A slightly different topic, though related in an absent former members perspective.
We have a dove icon that signifies the passing of a member. But how do we know if a member's passed away? If I got trashed on my bike for instance no one on the site would know. I'd just become inactive on the forum and I'd soon be forgotten forever.
I'm not sure I like the idea of conversing daily with other members, and even though unlikely ever to meet in person, you end up looking on those people as friends. And then they disappear all of a sudden and you don't know if they've just got bored and moved on, or passed away.
It would be nice to know, somehow, and then maybe a tribute post created to remember them. A bit morbid I know, but just thinking out loud.
