Inspired by another thread. If you suddenly died.....

Michael, we would notice.

My kids know to tell you all. The sites I frequent are easily available and they would say something.

Dh and DD both post on the DIS, but I doubt either would think to do it. DD is 14 and I am sure it would never occur to her. I do have a cousin who is on the DIS and she probably would. I only post on the scrapping board and here. I have friends on the scrapping board, but I doubt I would be missed here.

Marie would stop by and make a post. I asked this same question years back, lots of interesting replies.

 

[kimwim8]

Wow! I had never thought about that! DH knows how much I love the DIS, and I do consider some DISers "friends", but haven't built up any strong friendships on the side yet.

I really doubt DH would think about posting anything on the DIS, and if he did, there aren't too many people that would remember me, I think. (I don't mean that in a "poor me" way, but compared to others here, I'm not well known).

 

[Blondie]

A few that I've become close to over the years have my phone number. I hope they'll call if they notice my absence, 'cause my DH sure isn't coming here to tell anyone!

 

[Keli]

My dh would definitely post something on the DIS but my dd would probably beat him to it. They both know how much I read and enjoy this board so they'd be sure to let people know.

I bet someone would miss every DIS'er if they just stopped posting. I know it would shock some people that have just taken temporary DIS breaks to know I was wondering about them since I've never pm'ed them or anything. I generally don't post a "Where's so and so..." type of thread when one of my favorite posters moves on but I do notice their absence and wish they'd come back.

I remember that thread!!

I do not believe my DH would come here to announce my passing. He knows I come here frequently but that's about it. I don't think he'd even think of it. I have maybe one DISer that I rent DVC points to who might find out eventually and tell some here...maybe!

 

[ducklite]

My husband would call some of my friends who lurk but don't post much on the Dis. He's also call one of my friends who is a regular on Cruise Critic, and the guys who manage the bands whose boards I moderate, and they'd pass it along to those boards. Eventually it would end up on my MySpace and that's how some of my other friends who are in other circles would find out.

Let me just say in case "Loved my time here. I learned a lot made a few friends and passed some time. I wouldn't take back a minute. Goodbye dear friends. I'll miss you"

Cause you'll never know when I'm gone.DH knows I post but wouldn't think to come here and announce my passing.

 

[mickeyboat]

Dh would probably not think to tell the "DISfreaks" of my passing (his term, not mine). But I have a friend at work who has been instructed to notify you. I think I will remind her again.

Now, if I should pass, I expect my memorial thread to be filled with tears and hugs, but more than that, pictures of cocktails. Everyone tip a glass back for me, will ya?

[eclectics]

My posts would stop, people would cheer...

In my case, I'm sure a few will do cartwheels!

 

[pamlet]

My oldest son would probably do it - tho' I doubt anyone here would recognize me...

Though recently on another board I frequent a VERY beloved member passed away - it's a fairly small board... It was so VERY sad - it's a tight little community. In a way I surprised myself by breaking down when I read the news. She was one of those posters who NEVER said anything negative or mean to ANYONE. She was a remarkable woman in cyberspace - and apparently in life - as we had a number of members who posted about her funeral that they attended!

 

[sha_lyn]

I have a few IRL friends here, and my DS and DSis both have posted here in the past. On most of the other forums I post on I have IRL friends. the only one I can think of that would probably go unnoticed is a scifi forum, and a fanfiction yahoo group. However I my DS might eventually pass the info onto the Scifi site since he knows I frequent it often. I've even logged onto it from his account, so he has access ro my account.

 

[KelNottAt]

I think I would pass unnoticed. Kind of sad.

Me too. Exactly.

 

[joshsmom]

My mom and my DS9 both know I post here, but they wouldn't even think to tell anyone. I don't have a husband, boyfriend, or anyone else close to me that understands my Disney obsession and all the friends I have made here over the few years I've been around. So, if the posts stop, I'll see you all on the other side someday!

 

[Mimi Q]

I don't know if DH would post anything or not. He calls the DIS the cult in jest, but he knows how much it means to me.

For the posters who stated no one would even miss you, I recognize almost all your user names, and I hope you don't go anywhere anytime soon.

 

[mom2boys]

Nope. You'd never know. I'd just vanish into cyberspace.

My husband just doesn't get the DIS - doesn't see a need for me to DIS unless we are planning a trip - still thinks I'm obsessive about it.

 

[Dreamer04]

Its funny, but I was actually thinking about this recently.

Although, I talk about the DISboards constantly, I don't think anyone I know IRL, is aware of the sense of community we share. So it wouldn't occur to DH or anyone else, to post the announcement.

As for being missed, it would take some time before anyone realized I was gone.

 

[jenny2]

The only website DH knows how to get to is Ebay, so no - he wouldn't be coming here to tell you that something happened to me. However, my IRL friend pattyt would be on here in a heartbeat to let you all know (as I would do for her).

 

[MsLeFever]

I've told my DH to be sure to come and post should anything happen to me. I don't know if he'd actually remember to; but hopefully some of the WPASADI people who have my other e-mail addys would come looking eventually!
