A very sore subject for some. I would imagine the profiles remaining might be a good memory for some. Those players which put in a large portion of there time here - might well be remembered best by having a remaining membership here.

Q
I didn't mean to burn any passed members by my first post, it was an innocent question of stats.
I know of two members who have died also, and care not to mention names.
Maybe Russ should have a small commemoration room, somewhere, where respects can be paid for members who have passed, some reminiscent posts and moves or games won (only)?
Or maybe it's just left alone; I don't know.
Maybe some closure is needed for some, and maybe some family members would like a small remembrance room. I do think it needs investigating by admin though, as they have the necessary contact e-mails.

Player ABC advised us that Player XYZ has passed away. *All round sympathies etc etc*
Two weeks later Player XYZ moves again.
People die, its a fact of life. Those that are important in that persons life will know they have passed on. Knowing that a player has died will have no real impact on someone who only knows them by a screen name.

Originally posted by KewpieRight on QP. Too many people are telling us what to believe rather than experiencing it themselves.
"even though an immortal soul was imputed by God to your body at the moment of birth"
is a statement of a belief, is it not? That's your opinion, others may or may not believe the same as you do. We're not all brainwashed and indoctrinated to the point that we must believe what you believe.

I know at least 6 in person & as many more I would like to meet before one of us do the big sleep.
I am sure all the people who attend Phlabs BBQ each year have become pretty good friends.
Not everyone is just a SCREEN NAME, although to you they probably are.

Originally posted by adramforallThe people I know on here are exactly the same in the real world.
In here, everyone is just a screen name, in real life they are totally different.
When the two seem the same you need a dose of reality.
Perhaps you are the only one needing a dose of reality.
Of course there are those who sprout off in here who would never do the same thing in a face to face situation. I am not pointing any fingers, but if the shoe happens to fit, so be it! 😛
