I didn't know about Exit10 and Purple Fan. Sad to hear of it.
There's also Dr Bob of the Classical Mensans, though I'm not sure of the exact username and Socalmiguel.

RIP Exit 10, she was one of the editors who helped me for my 1st quiz at Fun Trivia. There was also ArleneRimmer from my team Quiz Makers Guild who has written quite a few good quizzes. I propose that in addition to the wonderful ideas of tributes you people have already shared why don't we also keep a list of members who are now deceased.

I don't really like the idea for a new team, seems somewhat macabre, and their team affiliation should remain what it was at the time they were active on FT.

NoraB passed away 4 years ago. It would have been nice if her star shiny teeth grillwork had remained her avatar rather than the bag she now shows us.
Her family works at keeping her facebook page alive. They'd probably have done that here too if technological circuits had been able to remain open. Which brings up an idea to add a message area on the profile page where others can leave notes in memorial (maybe convert the current global challenge block to a new purpose?)

I wanted to inquire as to what became of these Funtrivia members: Minch, Nightmare, Lord Digby, Miss Linda, Miss India and Junior the Jaws. Haven't seen these six people for a long time now and they were pretty active once.

Nightmare and Junior the Jaws are both alive, just not visiting Funtrivia.

How do you know if someone passes way? We had a teammate who had a stroke and disappeared for awhile and then rejoined after he got better.He started from scratch and is doing great!

Please include my teammate, Adam. His FT name was adzparadox. I think this is a great idea.

We found out after we queried why someone had not been on the site for a while. Some team members then Googled their names and found the details on line. On one of them their Sister actually signed onto their page and made us aware by posting on the team notice board, although we did already know by that point.

Should anything be done to mark deceased members then we would wait to be informed by someone, no one from our staff will be researching the absence of a player.

I had no idea about PurpleFan or Exit10, and she wasn't very old either. That was a terrible shock. Dr Bob was my team leader, he had to stop due to ill health but I'm not certain he actually died since but someone on it will know for certain.

I've been informed that Tigershark79 passed away, a week after seeing a doctor! Barely time to say goodbye. No matter what Fun Trivia decides to do, Lysa will forever be in my memories.

The yellow rose is nice. It's a happy image and that brings happy memories.
I would want to be remembered with a smile rather than a tear.

Asking the same question again.
Has any progress been made on this?

Terry's been away from the site for a little while on a vacation (well-deserved I'd think). I'm sure it's a possibility but not confirmed quite yet.
