Actually, yeah. I remember that 2 people were siblings who were in a car accident - their dad actually knew they posted there and made an account to tell us. One other person at another site had terminal cancer and a member who lived in the same city saw her obituary in the paper and shared it on the forum a few days later. One young woman's mother joined the forum to say her daughter committed suicide. And now, of course, I learned of Howard's passing with this thread.
The other three were more of a mystery but they were all connected to other members via Facebook and such. So that's how THOSE people found out, and then shared it with the rest of the board.
This makes me wonder now about other people who have not logged in here after quite some time...
