-What if the BBS was segregated into Pessimistic forums and Optimistic Forums? Wouldn't that just suck. Could you see everyone just agreeing with each all day? Perhaps this is why we need trolls, just to keep things interesting. -What if poster were to drop dead? How would we know? probably only if they were popular, kind of like in real life. I think I'll put a clause in my will about alerting the BBS that I'm dead. Something like a thread entitled: "Guess what guys... I'm dead" that would be most entertaining. Maybe I'll include some BBS members in my will. This is all of course presuming I live the most boring life in the history of the world. Great, now I'm picturing DoD and Behad fighting over who gets my liver. -What if Clutch turned the Tip Jar into the Swear Jar? Like everytime you said a naughty word on the BBS, the money would automatically go from your bank account to Clutch. -What if famous people do post on this BBS and just haven't revealed their identities yet? Like one morning we find out Baqui99 is really Clint Eastwood. That would be utterly strange getting to know someone famous just by reading their thoughts on the UT game or what they think about Wesley Clark. -What if the BBS become so popular everyone was using it, and there was even a recap show on E! every weekend. I can imagine Carmen Electra giving us the scoop... "The best Thread of the week was cleary Manny Ramirez's "I fell in love with my co-worker's best friend's aunt but she may be lactose-intolerant" which gained 87 replies.
That's something I have thought about as well. I actually thought it would be a nice little idea to start a web service where people could leave their "online will" and deposit messages to be sent to people to be notified etc. Of course, this would imply a mechanism where someone else would have to be entrusted to confirm the death. Or the sending out of the notices would have to be triggered by a certain period of inactivity. Oh well . If you had a look at my RTW thread, I hope I will still be posting in a month!!!

What happened to Holden anyway? Hmm...
At this rate, look for it next season! (Manny's gonna love this!) "The best Thread of the week was cleary Manny Ramirez's "I fell in love with my co-worker's best friend's aunt but she may be lactose-intolerant"
Oh moe, you rapscallion and scalawag, you! Any attention I can get from Carmen is most certainly welcomed.
Lord knows I could use a new one. Would I have to be a Raidah fan if this happens? Better let DoD have it. I couldn't possibly root for the Raidahs, and besides, he'd older and needs it more.
On another board there was a guy who claimed that he had a note in his wallet that his wife would find after he died. The note told her to go to the board and say what happened to him. Of course, if anything had ever happened I don't think anyone would have cared. The dude was an friggin ass...
