Title: A Dead Thread?
Post by: Steve H on May 17, 2019, 06:26:36 AM

Might I suggest a single, pinned thread for people to mention clog-poppers, to avoid the multiplication of "Fred Bloggs dead"-type threads? On another forum, we had one called "The Dead Thread". When it moved to a new platform, the new version was (and is) called "Clog-poppers".

Possibly, although in some cases a separate thread might be thought appropriate. As an example when the Queen falls off her perch.

Given we are not overrun with threads, this seems a pointless and naff approach.

NS
so 'naff' is an acceptable term on the forum then ?  :o

Quite - it wouldn't preclude separate threads for major mortal-coil-off-shufflings, such as Madge, or a prime minister or president snuffing it while in office.

Quite a good idea. The only thing is that, sometimes, the discussion around a recently dead person get quite involved. In such situations, we'd probably need to split the thread.
