Irate Visitors Rage Here, If You Must.

They can't open a new account and come back, can they? Everyone knows this is meant to be a respectable site for decent law-abiding death-watching folk.

They can and often do, unfortunately. When they get bored of doing that, they can join a crusty little alternative forum with two incels and an ageing convict.

I just thank the Mods for not only dealing with this person immediately, but you were able to take the disgusting start posts that he put up off the site completely. The titles themselves turned my stomach.

Welcome back all!

 

So @Paul Bearer, @Death Impends, which one of you did a Martha Stewart and stopped paying the bills?

It said it was for updates. The only new thing I can see is an additional reaction (a red heart)?

you just dont understand the hard work it takes to add such a feature

(Furiously checking earlier this morning to see which obits I'd made mental note of yesterday had now been posted and which once hadn't, then going about adding the missing ones.)

The red heart was added at @Toast's request by @Death Impends but had gone through and was available prior to the site going down. 

 

I was quite worried there for a bit, that was a long 48 hours! Hello everybody!

I'm fairly sure that's a euphemism for, as you first suggested, somebody hasn't paid the bill.

And for sure the heart thing was there before the site went down.

Nothing to do with paying a bill.  It was a server issue.

Sorry, I was joking. But probably not obvious. No offence Paul.

My heart (not to mention thoughts and prayers) went out to you at such a desperate, tragic time.

Big arse webpage update and returns with no chat room.  
Disappointing.

I don't think there was an update. 

[En Passant 3,731]

Turns out there's a site (of sorts, more of a twitter/x page) that is currently attracting even more ire than we have historically - including now a Scottish MEP which has made front page news.

It's in Spanish and apparently ranks countries by the number of their respective tourists that will be going home in a body bag due to having fallen from a balcony.

The UK currently tops the, cough, "ranking".

I am back for the third time from the other side of the ocean to provide another excellent suggestion to you jolly blokes on a way the DeathList could provide a public service to all while encouraging a cheeky sense of mischief and also increase our relevance within society. Since all of the unfortunate curmudgeons voted down the LifeList and expanding our presence on social media with energetic videos, my inspired suggestion this year is to have an old-fashioned morality-focused list that we can use to teach the youth -- the Deadly Habits List. This idea, I am firmly confident the honorable TQR, the distinguished Perhaps, and the dubious Jimmy Carter mango fellow among others will endorse.

 

We would get a URL specifically for the young rapscallions, maybe kids.deathlist.net, and we would have a list of 50 alliterative names representative of terrible habits that stick right in their minds like a wad of bubble gum. We would include a charming poem similar to the ones at the beginning of those whimsical Berenstain Bears books explaining what these chaps are doing wrong and how they can stop those habits so they can live long and prosper. Every year, we will "redeem" 25 archetypes on the list and switch them up. If we get big enough, we could also have theatrical performers act out some of the woeful wrongdoings to charming narration--hopefully supplied by the Paul Bearer guy.

 

Just to show an example of the concept, #12 would be Glutton Greg. The poem would be under the entry like so

Greg likes to eat from morning to night/Any grub in the kitchen, he's game for a bite/Why every hour he's having a feast/But look at poor Greg, he's simply obese

He has trouble with doors and sitting at tables/After walking a block, his legs get unstable/He gets laughed at in class, the kids are so mean/It's easy to shun him, his body's obscene.

Now friends let me tell you, this isn't your fate/Don't be like Greg and let food compensate/Be mindful of eating if you want to stay fit/Portion your food and wait just a bit

 

It is my hope once the wonderful parents see our work for the children through the Deadly Habits List, some of my other suggestions would become more plateable as these parents become a lovely part of our forum. We will also be able to show the Derby Dead Pool that we have heart and we will win the optics war against them.

Back to the ol' drawing board until this time around in 2025, I shall not give up until one of my annual ideas to use the DeathList to inspire and motivate people is approved by the masses on this forum and fully implemented. The DeathList as I have always said should keep its morbid reputation intact because it is all in jolly good fun to count up the celebrity deaths year after year, but it could be such a force of change if we put our heads together and worked to promote a human-focused message.

 

Also, your poem was delightfully devilish. One of the reasons why I am absolutely enthralled by this website and the people on it is that everyone speaks their minds so assuredly. This motivates me even more greatly to try harder and convert you to my side like Henry Fonda did with the jurors in "12 Angry Men" so congratulations for this backfiring on you.

 

Ta-ta for now.

It's nothing personal.   I had a similar issue but banned on my phone but was OK on iPad at home.  I'll do a quick ip check for you.

Tried Opera. There the site works normal. Puzzling.
