In the mass e-mail I sent out from the forum's ACP not too long ago, I promised something about planning a memorial service for Devin. I know we all can't be where the real service is going to be held, but I think we should try to do something of our own. What I'm thinking is that a chat room (or some other kind of thing similar to it) is set up for this one-time-only thing. What we'll do is talk about all of the things that made us happy when it came to Devin. The good memories. There will be crying, probably. Hugging emojis. I think there will be more, but that's all going to come naturally. I know some of you are interested in getting together this weekend for this, and I didn't know what time we should hold it. What we can do is post times here of when we're either busy, and we can create a time for the event. So those who are interested - wildjackmonroe, antmanb, tpirrules1972 (among others) - can post their good/bad times here. We can all decide on how we're going to pull this one off properly. You're free to talk about other chat possibilities if you think that we can't find a proper chat room.

I'm all for a chat room, but I'm not sure what my weekend schedule holds right now. I know for sure I'll be eating at least one weekend dinner with my dad, might be two depending on how much money he makes this week. If it's anywhere between 5-7 on the weekend, then it'll be tough for me to attend.

I've got an idea on how I'm going to do this. I'm going to hold an all-day thing in a either a chat room or in a messenger (like Skype or something like that). People can come in and out as they please, and you're not obligated to stay for the whole thing.
I don't know how many people would want to share contact information with others, and if you can think of a chat place to go to, just post here. I'm looking around for chats that don't suck, and... They all suck. (EDIT: Found a place. I'll make it Friday night/Saturday morning in Chatzy, and I'll share the board on Twitter. If you want to pass it around, pass it in private so no trolls come in.)

This was a sudden news and shock to me, that I had no idea until it happened.
you know, the funniest thing about Devin/TheKid965 was that he was one of the most level-headed people I had ever met. I enjoyed seeing him come up with gifts in the "IIWSC" thread and I enjoyed his passion for a game show that quite frankly, I was indifferent about until Drew Carey took over.
He will be missed.

Does anyone object to sharing their personal Skype information if you have it? It's a last resort, in case Chatzy doesn't give me a password to log in with.

All we would have to do is share our Skype username, correct? If so, then I'm all for Skype. I just don't want to do any calls.

I actually don't use my real name on Skype. It's just a random name that I use.

As an aside, I would probably be more comfortable with a chatroom if I can make it.

I'm off today at 5 (eastern). I don't have any other plans so I should be home just before 6.

This is just terrible news. Devin was a truly amazing human being, dating all the way back to the GSN Buzz days. I can only imagine what his family/friends are going through right now.

Okay, I'm going to move this thread to the archive. I don't know if anyone's still using the chatroom.
