Removing Skkorp's Final Post

[nidan]

After talking with Shaggy he suggested I post this question, to see what people thought.

I just noticed that Skkorp's final postings were removed from this forum as a sticky and call me old school but I think it's wrong.

I get that we have a remembrance forum but Skkorp is different, he created this place, he got us media access. IMO That sticky should remain there as long as there is an ASFN.

I know we have new folks who are probably saying "Who was Skkorp ?" but to most of us he is the founding father of ASFN when nobody cared about the Cardinals.

Comments ?

It would be like removing Charles Bidwills name from the ROH

He created this, it stays for eternity!

NO BRAINER!!! Put it back. Shaggy and Iceman are great owners and I am so grateful for them stepping up and keeping this place going. But, the soul of the place is due to Skkorpion.

Some of my favorite Cardinals memories, period, are sitting next to Skkorp in his wheelchair at training camp in Flagstaff and talking about the practice, the players, the coaches, etc.

Why would it be a big deal to leave it up?

I say leave it up.

Funny, but I was just thinking of Skkorp today while reading the thread about rating one's life this year. Anyone who got to know Skkorp, and how he went out of his way to welcome and support every member of this board, knows how profound and everlasting his legacy is. His last posts are a great reminder of what the spirit of this board was always meant to be.

Plus, today was also a day to think about Skkorp because his Notre Dame Fighting Irish were playing in Glendale at the Fiesta Bowl.

Thank you, Nidan, for bringing this up. I hope, Shaggy, that you will bring Skkorp's post back and keep the sticky on it for good. Without Skkorp, ASFN wouldn't be what it is today.

[English on tour]

Couldn't agree more. Get it up there.

 

[gmabel830]

Definitely keep it up there.. and props to Shaggy/Iceman for suggesting this be put up for public discussion.

Objectively, I'm curious as to what the issues are in leaving it up permanently. Yes, the board has new ownership, and in my view Shaggy and Iceman have been awesome and moved the forum forward in healthy and constructive ways.

I wouldn't be posting here without Skkorp's legacy however. It didn't take long for this to be the only Card's forum I post on.

What I mean by legacy: I posted under a different handle back then, but after my first day posting I received several PM's from longtime members requesting I read through his posts and some of the hall of fame threads. This wasn't done maliciously, but as more of a welcome to the neighborhood, this is what we're about, and you aren't it (haha). I didn't post again for a week, as I read through all his posts and all the HOF threads. Every one.

I still fall well short of those goals, but the ideal is one I still believe in. This forum has a degree of thoughtfulness. It also displays honesty, compassion, and sensitivity. I made this my Cardinals home, and Skkorp and those lives he effected on this board are the reason.

Leave it up permanently. It doesn't detract from new ownership, it enhances it. It's the foundation. We should never forget those who worked so hard to make this place what it is. Without that, we lose our way.

Sounds like those goals are closer than you think. Nice post.

Instead of a Ring of Honor it would be a thread of honor
