Well done for starting this thread millertop. I think we all know someone who has been a millers fan and has sadly passed. A great way to remember them and celebrate their lives. Maybe the mods should just set up an obituary thread so we can keep doing that.


To all those mentioned on here RIP.

The other tbing mods could do is to open a millers births thread for newly arrived millers again whom we all know from time to time. Could we have these as stickys maybe? I dunno....?

How times (and MM opinions) change. Some years back I asked BigRich why MM wouldn't post tributes to some lifelong Millers when they died. Rich stated that it was MM policy that only those Millers who had been active on MM got a mention. He said to try and cover others was impractical and in his view wrong in principle. Contribution to MM was the deciding factor. Every poster - several of whom are still on here - agreed with him and the consensus was my idea was "daft". Rich is an honest guy; he'd confirm the truth of this. I thought about it and decided Rich and the consensus view was right and that it only made sense to mention people with direct links to MM, regular posters or at the very least members. What was right then is still right today and this nonsense is just pathetic virtue signalling.

Some times it's better to just keep quiet, write nothing and accept that times have changed!

Being insensitive to that can make you look really pathetic! I will expect you to respond to this but I do warn you in advance that I won't take anything other than an apology.

Wow I didn’t realise you knew these people and know for a fact they didn’t come on here previously, some of which might have stopped due to idiots

If you want to be a **** and wind people up them do it on another thread preferably your own.
