We remember those we have lost from this community and I have no problem with that. Often it brings back fone memories that otherwise might allude us. However there does come a point when maybe people don't want to be remiinded, or when thare aen't as many of us around any more.

Just thought I'd ask.. how long do you want us to post these threads? No obligation to post to them, could just serve as an anniversary reminder.

Personally I don't mind being reminded of friends we've lost. Many traditions have remembrance events annually or even more often so its not something odd to do IMO.

While I see Gypsy's point, I have to say, it might be nice to have a 'Gone But not forgotten' forum where we can keep them in our hearts.

I was going to say I love these posts, but that is wrong. I don't love that they are gone, but I do love the memories that the mention of friends who have gone bring back. I would miss the posts.


Jinkies!

Not trying to get rid.. just wanted to check they are of some value which appears to be the case. smile And Mike, all the members we lose are listed in the Hall of Fame.

I do like to think about what we did way back when. But I am aimable to adjusting how things go.

I like seeing the posts as a way to walk down memory lane and think about our friends.

Seeing these is a sad reminder that there is an end. But they also remind me of those who were a part of our lives. We don't think of them much but once a year it's good to remember them.

When we have one of these, it allows me to take a few minutes and remember my times in games with them or just seeing them around the forum when we were much busier. We are a dying breed. <sigh>

While it is sad to see the names of everyone that have gone I think it’s important to keep listing them. It’s an old saying that you’re only truly dead when no one says your name anymore, so keeping their memory alive is important.
