Group formation proposal - the reflecting pond
I would like to start a DU group for all those DU'ers that have left this life too soon.
This group would act as a tribute page (no room from snark or debate - if you don't want to honor the DU'er being remembered, then don't post). An OP could be started in the group, then linked to the main DU forum that the honoree usually posted in (like GD or the lounge).
This would allow tribute OP's to remain up and live for a long time and would give us one place to remember those that have meant so much to us.

If you are tired of hate, this group would be one DU location that would be a hate free zone. No snark, no debate, just kind memories of those that have left us.

I was lucky enough to see the cabaret Question W Revue that was created by a DU'er that passed on much too soon (Jeff Malston, I think - please forgive the spelling - I don't know his DU name - I think it was Notslamj or something like that. He has been dead a couple years. I would like a place to post in memory of him and all others that have left us too soon.

4. Very nice ... and I think 'Reflecting Pond' is much nicer than
Memorial Wall which is a phrase that has been suggested.

6. I'm proud to be the rec to get this to the Greatest page and am 100% in.
Amazing how close I've become to people I may never have the opportunity to press flesh with--and I'm still better for it.

Excellent idea.

10. I think it is a great idea...there are too many that are forgotten
too quickly.

Thanks for this.

13. good idea
unfortunately there are now plenty to be remembered, but it can be a positive thing to do that. Keep their memories alive, instead of erasing them. Do it.
