If you were to die today, then would you want the Mingle2 community to learn about your death?

If your answer to the above question is “Yes”, then who would give the news about your death to the Mingle2 community?

Would one of your surviving relatives be able to post a notice about your death on this website?

If your answer to the above third question is “No”, then who would your surviving relatives contact in order to inform the Mingle2 community about your death?

At this moment in time, I do not have the real name and regular e-mail address of any other Mingle2 participant. So, if I were to die today, then nobody at Mingle2 would know.

Who here besides me is in this particular situation?

How do we remedy the situation?

no.
if i died within the month and for whatever random reason someone decided to contact everyone in my cellphone,
that'd be all bad,
but they'd find ese's and romeo's numbers in there.
if i die more than a month from now,
no one will eva know.

Bianca,

I hope that the topic of this thread will not pertain to you for a very, very long time. You still have too much living to do.

Soufie,
What are Mingle rules concerning this topic?
I would imagine that if someone outside of the person holding the account, if they had the passwords could come on and announce his or her passing and delete information, but I am sure there would be a problem if an ex kept comming on and saying someone has passed,( and they have not passed ) shut down the account, all just to tick of the ex with the account here.

I suppose that would be the considerate thing to do. Otherwise, all they would know is that I just stopped posting.


If your answer to the above question is “Yes”, then who would give the news about your death to the Mingle2 community?


I don't know, there really isn't anyone who would have that information.


Would one of your surviving relatives be able to post a notice about your death on this website?


I don't have any relatives.


If your answer to the above third question is “No”, then who would your surviving relatives contact in order to inform the Mingle2 community about your death?


Same as above.


At this moment in time, I do not have the real name and regular e-mail address of any other Mingle2 participant. So, if I were to die today, then nobody at Mingle2 would know.

Who here besides me is in this particular situation?


I guess I would have to consider myself in that same situation.


How do we remedy the situation?


I'm not sure it's feasible.

Pain is worse than death. Coming from someone who went there and back recently.

As for your question this has happened more then once since I have been here.

What will the site do? First of all we are a bit nosey therefore we go searching for the obit! If in fact we do find one we leave the account open for a bit for the family and give them a option to close the account within their time frame needed.

When Nascarcutie passed away her son did in fact log on to her account to let us know. But...he had also logged on in the past due to she had cancer to update us from time to time.

Sad for she had just about beat the cancer and was killed in a car wreck by a drunk driver..

The site does not take a matter like this to be the truth unless we are postive due to hackers and mad exes......

If in fact no relatives do log on to the members account that has passed away, the site will give a mourning period before deactivating the account. But as I said this is only after we have confirmed it if we can.

Humm as for the topic had to go look to see how many numbers from here I have their numbers....Lmao I have 18 members phone numbers, but my kids do not know them. Guess if I'm MIA someone would have to call my number to find out what happened.

There are a few members that live close enough and know where I live if it came down to that they could find out something by leaving a note ect at my house for my kids to find.

My kids know I'm on this site but don't have my password. All they have to do is log in to my computer to log into the site.

But then if something did happen many members here are linked to me on another site and would find out from there...

As for who would I want to post it here most likely those that I speak with on normal bases or Mark which is a dear friend and of course any of my Texas buddies....

I always wonder what will happen to my websites when I die. They may live on for as long as my server can deduct their payments from my bank.

I would give my Minglet username and password to one of my stepsisters, seeing as they are so close to me. I'd ask them to post an announcement about my death before i died. As dying, may sometimes be mistaken for someone simply not logging on, anymore. I'd just rather they knew for sure. Don't ask anyone older than you to announce it, cos they may die before you do. Eh, this subject is kinda depressing me. lol

I agree that, if a death announcement is posted, then it should include a link to an obituary.

Well, I'm sure there are a few people here who would like to pay their respects and what not, so yes I would like Mingle to be informed. Anyone who had access to my laptop could give the news, my usernames and passwords are auto-filled, so they would just have to look in my browser history and visit the site.

Are you facing death?

Funerals and calling hours are for the living, it's not up to me what happens when I'm gone. I just want people to know, it's ok and not to take it too hard. Death is just another part of life.

My sites will disappear once I'm gone, but I would like for someone with a passion to inherit at least my main site. That would be awesome if they turned it into the next GoDaddy, or even bigger. I never really thought about that until now, but it is a pretty cool thought.

Exactly. Who cares anyway? Certainly not me if I'm dead. Mingle will be the LAST thing I'm worried about.

My children know that I am on here and I have ask them to come on and tell everyone that I have passed (when that time comes). I have a list of my passwords with all my important papers...After going thru hell with my moms estate, I have everything needed so my kids won't have to go thru that...flowerforyou
