I was thinking how nice it would be for a section to be added to DR1 for members that have passed on. A little of there personal information with a photo so we would never forget them. Dr1 is a family of contributers that even with all the quibbling, bickering, and sarcasm, there is a special camaraderie that binds us together and our fallen should never be forgotten.
Robert put together something that is bigger then he probably ever dreamed possible, and another way to make it grander would be to honor our beloved fallen members. Robert, your thoughts would be appreciated......

I think the Memorial is a good think, to pay our tribute to contributions these members made to DR1 community and the world.

One thing though, are you burying this guy alive?

I think it is a good idea. I like the idea of being part of a family, albeit sometimes a dysfunctional one.

As far the aforementioned members who are now for sure in a better place, I can't think of any better examples of selflessness and conscientiousness.

I like this idea. Online memorials have been increasing in popularity for a while as well, it's a cheap and easy way to remember those who go before us.

This forum is odd in the fact that many of us have a fairly strong unifying bond, the fact we live in a strange' new 'country. Even though I don't agree with everyone on here and others are the same or even worse than I am and even if we haven't all met (and probably won't ) the unifying theme still exists.

Good idea.

Beyond the Beach Children's Foundation will be establishing a Memorial in Gregg's (Fireguy) memory in late October at the El Mundo Meijor Boys Orphanage in Higuey as a lasting tributee to his dedication to these boys.

With the low interest in doing a memoriam on Dr1, I doubt that Robert who makes the decision to do this, will even consider it. That's a shame......

Low interest? Don't be too sure...... I think most would support the idea even if they didn't jump on the bandwagon and post. I, for one, didn't post, yet I think you have a great idea, Waytogo.

Hi Lindsey, I wish it was my decision to make but it isn't. I haven't seen any response from Robert about this and he is the decision maker. And you may call me Barry.

Just my two cents but when a new idea comes along you kind of have to present the what, where and who/whom.

What form will this take place?
where are we going to post it? Example, in the media gallery or in a thread?
most of all who is going to take the responsibility of posting all the correct info of the person that has passed on along with their picture?

This is what needs to be worked out when making a new presentation/idea on DR1. ;)

Anna, thank you for an informative response. Obviously it couldn't be a thread unless it was a sticky, so, it could be a listing along with Resort reviews, Directories, Classifieds, News Archive, and Archive at the bottom of the page. As far as taking responsibility, why couldn't a moderator be appointed the position to oversee the posting of this information, and this information only. There are quite a few intelligent worthwhile members on this forum that would probably jump at the chance to be a part of this.
This is out of respect for members that have passed on and shouldn't be forgotten.
If I am being out of line please tell me so and I will not post anymore on this thread.

Yes your idea is good but just so you know we mods volunteered for our positions. No extra work is appointed unless a mod volunteers for it. Best to find someone that is interested in taking care of this and then present to Robert by pm.

Good luck
