Well, I generally like to stay out of these things, but I need to get this out!
I know there are terrible people in the world, and some of them unfortunately find their way here. They spam, say horrible things of every discription, and even fake their own death sometimes.
But there are many more people who we all know well, and who many of us care about. I know if one of the people I consider friends here were to suddenly leave, and not come back, I would want to know why. That, and I think it would be very wrong to pretend that someone never existed, just because they're not around anymore.You would not just purposely abandon a friend in real life, so why should this be any different?
Bottom line... Just because there are some questionable people here, does not mean we should disregard and distance ourselves from everyone! I think that proof of someone's death should be given, prefferably by a moderator, although the mod-only rule might be hard to enforce.
And Muppetsrule, that might not have been the smartest thing to say. If you look at Rosewood's memorial thread for example, I believe it was a member of her family? that sent a link to her online obit to Phill. If anything were to happen to me, I'm not sure how, but I would make sure someone knew how to contact all of you.
