I'm all for anything the military folks think would be the best and most respectful.
That page I was working on, which was larger ribbons, couple photos to remind of them and a tiny bio - that was an add-on page to vB I coded in. I "might" be able to add something like that at the top of a particular thread, so that such a named thread will appear as a memorial of sorts. But no guarantees, that just sounds nice IMO. That page is a vB page, just not within the thread system but outside of it. It would need to be implemented in a manner to add the threads, but then exclude all others and load only per thread or per form - whatever you guys choose.
Or even just a nice thread where things can be posted and memories shared, and folks banned that would ever dare disrespect such a setup.
Or maybe a forum titled "Memorials" or whatever name you guys think best, and then an individual thread for each lost soldier. Opening post being the memorials that I would work on, and the rest would be members words posting.
If and when this place should ever die out - whatever memorials exist on it will remain as a static page to remain and paid for so long as I'm breathing. I'll buy a damn 40 year lease on the static page in advance if I gotta!
Lots of ideas in my head! But would rather hear from @
CSM if possible, @
Gunny of course & @
aboutime & @
Bilgerat & @
Mr. P & any other veterans on DP. And of course input from ALL is needed and respected. I'd rather build around what you guys prefer than what "I" like.
