THANKS ADMIN, In Memoriam page. RIP Duers.

There are names with avatar and a link to an appropriate post about their passing.

I did a quick search and didn't see a notice in GD, if there is already, please let me know and I'll delete this.

Thread in Announcements in case you notice someone missing or want to say thank you there.

I don't think I have met many people who can match his amazing sense of humor. But those who come close, I have also met here on DU.

And you never forget that.

Every time I have moments of HATING this stupid place, I remind myself that without it, I would have never met you and several others who have made my life so much richer.

and dang, 180 has been gone a long time.

One thing I sorta noticed missing were some long time DUers.

Dookus/Monkeyfunk
OldLeftieLawyer/Tangerine Labamba
Khashka

True, they got booted, some multiple times, but they made some friends here too, and made tens of thousands of posts, and, for better or worse, certainly WERE a part of this community.

And, you're 100% correct - they helped make this place what it is.

She was SO nice to me. She loved the soundtrack to A Bronx Tale and burned me a copy and mailed it to me all the way from New York. Man, I loved that disc. I loved her very much. Gawd, I am crying now.

Just taking time to shed a tear over so many old friends who left so soon.

Andy Stephenson, khephra, nostamj, oneighty, eggbeater, alarcojon, Monkeyman, Sapphire Blue, rebel with a cause, OldLeftyLawyer, Senator...

Their voices are missed. Today's DU isn't quite the same. The bedrock shifted a bit.
