harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted November 7, 2012 That's only post-upgrade. The record was around 400, I think possibly for Hunter or Hughes - one of those ranter occasions anyway. Or maybe it was when the Mindy McCready fanclub took a vacation here. Which Hughes? Surely not Geoffrey? What about when Jade Goody died? Surely that would've been pretty high Emlyn. And Paul the snooker player. Both threads are worth a re-read. Goody-googling brought fewer guests - the net's got bigger and the DL harder to find in the past few years. I'm surprised old CD has stayed near the top for so long, but I guess that not so many people google him...oh, I don't know, summat like that anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted November 7, 2012 In other news, black man gets second term in a white house. Bugger, no chance of a night of back to back Dad's Army just a load of Republicans who don't like it up 'em. (I do like the fact that the first person to post his death here was indeed a guest) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Strangelove 14 Posted November 7, 2012 RIP... But his death did make it to the news-headpage of the dutch Teletext, that's some claim to fame! I'm amazed that the dutch still have teletext. Haven't you gone digital yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted November 7, 2012 Aww I saw that he had finally gone and I thought of you guys here first. My commiserations as I know how much you will all miss him. Bit shocked he's finally left us. yea dunn was probably the only one that the majority of us on here didn't want to die . The thing im most pleased about is a record 160 people were online more than any other time in this website's history (including michael jackson's ,neil armstrong's deaths). So i think that is the biggest tribute . That's only post-upgrade. The record was around 400, I think possibly for Hunter or Hughes - one of those ranter occasions anyway. Or maybe it was when the Mindy McCready fanclub took a vacation here. I've only been here three years, in which Quantickgate brought us the most active-at-one-time, but I'm sure someone at the time said our record active members was for when yr man from One Man and His Dog carked it?

Paul Bearer 6,100 Posted November 7, 2012 From memory, the most on line was something like 421. I think it was on a December, not too sure the year, probably roundabout 2005-6. I'm sure I can find out if you REALLY want to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted November 7, 2012 What a shame he couldn't hold on for another 22 days, it would have marked DeathList's 26th birthday in style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted November 7, 2012 Breaching the resource limit of the site is a fitting tribute to the Dunnster. The big question now is surely, do we adopt another poster boy/girl (like Dickie O) or leave the position vacant as a tribute to a true one-off? Yes. Yes we do. Dickie O has my vote.

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted November 7, 2012 Can't believe it - I was at my dad's when I heard the news on the radio, he couldn't understand why I jumped up with my hands over my face shouting NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rotten Ali 600 Posted November 7, 2012 Sad for those close to him, but what a lovely chap bringing so much fun to landmark television programmes. Won't be the same DL but I feel we really should have a full 50 names every year and use the number 50 slot for just the type of wonderful British character actor like Clive Dunn who we all just don't want to lose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted November 7, 2012 I thought the end of the World was in December, not today?? I go for the 49 option, and retire Dunnie's jersey. After all, it's not as if the DL has had 50 all the way through... and to be honest, is never going to get 50 out of 50. RIP, a remarkable man, who, when I think of his work, only makes me smile. That I feel is a decent legacy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalmonMousse 25 Posted November 7, 2012 RIP Corp Jones Perhaps we should retire his number and next year have a 51. Is there a death list hall of fame? as for the ranters well they dont like it up 'em a sad day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted November 7, 2012 I too immediately thought of this site when I heard the news. Goodbye, Grandad (many my age of 30-40 must remember him primarily as that) Meteors, superstorms, earthquakes - none of that made me fear for the future of civilization. But the death of Clive Dunn? Now I'm scared... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted November 7, 2012 Unexpected news, although I had quiet doubts about his immortality. DL will never be the same. Retiring no. 50 and introducing no 51 on the list seems a fitting tribute. I suppose we should give lance-corporal Jones a send-off with full military honours. Could a delegation of Fuzzy Wuzzies be aranged? regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
