Along with this, Jutta writes a computer thingy that sends a wellness check email automatically.

Then everybody who sees the "You okay (particular HB user)?" can post that they miss that person.

We already sort of do this but it's hit or miss. This would make sure we don't miss anybody.

Only do it for users that have a certain amount of posts obviously, no need for tracking transients just passing through.

Be kind of nice to let people know they're missed.

Of course if they're dead, well, guess it's good to know that too.

RU still around Didn't want to link it to the question about Vernon (who's links and websites all seemed to be down. But, I am happy to say, responded today) [pashute, Sep 19 2023]

Or break all your rules for yourself and join the Facebook Group. That is pretty much where I get my info, if not from here. Word of mouth there is relatively fast.

There’s a Facebook group?

//After a certain amount of time with no posts//

But I don't want to be getting emails every 5 minutes, I do have to go and make a cup of tea sometimes you know.

Yes, Hippo, they show photos of naked men riding their bikes through London. I've seen them. (Well someone has to moderate.)

//But I don't want to be getting emails every 5 minutes//

You'd just get one email after say... dunno, 2 years maybe? Then all other communication from fellow HBers would be on your post.

I see that the issue's been approached with various ideas, be cool to see one of those enacted.

Great idea. You choose to participate or not, and at what level. Not posted for some time, not posted for a moderately long time, not posted for a very long time. There needs to be a function included for “Send the defibrillator!”

Just passing through. Hi everyone!

Hi, [Ling]; did you return the defibrillator?
-- pertinax, Sep 30 2023


Yes, thanks. I am suitably de-fibbed.

If it doesn't work next time, I'll let you know...

Happy October everyone. Enjoy the costumes and candy. I wish I had a kiddo, I'd shower them with candy they could wear and costumes made to eat.
