So an Admin of board.ie Dies.

Jordon

What do you do? :(

Would you attend the funeral?

Would you start a thread?

What would you do?

tribulus

Nothing really, I don't know them.

No.

No.

Carry on with life and somehow get past the fact someone I never knew died?

Boards is pretty big I probably know less than 20 users in real life!

KnifeWRENCH

Well I guess I'd leave a message of sympathy in the thread announcing the death. More a formality than anything else.

I wouldn't go to a funeral unless I knew them personally (and I'm fairly positive I don't know any of the Admins)

dsmythy

What are you planning Jordan?

Oh nobody is actually dead.
Oh.

Overheal

god I thought someone was dead.

not allowed.

MagicMarker

I would kill myself as a mark of respect.

mike65

Admins do not die.

Mike.

Bit morbid tbh. Maybe expanding it to include Mods would make everyone feel included.

No they are not. You might have missed that bit of the thread? But what if one did die?

Say some poor Admin was lying there all dead and still in a coffin

It is something alot of posters have to come to terms with?

Make sure the safety word gets agreed upon beforehand next time.

I'm sorry, but are you a mental?

I was just thinking about it. Sorry if it offends you.

Oh it doesn't, it bemuses me.

Then go away? Leave the disscusion to others?

MagicMarker

Get me a can of coke while you're out will ya?

edit: And not that diet ****e!

humbert

I'd do the same thing everyone else is thinking of doing...launch a coup.

Down with our evil overlords...viva la revolution!

Call Me Jimmy

Ok I looked it up, it seems magicmarker was bewildered or confused about the thread and this cause Jordan to tell him to gtfo. Jordan, did you know what it meant?

MagicMarker: It would be pointless to get you a coke because I don't even know where you live let alone know how to get there, I'de probably miss the last bus and even if I wasn't going to miss the last bus I wouldn'tjust bring you a can of coke coz you said so. You are crazy! Also, the shops around here are closed definately at this hour and it's really ****ty weather outside.

If one of them dies.. They all die.

Captain Ginger

Try to sell shady boards.ie t-shirts at the funural and make a quick buck.

lorweld

I'd send an e-mass card.

I probably wouldn't attend the funeral cos I don't know any of them personally. But if people want to do somethings to lighten the mood at the funeral they could do some of the following:

Tell the widow that the deceased's last wish was that she make love with you.

Tell the undertaker that he can't close the coffin until you find your contact lens.

Punch the body and tell people that he hit you first.

Tell the widow that you're the deceased's gay lover.

Ask someone to take a snapshot of you shaking hands with the deceased.

At the cemetery, play taps on a kazoo.

Walk around telling people that you've seen the will and they're not in it.

Ask the widow to give you a kiss.

Drive behind the widow's limo and keep honking your horn.

Tell the undertaker that your dog just died and ask if he can sneak him into the coffin.

Put a hard-boiled egg in the mouth of the deceased.

Slip a whoopee cushion under the widow.

Leave some phony dog poop on top of the deceased.

Tell the widow that you have to leave early and ask if the will can be read before the funeral is over.

Urge the widow to give the deceased's wooden leg to someone poor who can't afford firewood.

Walk around telling people that the deceased didn't like them.

Use the deceased's tongue to lick a stamp.

Ask the widow for money which the deceased owes you.

Take up a collection to pay off the deceased's gambling debts.

Ask the widow if you can have the body to practice tatooing on.

Put Crazy Glue on the deceased's lips just before the widow's last kiss.

Show up at the funeral services in a clown suit.

If the widow cries, blow a trumpet every time she wipes her nose.

When no-one's looking, slip plastic vampire-teeth into the deceased's mouth.

Toss a handful of cooked rice on the deceased and scream "MAGGOTS! MAGGOTS!" and pretend to faint.

At the cemetery take bets on how long it takes a body to decompose.

Get someone to call you on your cell phone during ceremony and pretend your talking to the deceased person.

Goose the widow as she bends over to throw dirt on the coffin.

Circulate a petition to have the body stuffed instead of buried.

Tell everyone you're from the revenue and you're confiscating the coffin for back-taxes.

Promise the priest a hundred euros if he doesn't keep a straight face while praising the deceased.

Epic Tissue

I'd do nothing, because I don't know them. I know about 5/6 people on this.

Oh I think if you are around here long enough (or maybe that should read - be allowed here long enough) you will find that anyone and everyone is allowed to respond in a thread no matter how ridiculous it is, just like this one.

Goodbye England's rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.

You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.

You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.

Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.

And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will.

Loveliness we've lost;
these empty days without your smile.

This torch we'll always carry
for our nation's golden child.

And even though we try,
the truth brings us to tears;
all our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years.

Goodbye England's rose,
from a country lost without your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you'll ever know.'

Nothing.

tbh

I remember when i had about 26 posts, I didn't even know what an admin was, let alone who they were and what I'd do if they died. Kudos OP, you're a fast learner.

I've met most of the Admins now (wonderful chaps one and all) so I would be shocked. That said obviously I wouldnt attend the funeral but a comment on the relevant thread.

Of course this thread changes everything, the first thing I would do is hunt down the OP and subject him (coz despite the username we all know there are no girls on the net) hours of intense torture and questioning.

DubTony

The only one i've met is DeVore. I'd go to his funeral and tell jokes and rabbit on constantly and never shut up and just keep talking and talking and talking and talking and ............. (The poker players on here will understand)

edit: why has this thread gone to over 40 posts?

dr.bollocko

It appears people are playing with a noob or re-regged user.
/suspicious of you all.

Is that an admin coming to terms with his mortality via a new user account?
Well?
Is it?

Piste

Admins never die. For example the title of "Cloud" is passed on to a new used every year at the admin initiation beers.





It could be YOU.

WTF? Would I attend the funeral of some person whose service I use? Yeah..I'm saving up to go to the funeral of the Toyota CEO when he buys it, and the Dell guy too, and so on etc...yadda yadda zzzze

thelordofcheese

Legend has it that admins can be destroyed by a stake through the heart or exposure to sunlight.

This does not suffice, however, for they may be brought back to life, by means of a secret rite that can be performed once a century, when the moon is in the eighth house of Aquarius..

QFT!!

What is it with all this gayness and fawning over admins of boards.ie? This is by no means a disrespect to the admins, they do a great job, but they are a service provider as zuutroy says. I don't know them, have no emotional connection to them and therefore would not attend their funeral.

If I knew the person, I'd go to their funeral or whatever. Otherwise, doesn't affect me TBH.

eep :eek:
