Write down a tribute to a former Lichess member

I'm just going to say, @george_mcgeorge was one of the best forum posters in 2022. I talked with him, I posted on the forums with him, and even played a couple games with him. I wish the best of luck to him where ever he may be.

If Lichess could forever have a page for these members who will be honored here, so they could be honored forever, it would be a great service to them.

He is one of the rare ones to be the best in their domains. He needs to come back to clean the current mess.

Honestly, we should stop using stereotypical topics, and start creating topics that are unique, personal, and ironic. the quality and style of each. that's what's missing. We are missing bold people, capable of mastering English and its humor (which I am unfortunately not capable of). We must encourage a form of rhetoric to prevent extremely short and useless messages: “yes”, “no” or “thanks” type messages (I am talking about messages and not topics).

- talking about art will bring out value judgments on works or artists and will generate debates which will explode after a while.

- talking about politic will be worse.

- talking about private and family life can became an harmful thing for the author, and often embarrassing for the community to read.

But!!!

talking with Irony about Ikea furniture, send your best riddles or encourages creativity to create topics requiring reflection, like philosophy, will rarely provokes venomous responses.

Man I once put together an entire IKEA kitchen for a client,cabinets,base cabinets and then mounted everything.
I thought I would never get done putting things together.
Fortunately the conciseness and clarity of the assembly instructions made things so much easier( lol,yeah,right)
I will close this forum if you don't stop wasting the first page. This is to honour the legends, not your indigenous bullcrap talk.
So, I will be making another: @four_legs_good was a great forum poster when he was online. While we didn't get along all the time, he was a good person and a sensible one. If anyone deserves a shoutout, he should be one of them.
And another: @tpr. While I never knew him, he was the god of forum posting. Almost like MrPushwood, minus the trolling personality. May the Forums be with him always.
And yet another: @Aoza. He was my friend until he passed along, and had a great personality. He deserves to be remembered.
And another: @FutureAstronomer. He was one of the great forum posters in the early Covid ages, and while I only knew him for a short time, I know he would like to see this and be reminded that he indeed predicted the cataclysmic event of the forums 2 years before they happened: lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/is-off-topic-discussion-helpful2#7
Then, there is @Alientcp. One of my favourite forum posters, the legend has it that she/he left because of a computer breakdown. The truth, however, remains to be seen if he returns again.
