[Misc] RIP Threads

[Normal Rob]

I was going to try and time this post for a point when there did not appear to be a 'RIP Brian who played Triangle on Backstreet Boys cover of Dark side of the Moon' style thread on the board, as it might look as though I'm being disrespectful to the deceased or the OP, I'm not. However, as backs up the point of the thread, there appears to always be RIP threads on NSC. Whilst I mean to ill will to the deceased, should we not cut the numbers down a little? Could we not keep it to key names from the footballing world? or just major figures ? (yes, i know this is subjective but there has to be a line somewhere)

Cue the flaming...

RIP to the RIP Threads

I would say about 70-80% of threads on NSC don't really interest me - and that's fine, I just don't open them. I don't feel like RIP threads would be top of my list to get rid of.

Each to their own, I suppose.

Is that cover version on YouTube ?
RIP Brian

If it brings comfort to some then leave alone
More potter out threads needed though

This, especially with polls.

I don't generally RIP people I don't personally know so will mostly avoid the threads.

The threads are OK though.

Live and let live. Or not in this case.

Is this about the Billy Sharp thread?

Not interested? Scroll past. Not everyone needs to comment on everything. If you don't have anything nice to say, just keep schtum? Good advice for real life too, that.

So - just to be clear - is that Kim Kardashian / Kanye West / Eminem get a thread, but Shirley Williams / Paul Ritter / Christopher Plummer don't?

...'RIP Brian who played Triangle on Backstreet Boys cover of Dark side of the Moon'...

Sad news that's been kept quiet.

But he'd want it that way.

Should Bernie Madoff get one?

 

[jcdenton08]

Should Bernie Madoff get one?

Perhaps his son? He discovered the scheme, shipped his Dad to the feds, then committed suicide a short while later? No evidence he knew anything of the workings of the scheme and showed genuine remorse

I could not have put it in a more ornery fashion myself. I'd be happy for them all to stop but appreciate that that won't happen. I just think less is more in this case. There are so many now their value is diminished.

If the thread is about someone I have known about, and means something to me, I'll join in with a RIP from me too.

If it's somebody I've never heard of or somebody that meant nothing to me, like for instance a reality TV 'star' I'll just leave the thread alone. I might google the name out of curiosity, but won't add comments.

Can't see any problem with that, or with RIP threads in general.

That’s generally what’s happening...

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

RIP it up and start again? (I hope to God)

 

[albionalbino]

If they haven't been mentioned in a @crodo "famous supporter" thread they aren't worthy of a RIP thread.

This.....why single out RIP threads ? Just ignore anything not of interest
I quite like some of the RIP threads - people recalling/posting clips of said individual, personal encounters etc etc.
