1.1.01.01.035: standard variations.
Sep. 12th, 2011 02:29 pmRelated to my inmate's last post - we had an idea, and not just about that particular situation, but in general.
Normally, I'd take this to just the wardens, but I think it really does affect everyone, so I'll make it public.
At home, we have something called the Book of the Gone - where we keep records and testimonies to those who have died and provided good service to the Collective.
I was thinking, perhaps, we could do something similar: except everyone can write in it, and maybe it ought to be more public. I was thinking we could get a noticeboard, some bits of card and a pen, and people can write something to remember people that have left - for whatever reason - by.
As I think perhaps it's a little easy to forget people were here, as most other evidence of them is removed, and it's especially important to remember people that have graduated and moved on. If only as evidence that it can, indeed, happen.
I'd be happy to manage the noticeboard, and make sure people don't use it as a way to anonymously insult people who aren't here. If you have issues with someone that's left, perhaps they're best discussed with your friends, rather than posted in public. I'd take down anything insulting, and keep copies of all entries, so if one goes missing, it can be replaced.
I guess it's sort of a way of acknowledging that these people were here, and did impact on us. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the idea, and any changes I could make. If nobody really likes it, I can find my own use for the noticeboard.
[Warden filter] [Filter removed, now open to the public.]
And I believe it is customary to vote on such things, so... for, against, suggestions for change?
I'd like to think it's a beneficial idea.

I'd like a large magnetic noticeboard and about 100 small magnets, please.
