What is this used for?
I run a motorcycle forum. Unfortunately the name of the game is injuries and death. It's hard losing a member, but sometimes, it's just as hard remembering that member later on. This page is dedicated to the loss of a good friend of mine, and a great forum member as well.

Is this your first mod?
Yes it is. I am not a programmer and learned enough to get this working after my friend had passed away.

How does it work?
You create a usergroup for your fallen members. When a member is moved into that usergroup they'll show up on this page with a simple anchor driven menu. There is 2 Profile fields which you need to populate with data which will show the members last death date and biography/obituary.

Ok. When you enter the ripdate you can change the format right in the profile. I'll work on figuring out how vB changes the birthday and post that up.

New version uploaded - you can swap the birthday from the vBulletin Options --> Remember Fallen Members. And in the profile field just enter the RIP Date in the format you want it in.

To upgrade - upload the new remember.php. In the product manager upload the product-remember.xml and choose allow overwrite.

Nice hack. Although I feel if you have that many people dying on your forum, lol there are bigger problems to worry about then.

[ZacUSNYR]

It's not a video game forum or a vbulletin help forum. It's a motorcycle (mostly sportbike) forum. Unfortunately motorcycle riders get the short end of of the stick in an accident. This is just a way to remember those members who we have lost. I wish we could stop all the deaths.

While I hope to never have a need for it, I appreciate your work in releasing this.

[Konstantinos]

nice idea. too bad that it will be unpleasant to be used.

When I first saw this, I wasn't expecting to ever have a use for it, but we lost our first member that we're aware the other day and are trying to come up with ways to make a tribute to him.

[ZacUSNYR]

I had lost 2 members previously in the year but did not know them. But I just lost someone who was a friend first and member second. That's when I came up with this. It sucks losing friends and members of your on-line community - sorry to hear about your loss

Hope to never a have a need for this, but thanks. Never good to lose a friend like that.
