    So if you dropped dead today would we (Boards.ie) ever know about it or would you just fade away with the odd "what ever happened to [insert name]?"

    I know plenty of people on here in real life so am sure it would get a small mention ... or at least I hope it would!

    If I passed away Kharn would know about it, eventually.

    He probably wouldn't be arsed mentioning it here though.

    One other boardie would definitely know but probably wouldn't mention it here. I doubt if there would be a "Whatever happened to...?"

    Your biggest fear is expiring-without the knowledge of the boardsie masses?

    Wow.

    I carry my boards.ie donor card wherever I go.
    Someone without a boards.ie username will get my identity whenever I pass away...
    I just hope they treat it well...

    I stopped posting on another forum I frequent, and nobody said anything! Someone even started a thread about certain posters posting more or less frequently and I never got a mention!

    Hey you guys [on the other forum], I'm dead. Mourn me, for God's sake. :D

    I don't think anyone would notice, unless they started talking about Macbooks on the Laptop forum.

    Though this may change after Saturday night....

    I have a deal with Smccarrick that he would post details of my death if it happened, I would do the same for him, though hopefully that will not happen for a very long time.

    They might know, but I can't see anyone caring much about my death. Unless it's the rejoycing kind of caring, lol.

    HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? . . . I mean no he just got tired of boards or goes to another forum or he's been busy, yeah that's it.

    On a serious note, I see people on the CTYI forum every now and then. One of them would find out and post it.

    Definitely not. Unless the two other boardsies i know in real life this cared to mention it. The only place i might have been missed is from the leaving cert forum, but that's all in the past now
