Default A new sticky needed.

Maybe it could be called 'The Obituaries'. Used of course to post everyone's favorite death notice. What say ye? For it or Against it?

I suggested this a little while back and the idea was nixed in favor of the current individual death notices to stand on their own merits and then scroll into oblivion like the folks they are written about, because an obituary topic wouldn't be frequented by many.

Just let these things fade away quietly. After all, who would want to go back and read about people who kicked the bucket 3 years ago?

Indeed, no real need for it tbh, if we're not going to have a stickied gun thread then I doubt we'll need a obituary thread.

Ultimately, obituary topics are frequented by all!

Two valid points, not that I'll be voting either way.

I voted no. I think it is better to just have single threads in most cases they are off the first page in a few days anyway.

If you make a mega sticky it will always be there not to mention it would get confusing. What if two or three people pass in the same week?

RIP,RIP,RIP
