They say you die twice.
The first, the worst, is when you die physically .
The second is when everyone forgets talking about you or no longer have memories of your life in other friends and family of you and let your stories and grave be ignored.

I agree with Busy Bee's assessment.
But it's true some kind of "In memoriam" page might be a good idea. The thing with having a family member notify the forum is another good idea.
As far as honte goes, I hope he pulls a Michael Jordan and comes back for a second run on SSP.
While we're on this subject, I just noticed ardecila now has over 10000 posts. Man, I think there was a time that number was smaller than mine - he started just a couple months after I did. TUP also has five digits but has about a two year jump on us. Anyway, looking at BNK's criteria, they will have particularly long afterlives. I guess the internet has given all of us a small sliver of immortality...
