I would say a handful of close family and another small selection of friends would be saddened by it at the time. But most of them wouldn't take too long to get over it I don't think.

In a way that sounds quite disturbing, in an interesting sort of way.

I know of about 3 or 4 people that would probably be genuinely upset. I imagine quite a few people pretending and putting on a show of sorts. If they would really miss me when I died wouldn't you think they'd try to see if I still existed now? I mean seriously; I have family living within a 10 mile radius that I haven't talked to for years.

Really, only my parents and a couple of friends would even remember that I was dead.

Not sure. I just hope I get cremated. Don't want my stinky carcass to take up too much room, they're going to need it in the future with the human race's current exponential growth.

I guess my family would be sad. I can think of a few people who would be bawling.

It may seem like I'm being casual about it, but honestly, I don't know what to think about it. As long as I don't die young, I'm okay with death.

My "close" family would be sad for reasons I can't even comprehend.

I'm sure that happens occasionally on the internet when people don't know the dead person's Facebook page especially. The person just disappears suddenly and never logs in again, and nobody knows why.

I would hope that my family and friends spend more time celebrating my life rather than mourning my death.

My friends and family would be devastated. I'm quite unique and the world usually notices when someone unique is missing.

Other than family I would disappear like I was never here.

That idea sort of worried me on another forum. I saw loads of posts from people who seemed to be popular, but didn't come on the site anymore. A friend of mine on there went away one week and I was worried an accident would happen to them and I'd never see them again, and i wouldn't even know. That idea scares me. :pale:

~ahem~ Having posted here for several years...
I'm sure this has happened. (Since you can't contact people here outside of these boards, unless you're a good friend and get another e-mail.)
But there was one episode that was very sad indeed when a member committed suicide, and a friend let us know, and there was grieving here.

Some would cry, some would smirk, some would shake their head, some would throw a party, some would utter the word bastard
