[malaise]

When will tombstones return? Asking for a friend.

[ProfessorGAC]

1. Troublemaker!

But, now that you bring it up, I guess I miss those, too!

[malaise]

2. Those were great times

Here lies a disrupter

[Poiuyt]

3. Okay

[ProfessorGAC]

4. BTW

My wife found a real nice photo of Bob playing an early Taylor guitar at the local dollar store, for a buck.
It's a really calming photo. Dark tones. Almost looks sepia.
I put it on the piano in my music room!

9. Back in the day, when a poster got kicked off DU for bad behavior,

a tombstone emoji would show up in place of their message. People called it "getting tombstoned" and there were lots of jokes about sending someone a pizza, etc.

[johnp3907]

16. That sounds like fun!

[Crunchy Frog]

33. I thought it showed up in their profile. Or maybe my memory's shot.

It was definitely more fun than what we have now.

[Turbineguy]

18. The famous

Granite Pizza.

[MuseRider]

8. Yes!

I brought that up on the very first thread when Grovelbot showed up. I loved the tombstones. I hated when they were stopped.

I don't know why exactly but it was just the right amount of fun when putting away someone who supported Bush**/Cheney.

It would feel double good with Trumpass in office.

10. Look what I found when I was searching for

a tombstone with here lies a disruptor - this thread was hilarious

15. The fudge recipe

I read somewhere else that she always told people, "I'll give you that recipe over my dead body!"

Don't know if it's true, but I like it.

[Hekate]

34. Woohoo! My Schadenfreude Dance!

I always wanted a tiny smilie with that dance. It could happen.

[MuseRider]

You are standing on my boobs just cracked me up. Thanks for posting that!

[malaise]

27. I told you I was sick

[MuseRider]

28. I see dumb people

was pretty funny too.

If I was to have a place of rest I would spend the rest of my days trying to think of something funny like that.

[malaise]

29. LOL

I'm going to the medical faculty

[MuseRider]

30. I wanna be mixed

with the ashes of my dogs, cats and horses then with my brothers and just scattered wherever or dumped in my pond. What little I have done that has made difference on this planet will go with me. Still........it would be fun to close it all out with something clever.

[malaise]

31. Very cool

and it would be fun to leave something clever in writing

20. Disrupters don't deserve tombstones

Feed ‘em to the hogs & forget ‘em. I don’t want GD trolls to have a memorial they can brag about to the other butt monkeys on whatever MAGAt-infested website they came from.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

32. i bet that is why they did it.

long time lurker, and recall reports of bragging on those sites which shall not be named.

[Hekate]

35. I miss the pizzas, but I also miss getting to bat the trolls around a bit while awaiting delivery

Good times, good times.

[malaise]

36. LOL

That was so much fun
