Sad News...

RIP John

I have wondered for quite some time how we would ever know if someone had passed away that visits these forums. Anybody could just pass away at any time and nobody really know.

Wow, that really is sad. RIP John

There is always a service like this:
https://www.slightlymorbid.com/

But I'd be worried there would be a glitch and there would be a mass email go out about my death when I was just fine.

Wow, sad news indeed. I remember John helping me with the tables in the uplink reports as I used to do them by hand bringing the uplink reports, prior to getting deployed, and digiblur taking over the rains. I wish John and his family all the luck. May he RIP.

We should rename the uplink forum in his memory.

Kinda makes me want to tell others around me that if something ever happens to please visit a few forums and let people know what happened.

I used to be a regular on another forum that added a "Next of kin" field to the user profile. It was completely optional, of course, and only viewable by site admins... just a place to drop a name and phone number so that in a case like this Scott could've made a phone call to find out what was up.

Nice to see the other site is acknowledging him as well. Even made it a sticky thread and and the mods linked it to this thread here.
