N.S.C virtual memorial?

This may be a silly idea and apologies if it's been suggested before, but i was thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a section away from the big board (say around the R.E memorial or N.S.C gold threads) that commemorate those North stand chatters that have passed away. Just a simple list of their user and real names (Robert Eaton and Bhaexpress spring to mind) And if this is agreeable could we add non north stand chatting, but Albion supporting friends and family who have passed away?
A virtual memorial garden if you will.

sorry but i really don't like the idea. Far to twee for me. Memories are for the real world, not a virtual one. What next, NSC online eternal flames for the departed?
 


What would go into a memorial page?

When Frank (bhaexpress) died, those of us who knew him both in real life and as his NSC persona were sad to lose the whole package, not just the contributor to some of NSC's most vitriolic and - let's be honest here - unpleasant binfests. Would a memorial page be confined to a sugary "RIP Frank" entry? Or would someone dig out some of the best (or worst) of his NSC contributions and post them (out of context, of course), alongside the tributes? Either way, I'm fairly certain that what would end up on the memorial page would be a hopelessly inadequate representation of the complex guy we were "remembering".
 


Maybe the trick would be to fake your own death, read the tributes with interest, lie low for a few years and then spring back into life?

But that would never happen, would it?

I take your point lord B, i just thought that a simple page with user name and actual name of N.S.C members and Brighton supporting loved ones. Nothing sugary and nothing complex, just a little nod and a thought to a passed member of our Albion supporting community.
