Can we vote to retire the handle "Mooch" in honor of our missing friend, Joel.

I'm just saying that "Mooch" is an honored name amongst our membership. I would hate to think that anyone would try to use Joel's handle but still can we start a memorial for our fishing buddies that have passed? Kind of a fallen roll call to honor our membership as time passes.
Who better to be it's Ambassador then our beloved Mooch. Then theirs Chef who will always have a warm place also to those who knew him and celebrated his life.
Sort of a place of honor on our board. Honoring their handles by posting them as retired names. Just thinking out loud.....

No vote needed IMO.  Make it happen!

I think someone would be "swiftly educated" if it did happen….   

Can the login just remain active?
Rather than retire it, just let them stay as if someday they'll log back in...

Maybe Mooch will try to "send" us  messages?

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for.  By keeping the accounts active, the names are reserved.  Let me know if there is something more you are thinking about.

Come to think of it, Chef is part of the OG membergroup.  He is the sole member.  I had thought about adding Mooch to it, but it seemed more appropriate to leave him in the Manatee group.  Perhaps retire Manatee as a Usergroup, only allowing Mooch to be the sole member,  much like Chef is OG.

Excellent idea Allen!

can you make the post count for the Manatee group be EXACTLY the same as Mooch's post count?  MEaning not a range, but a single value. Then at worst someone will move into that group for one post

Sonny will need his own mascot then, too!

How about "Sailfish"?   

being  a newb here I don't want to tread where I may not be welcome.

Since I did not know Mooch and the other members you all know and loved ,there might be a way to elevate their status as a tribute to their life and their continuing spirit..If you think it`s off base that's fine and I would understand....maybe elevate them to either Posiedon (Greek) or Neptune (Roman)

 Greek and Roman mythology has them both gods of freshwater and the sea.

Just an idea.

I think that's a great idea. Allen how about a separate exclusive level for our departed,Mooch/Chef : Honored Roll Call of the Neptune Class

Great idea!

Neptune ....  LOVE IT!
