Seem to be getting a lot of RIP threads started recently, some very obscure tbh. (See dolphin RIP thread...!)

Is it time to have a separate forum where these can be posted and where they won't fade into obscurity after a day or two.

Also will be a place where people will know where to look, especially friends/family/fans of those passed if there is a personal connection?

Thoughts?

Was there a RIP Rip Torn thread? If not, why not?

They were amazing threads. I’ll certainly miss them.

This, absolutely. NSC RIPs could really do with equivalent sub-forum as the Obituary Column that your nan used to pore over in her local paper. Reckon Dolphin RIP was the straw that broke the camel's back. RIP camel

Can we all choose which topics go on the main board? If so can we get rid of betting, boxing, cricket, away ticket, and non-league threads? I'm not interested in them and would rather they didn't clog up the main board, thanks.

Though I think if we all get to pick what threads don't make the big board, we might not be left with much. I'm sure there are some that don't like the in-fighting and negativity you get in match day threads so even they'd have to go...

A hide thread option like the hide post option on FB would be nice. I know you don't have to open a thread if you are not interested, but sometimes just seeing it in the main list can be very irritating

My immediate thought is no. If the person concerned creates a lot of interest then the thread will stay at the top for a long time naturally.
This is, after all, a football forum...

It clearly isn't. Else many of us wouldn't give it the time of day. And today alone there's been RIP threads on the main board for FW De Clerk and for some random dolphin. What's that all about?

IMHO the ultimate tribute to NSC came from some other football board in some shit northern town. Probably Burnley. Forget the exact wording but was something along the lines of 'eh bloody hell, they'll talk about anything other than football on there'
