Is there an AD memorial page for past AD members?

Perhaps but others may see it as paying respect. For me, it's a toss up. I guess that depends on how it is put together. Which is why I'm asking.

Try paying respect to people when they are alive. It goes a lot further than empty sentiments after they die.:roll:

Goulish, indeed. Especially from someone who has shown such a lack of respect for the majority of AD members. Almost as if he is waiting for the opportunity it celebrate someone's death.

That's ..... just fucked.
 
Since I've been here, the only member deaths that have occurred were fake.

Considering that fakers come in and out of this site like fruitflies, I could see such a page being abused much more than it would serve the benefit of the community. Better to let this idea die (no pun intended)

So, no AD members passed away? I thought PFH said yes, it has happened that AD friends have passed away.

Potential for abuse. Perhaps you could be right. Hence my question.
 
I have known of two ADers who have passed away. No memorial thread was made for them. :dunno:
 
Koko, if you would like a memorial page/thread, make one. (You did not need to create this thread for our permission.)

Not about asking permission. Just asking the obvious why is there not a memorial page. I'm asking whether if it would be a good idea (or not) to set up one. I have no interest in setting up one but asking the question. If it's something that AD would like to see then perhaps a permanent folder such a memorial? Maybe not just for former ADers but other well known deaf/hh people who have passed away, too.
 
I know one that a thread was made for.

People just naturally make a thread in memory of that person. No need to create a separate sub forum for it.
 
I remembered that one member who I thought actually passed away...I cant remember his name but we found out that he actually faked it which was a pretty sick prank to do. So we don't know if they REALLY died or not unless we have some specific proof.

Really? Where is that thread?

And thanks for your response about the sub forum.
:wave:

I think I remember reading about that, too. Maybe it's the specific proof is required before allowing such an announcement or memorial for that sub forum?
 
Kokonut, are you ill and worried about being remembered?

Nope. Not ill. I still have my blogsite and friends. :wave:

Thanks for asking.

But I am asking a legitimate question here. Is it a good idea to have a permanent subforum under "memorial" or not? I'm bringing this up because I came across a few articles about these things. And so I'm asking here.

I think there is so much traffic here and transient members, that it would be pointless.

Most of us have our friends at Facebook, and that would probably be where we would be remembered.

That's true. However, Babyblue provided a link to a recent ADer death. Facebook might address it but I'm thinking more in line of consolidating ADers' passing and even news of well known or famous deaf/hh people who have passed away but that's not where I'm trying to go with. Babyblue provided a confirmation of one ADer passing, suppose you have new members who finds out their old friend or acquaintance they knew have passed away and didn't know about it. You'd have to search for it. But if it's all under one subforum, maybe that might make the process easier to find. That's my line of thinking. Of course, each of us sees this differently on how this information is to be relayed to the rest of the community. Some see it as "ghoulish" other sees it as an opportunity to learn the news and pay their respect. I am kind of stuck in between on that one.
 
okonut, you have been given your answer. Just because it is not the answer you want does not mean that you need to keep asking the same question. It simply means that you need to accept the answer you have been given. It is not that people do not understand your question. It is just that most disagree with you. Get over it.
