A farewell to maggots

For many years we have included a sticky to Meet the Maggots to impress upon the guest the importance of these forums.

The collective has seen endless friendships launched, couples married, and sadly, seen maggots pass as well.

For many of us the wounds of losing our friends will never heal. Some were taken doing the exact activities that have brought us together, leaving a profound and ironic sting, while other members of good standing have simply departed.
The community feels both losses, and it's our intention to dedicate this subforum for the purpose of memorializing the maggots that are fondly and forever missed.

While we hope to keep the number of these threads down by playing it safe, we also know that none of us get out of here alive. If you have memories to share, please feel free to do so, so that these threads can remain fitting tributes to forever inspire from their stoke, laughter, kindness, and adventure they brought the community.

If we have missed any Maggots Down that should also have been included, please also drop a pm or post so we can fix it.

Thank you.

Fantastic idea. Thank you for creating a place where it's easy to go back and remember one another. I love it.

THANK YOU for doing this. Our fallen mags definitely deserve the tribute.

:yourock:

Edit: sorry, i did not notice this was a new sub. I think it took a few to show up on Tapa but more likely I'm just dumb. Could be both.


Thanks mods!

I didn't catch at first (seeing only this thread) that this was a sticky in an entirely new subforum.

Thanks mods :yourock:

Condolences to all who have lost friends and loved ones. And TBH, aren’t our friends also ‘loves ones’ anyway? [emoji20]

This is a work in progress, but I'm glad for a place to start.

An option could be another sticky where people can post pictures or links to TRs. That would allow us to keep the memorial threads mostly as they are.

Also, if we have missed anyone it was not intentional. Post any names, or send a pm and we'll make additions.

Yeah, sorry, I edited my comment, I thought this was a sticky under an already existing sub and based my suggestion upon that. sorry for the pollution of the sticky. Awesome idea!! They way I'd thought is way less cool (though still well-intentioned) than this!!

I changed "this space" to "this subforum" in the first post and made it link that goes to this entire subforum. Hopefully that makes it a little clearer that it is a whole subforum?

Very cool.

Pour one out for DangerWoman.

Nice job mod team.

Don't think there was a thread created for straightlineorbust who passed in the Wilson Glade incident on Feb 6th, 2021. My lasting memory of him was briefly running into him atop the cirque at Snowbird while my buddy and I were about to ski Great Scott. Living up to his username, the dude straight lines the entire thing. RIP

Thanks. I'm not sure it's appropriate to move the Slide Zone thread into here so it might make sense to make a new thread in here with a link. Looks like there's a picture of him in there that might be good to include.

Michelle was an honorary maggot if not a maggot. She posted a few times under a alias long gone, and used mine more than a few times. She hosted some legendary parties and left too soon.

someone beat me to moving it.

Good to see you posting, frozen.
