I thought I would open up a new thread rather than cluttering the one sending condolences on the death of Robin McDonald (Duffy) with a forum suggestion.

I'm a mod on a large (125,000 plus) forum were we recently designated a membership category of "Eternal Member".

That move was well received by the members, and I would suggest the same be appropriate here.

Too many have made significant contributions to the forum over the years, and memories fade of them with their passing.

Food for thought, and I hope enough support that the admins can make the change.

Yup...good idea.

Might also be the one thing that we can all agree on...knock on wood.

I unbanned his name out of respect.

I didn't know Robin at all..but from what i have read on all the posts he seemed to be a pretty good Guy..this move to unban his name shows how much he was respected...very nice Alberta Bigbore.
My condolences go out to all his family and friends on AO as well as outside of the AO forum.

I would also like to say i am in agreement with avb3..Good Idea!

A noble idea that most of us should find easy to support. After all, we are all potential candidates!
I trust Robin McDonald can readily make it onto this list.

Great Idea...

On another note maybe we could have a list of the infamous as well, such as Whitetailer, HWF, Wilbur etc...

And the avatar could be a black dodge dually...

Very well said.

I put a smile on my face and brought a tear to my eye to see Ken (AKA Savage) Taylor's wife and daughter write into AO this past month.

I never tangled with Duffy, never really spoke with him. His opinions and mine did not always match up and they were never hot button enough for me to wade in to discuss them.

I sincerely like this idea of eternal members and would gladly support this being applied to him. He was part of huge board, part of our outdoor community, and deserves to be recognized for it.

Have a look at Duffy4 profile for your answer :)

His status, rightfully so, is now "gone hunting".....

Perhaps Robin wouldn't want to be a " Eternal member" here. He got crapped on regularly and then banned . seems like rubbing salt in the wound to me:thinking-006:
