i saw a message in the early hours of this morning, Lilraven has passed away yesterday morning. if it wasn't for her i would not be administrating the Poolwebsite today.
it all started out over at expectingrain when we were still collecting mp3/m4a music files, she was among a small group of people that shared a lot of concerts over a certain amount of time. eventually i was looking for shows that were not shared at ER & i went more to the other sites ... anyhow ... one day she asked me if i wouldn't want to be a member of her team on the Poolwebsite, not that i'm a playing games person, but i said "okay, why not". she got the group together & we played together for a few years until the static setlist set in.
she was the Captain initially, but one day she accidentally "un-Captained" herself & she couldn't get it fixed, the site looked hacked etc. she asked me if i couldn't be Captain, so that went on, next thing she asked me if i couldn't fix the site, she knew that i knew a bit about websites. next thing i took over the old theneverendingpool.com from icq to theneverendingpool.org at a different provider.
concerts were still shared by Lilraven through various channels. she'd always made me aware of sites i might be interested in. we often communicated by email, at the beginning almost on a daily or weekly basis, there was always something or other.
i just checked the emails, we had at least been communicating by email since April 2009 until May 2020, she wasn't so much around since then. on the 6th of May 2020 we communicated the last time during the "C"-Period
her interest in playing the game had also passed. so we were no longer that much in contact.
even though that now she is no longer with us, i will keep her on my team, cept for blindwilly & me noone plays along anymore anyway. in these days it has become more something for the individual than for the team. that's another story.
it won't be long & the site will have to go through a period of transition again. the PHP version running in the background is outdated & will one day no longer be supported by my host ... i don't know how i will ever get that fixed.
anyhow ... that's the story today ... sad story & we will keep her memory alive through all the music that she shared with us & by keeping her on the team ...
