RIP THREADS

We dont need one for everyone who dies, there are five on the opening page. Unless its Charlton related can we just put them all in one thread?
It's getting like an obituary section in a local newspaper. I'm not cold hearted, just think there are way too many.

Sounds harsh but I’m in agreement.1

If there was more going on in the world perhaps there wouldn't be five on one page. A lot of those that have sadly passed away are part of many growing up for many of us and paying respects for some is the right thing to do.
There are still 45 other threads to look at on the page too so ignoring 10% of them shouldn't be that much of an issue should it?7 -
Can we get rid of lifers Birthday threads as well ?11

Yeah does come across as very cliquey tbhBedsaddick said:Can we get rid of lifers Birthday threads as well ?13 -
And they are currently numbers 6, 22, 24, 43 & 50. The last named are two that are Charlton related and the first three are a former England goalkeeper, one of the greatest racing drivers there has ever been and someone who was a comic genius to many. And all three of those died in the last 24 hours.Addick Addict said:If there was more going on in the world perhaps there wouldn't be five on one page.

Absolutely agree, it was silly when football was on, let alone now0

So RIP to the RIP threads....why not do more we don't like especially the political ones.3

I have to say I agree. I think some just spend all their time looking at the obituaries column.PopIcon said:We dont need one for everyone who dies, there are five on the opening page. Unless its Charlton related can we just put them all in one thread?

I mean why do celebs and the like get special treatment, is their death any more tragic than my next door neighbour?Why don’t we have a R I P thread for all the probable thousands that die every day around the globe?0 -
Thought it had turned into Charlton Death8

My point remains the same. Everyone who dies is special to some one. With all the COVID19 threads and the RIP threads it's become a bit morose and gloomy on here, I think the rest of the media have those angles covered.Addick Addict said:

Maybe you're the guy who loves a RIP thread.
That's all I have to say on this.

RIP threads are always a bit "meh" when you've never heard of the person, unfortunately, because sometimes it can come across as a bit of one-Upmanship.
But generally speaking, it doesn't really hurt.

On balance I'd say I don't have a problem with them each being their own thread. If it's for someone who meant something to me, I might open it and I might make a comment, otherwise I'll leave an RIP thread to die a death.3

Probably best for me to keep out of this one

I love the RIP threads1

It is pretty evident what the RIP threads are. If you see somebody that was part of your life and you want to pay respects, what is the problem? If you don't, don't open the thread surely.11

Or start another thread about RIP threads thus increasing the amount of RIP threads.16

Because you can still see the thread title, it can turn the place from what is (normally) a football forum to an obituaries section.MuttleyCAFC said:It is pretty evident what the RIP threads are.

We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Lots of people are currently dying and there is no new football on the tv. Hardly surprising?se9addick said:

So, as the OP suggests, why not have a single thread (unless Charlton related)? That way we can use all the other threads for arguing about politics.suzisausage said:

How inconsiderate of these people to all die on the same day. Maybe they could book a slot like online shopping so we can space the threads out over the course of a week.Given the Bonetti thread currently has 43 comments, TBT 55 and Sir Stirling 38 it could be a bit of a challenge to work out who you are RIP'ing if they were all lumped together in one thread.13

There is one. @AFKABartram started it a few days ago. But people aren’t using it.se9addick said:

I have no problem with them. I do have a problem with "reality TV" threads, so I just ignore them.8

I would have struggled to cope without the one concerning the original actress that played Peggy Mitchell in EastendersPopIcon said:We dont need one for everyone who dies, there are five on the opening page. Unless its Charlton related can we just put them all in one thread?
