RIP Stillborn RIP Forum

How come this one gets knocked up in 5 minutes and we still haven't got a RIP forum despite the clear democratic mandate for one?

Because I am a cock.

And configuring that one is gonna be a bit more tricky.

And this one was more fun to anticipate. I am not a man who says "Oh Boy! I cannot wait to see what is next on the memorial forum!"

A very tacky idea would be to have a "death pool" on the Memorial Forum.

And because, before Kurt can build it, I have to set out how exactly it will work and I've been a bit busy traipsing round the Middle East and Greece, bad time of year to be doing extra things.

It will probably be a few more weeks at least.

Sounds to me like you are unable to discharge the functions of a moderator and should hand over to someone else. Grateful if you could inform us of the selection procedure so we can all have a fair crack of the whip.

One thing that spared you is that your life expectancy increased the moment you retired. But a few months before retirement was when you were at the greatest risk of getting shot in a diner (or whatever they call places that serve Scouse there) while clutching a photograph of a boat you were going to restore or a crippled grandchild you were going to finally spend more time with.

Admit it, you want an S&M section for you and your goth girlfriends.

Btw, I'm all for a dead pool. I have met enough flaggers (Roddy, Rafaele and RR3) who snuffed it, to want to be able to collect some coin from this place.
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.

This should be merged with the History forum.
