easy way for new members to easily find out about some of the great contributions of passed members. Such as Bearcarver, Chef Jimmy J are the 1st two that come to my mind. And all of their great posts and lists of cooks. If they are new, they won't know anything about them until someone posts a link of theirs.

Most of the deceased members we remember were OTBS, and they are listed as "In Memoriam" on the roster.

Chris

Side note: bmudd14474 Brian Can we get rid of the blue print on the OTBS roster. It's hard to read.

I never know what to say when someone passes. It is heartbreaking that we live, and love (or we are supposed to) and it ends.

 

[Buckeyedude]

Im just going to throw this out there! No matter how much or little we might of conversed on here, no matter if I liked your post or not, you like mine or not, you saw some humor in my shenanigans or not. When my time comes, please report to your workplace that a dear friend of yours has passed and that you need a day or two minimum to recover from the shock of such a loss! This ones on me! Its the little things that matter! Enjoy your days off!

That is an obscure thread.
Better to put up in the Announcements block next to roll call where all members can find it.
I feel embarrassed for the newer people that actually use the search feature and find a thread from a known deceased person, but don't understand the member status block and get chided by a member the person is deceased and cannot reply.
There is a lot of fantastic members, OTBS or not, that have faded away. Be nice to know if they have passed to the afterlife or simple passed as they don't want to post on the forum.

I can tell you after being a way from here for over 10 years, it was very sad to see how many of the old guard have passed. It would be great to memorialize them.

After looking at some past posts from trying to help out in your other thread was surprised to see how many Iowans were here back then.
