#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 On the FSM forum. I came upon an announcement that a long-standing member had passed away. This has happened a few times there over the years.As far as I know this has never happened here. Many members have been here for years, and have told of loved one dying. But we have never hear of one of us passing away?It is possible that that has happened. actually, statistically speaking it's more then likely that in the 13 years this place has been here a few members who were at one time very active are no longer here.The thought frightens me a little, that an active member could one day just stop posting. Because he, or she no longer can....
gkgyver 1,647 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Don't worry, I'm sure most of us are so traumatised by JWfan that they will come back to haunt this place.Who tells me it isn't your ghost posting this?
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I know it`s not the most healthy thought, but I was thinking the other day that if I died, none of you folks would really know.Hmm....
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 I might leave instructions to me relatives to inform people in case of my death....
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 See, nobody even knows I frequent this forum. So what would I do? Leave instructions for my relatives to go on this forum and make an obituary thread upon my passing?

Quintus 6,495 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I've seen more cheer in a graveyard. Code 000. Destruct. 0. 1
Jay 46,242 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 In the older days it was impossible to know if a user who hasn't posted in a while was dead, or still alive and just not visiting JWFanNowadays a lot of us are Facebook friends so we'll find out that way.It's only people like King Mark and Bloodboal who refuse to give out any personal details or use social networking sites that we'd probably not know about their passings
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 King Marks full name is well known to me and has been for years.As for Facebook. My close family is not in my FB. Why would they? They live 10 minutes distance from me and we all have whatsapp....
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 I am not at liberty to say...
Jay 46,242 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 King Marks full name is well known to me and has been for years.Well yes, but you wouldn't find out that he died unless you googled for his obituary every day
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I don`t have Facebook (for stupid reasons really) and tend to refrain from similar social networking sites. So I don`t benefit from them, leaving my potential absence from the web unexplained.See, nobody even knows I frequent this forum. So what would I do? Leave instructions for my relatives to go on this forum and make an obituary thread upon my passing?Why not?Well, I`m not really sure they`d be up for it. I don`t think inforuming a forum will be on their minds as a priority. I don`t know, its a strange thing.
alicebrallice 134 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Bloodboal who refuse to give out any personal details he's french, he's 22 and his name is pierre. you're welcome!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Finally!How about Lee's surname?Well yes, but you wouldn't find out that he died unless you googled for his obituary every dayOnce a week...

KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Bloodboal who refuse to give out any personal detailshe's french, he's 22 and his name is pierre.you're welcome! Il s'appelle Pierre eh?
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Bloodboal who refuse to give out any personal detailshe's french, he's 22 and his name is pierre.you're welcome! I've had that idea in my mind for so long that I don't know anymore what could possibly be real and what my brain just decided to use as an stand-in image of BloodBoal.
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 The crazy side comes from the Finnish blood. The rare moments of insight come from your mother I presume.
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Bloodboal who refuse to give out any personal detailshe's french, he's 22 and his name is pierre.you're welcome! Yes, yes you got me... I am Pierre. Pierre Jean-Luc Reno. But I'm 34.And my father is Finnish, and my mother is Canadian. That's why I always got along very well with KK and Inky. It's in my genes, you know.Do you speak Catalan with a funny Fgench accent?
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I once met a very hot Polish girl who was learning Castilian who tried to teach me to pronounce Polish. It was impossible!.
alicebrallice 134 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I'm imagining him speaking french right now.heh... hehehe. hehehehehh. nice...

Jay 46,242 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 If someone dies, he won;t post on Facebook either.Obviously not, but family members and friends would make posts on his wall about it, plus Facebook has a "In Memorium" mode that a family member or friend can turn on for a page so anyone visiting knows he's passed
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I'm imagining him speaking french right now.heh... hehehe. hehehehehh. nice...I'm imagining him as a guiri trying to speak Catalan in the middle of crowded Barcelona, a bit like Marcus in that scene from The Last Crusade.
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I'm imagining him speaking french right now.heh... hehehe. hehehehehh. nice...Finalement, un person qui parle une langue que je peux parler! Aucune finnois ou le suédois!
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Je ne peux pas parler le français anymore.
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 C'est dommage! Pourquoi?Pourquoi j'ai oublié (?)Mitä helvettiä?Ez zaitut ulertzen!Actually I do understand. My Finnish is excellent. I bet you had no idea.Uskon, että suomeni on loistavaa. Mutta se on oikeastaan huonoa. En voi vieläkään suomentaa minun viestiäni.
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Pourquoi avez-vous appris le français? Pourquoi avez-vous arrêter de parler?Mitä helvettiä?You're trying to piss me off, but it's not going to work so... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 I feel the original intention of this thread had gotten rather lost
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 As is the fate of all JWFan threads, but I`ll stop now.
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Pourquoi avez-vous appris le français? Pourquoi avez-vous arrêter de parler?At school. Then I didn't continue with it. I admit I'm not the biggest fan of the language but now I wish I hadn't done so.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 It's a very economic language. Only 900 words I believe.
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I've had more afinity for English. Both have infernal pronunciation nowadays, but English is definitely easier on my ears.Depends of the person. My own taste in languages has changed over time.
Incanus 5,890 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Why are we not morbidly discussing the essence of life and the short lives of men but rather languages? I ask you, is this the right place for it my brethren? Or the time? Time is slipping through our fingers, fingers that will soon be too weak to type messages here as years sap the strengths from our limbs and wit from our minds. Woe is us. Woe I tell you!
KK 3,313 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I wasn`t always a fan of French, but now I love it. I definitely prefer it to Germanic-based languages. I can`t stand Deutsche.In the end, I`m best with English though, largely because I can express myself more to my satisfaction than most other languages.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Many that talk about languages fear Death, and other who talk about Death fear languages.Can you teach it to them?I definitely prefer it to Germanic-based languages.Hey!
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I wasn`t always a fan of French, but now I love it. I definitely prefer it to Germanic-based languages. I can`t stand Deutsche.Deutsch is an acquired taste. It can get kind of cool.But the r most Germans and French use should be banished from the Earth.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 You should try the Dutch G someday.It has driven foreigners mad!
Brónach 1,330 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I can do that. Unless I'm mistaken about what sound that is.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Yes the Spanish can do that.
