Look. If they are someone special that is worth remembering, by all means let us know they died so we can reminisce about the supergood stuff they did.
We do not need a dead-thread for everyone.

Why not? Why is one person more "special" than another? If you are not interested in the person being memorialized, just don't read the thread.Look. If they are someone special that is worth remembering, by all means let us know they died so we can reminisce about the supergood stuff they did.

...vehemently disagree...don't read the damn things if you're not interested...plus BJ's own "dead thread" phrasing is out of place, everyone is special in some way, and if we choose to post about them-we have that right as members of this Board, just as you have the right to post that you think they're a pain your azz...and birthdays???...hells to the yeah, each of us should be recognized individually....gives all that care to, an opportunity to recognize that someone on their special day, instead of listing their name in a communal congratulatory group grope...I love you both-you know that, but sheeyit!-that hit a nerve...
I agree. I'll start.I think we should just have one thread for everything. We each get one post and then you can only read the other posts from that point forward.
That would be in the what was old is new again vein. The very first SKMB was completely unthreaded so you would have to wade through every single post.I think we should just have one thread for everything. We each get one post and then you can only read the other posts from that point forward.
That's what she said...What I have thought about doing is having a separate forum for birthday messages rather than lumped into Chattery Teeth as we've done for the Games but then it gets to the point that the Home page gets long.
I like individual thread area, that would be good.What I have thought about doing is having a separate forum for birthday messages rather than lumped into Chattery Teeth as we've done for the Games but then it gets to the point that the Home page gets long.
Our minds are becoming less than 140 character things! It's like we don't have time to be human anymore. I love the birthday threads and I want to hear about deaths.
Let's just not talk anymore. All we can do is a thumbs up or thumbs down like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.
We honestly don't have the time anymore to reach out to another person and make a gesture of goodwill? We can't give some person (famous, infamous or just a regular schmo) just one final moment of thought in a thread that will get buried in a week and never thought of again most likely?
Ignore them. I totally understand those who find these irritating. Absolutely. But personally I like the individuality of it.
Good idea, but email is faster, and saves on postage...I think we all should (snail) mail all our posts to Ms. Mod's house for approval.
I'm sure she won't mind....
Thanks Joaquin.
