Twiggyish | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 07:09 pm     She was beautiful inside and out. |
Sia | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Admin, at one time Fly's profile included a link to her personal web-page. I remember reading it. She had her photos on the web-page. I don't see any problem with including her photo. What a beautiful and loving woman Bobbi was. She will be sadly missed. Thank you, Neil, for posting the photograph. |
Trishan | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:26 pm     Tami & Bobbi's (Flyonthwall) family, as well as the TVCH family, I did not have the privilege of getting to know Fly, (I only started posting recently, but had been lurking for a while) however, I read many of her posts, which immediately produced smiles... God bless you and keep you during this difficult time. When one of my uncles passed away suddenly, I found this hymn (written many years ago by Horatio Spafford upon losing his three daughters in a ship wreck) soothing to my soul: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Refrain: It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul. This too can be a consolation to all of you, she is now in God's presence. Respectfully, Trisha |
Admin | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 10:37 pm     I've seen people come and go from around here, sometimes out of boredom, sometimes because they don't get along and we banish them, sometimes out of resentment towards rules, sometimes for unknown reasons....but Fly is the first I've seen leave unwillingly without deserving it. Her loss makes me realize, once again, what a strong community of fun, honest, patient and caring people we have here and how much I want to see us continue together for a very long time. I hope you see that too. |
Abby7 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 10:52 pm     Thank you Admin for your post. Fly was a person who could make someone feel "special". Thank you Fly.

Jedisan | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 02:24 pm     bump. |
Vali | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 07:58 pm     I'm so very distressed to hear this news. Fly was someone I remember quite well from the BB threads when I first started posting. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. |
Alaginger | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 08:54 am     This lovely lady really did light up our TVCH boards, and I'm sure she shined that light everywhere she went. She will be sorely missed! |
Lucy | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 04:57 pm     I am just learning about Fly's passing and I am so terribly sad. What a wonderful, upbeat lady she was. To her family, I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you Admin for sharing this information with us, along with Fly's beautiful picture. |
Admin | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 07:47 am     Just a note to say that I've purchased the software upgrade and I'm working in my spare time on getting it going. As I said, there's a lot of work ahead to get our 'look and feel' and customizations into the new software, but it's progressing. The new software includes things like who posted last to a thread, how many posts a member has made, how long you've been a member, etc. There are some great technical things too like self-archving subtopics (we have to do it manually now) and better backups etc. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 07:49 am     um neil, do you know you are in fly's thread? lol. |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 07:54 am     Squared, see this message where Neil mentions the contributions made in Flyonthwall's name have made it possible to upgrade the board software. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:18 am     oh ok, shukran dra. and we are still bold. |
Admin | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:35 am     That's right. The idea to upgrade was always there, but it was this thread that pushed me over the edge to actually do something about the idea. I thought it fitting to let everyone know what was going on. Further upgrade discussions will take place elsewhere. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 10:23 am     well i belong to another board based in dc that is like what you mentioned above neil. where there is a counter for how many posts someone has done and they had a rankng system too. but this caused some kind of controversy so they stopped. but it still has pics(avatars i think they are called) under peoples nick's as well as their city and the date they joined. it would be really kool to have this here. adding my 2 cents here cause i didn't know where else to say it. |
Grannyg | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:43 am     Well, Since Fly is the one who got us all to thinking about making the board better, I think this is a dandy place to talk about making the board better. It's like she is watching us and making sure we do it right!! That's all she ever wanted was for us to be happy right here. |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 07:53 pm     I remember Fly posting a photo of her with a beautiful flower arrangement that someone from TVCH had sent to her...Do you think you could find it and post it in this thread... just a thought... She was such a beautiful soul, inside and out! |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 07:58 pm     oops... I posted then went to Dra's suggested link and see that you have already posted a photo of our lovely Fly. Disreguard above request. |
Whoami | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:19 pm     Since the software upgrade will be in Fly's memory, may I suggest somewhere on the title page, there be a fly icon? Maybe even the one Max posted on August 01, 08:07 am Those of us who remember her will know what it is. New memebers that want to know can ask, and we can tell them. I want to make a donation too in her memory. But I need to sort things out after this trip we took. Will do so in a few days. I frequent a few boards that have that same format style. Should be pretty good. |
Whoami | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:49 pm     OK, I just went and signed up for PayPal and sent a donation. Hope it gets there. I never did something like that before! BTW, I don't know why, whenever I go to type the word members, my fingers type memebers. I usually catch it, but obviously didn't in the above post! *sigh* I really do know how it's spelled! Just a wierd malfunction in my typing skills! |
Admin | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 08:56 pm     Upon a suggestion from someone, I've created a new clipart-->  |
Ezgoing | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:02 pm     Wonderful idea for utilizing the donations given in memory of Fly! Great suggestion from Whoami as well to honor her further with the icon and/or photo on the title page. Isn't that so like Fly to be making folks' lives just a little better, a little easier in any way she could?! Very fitting way to remember that sweet, sweet lady! |
Shoofly | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 08:55 am     FLy would have seen this....laughed, then cried, then laughed again, as she set about to whip off one of those heartfelt messages we loved to read And so miss now! |
Whoami | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 10:44 am     I have a tendencey to elaborate on ideas overnight in my head. So....I'm back. If an icon on the title page is good, how about that actually being a clickable link (at least for a while) where one can go to a memorial page about Fly. Just a page (not a message area to post to) where you can have a description of who she was, and what she meant to the TVCH. Maybe even her pic, if her family doesn't object. I love the Fly icon!  |
Earthmother | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 03:01 pm     After 4 years we are very much like family. I haven't been around much this season, and just found out about our Miss Fly. I am so sad. She always protected her hamsters from mean remarks..she never missed a birthday or holiday without sending a note, and she was always grateful for any and all help on the boards(we all need to take a lesson)what a wonderful person. I will miss her deeply. |
