Would there be a possibility of naming off topic after Bill? He really was that much of a forum legend.

Well said mate.

Would be a superb gesture.

I remember when it was called “the cellar”, it disappeared but “ de Niro” pointed me in the direction of off topic, always helpful always a legend

So sad and deepest sympathy to all family and friends, glad we got that win today so fitting and had a couple of beers in ground to toast Bill.
First real encounter I had with Bill was the infamous EB Streymur game in the Faroe Islands and after that it was always a pleasure whenever I numerously bumped into him.
R.I.P Bill

Thanks to whoever organised this I have the video but don’t know how to post it

I was slightly disappointed that I don’t feel everyone saw it.

Sadly, I missed it, and I was still in my seat, annoyed at my own ineptness.

I think it would be better to rename 'classic threads' to the 'De Niros'

Yeah Bill wasn't a big "off topic" poster anyway.

He moderated it like a bloody man-eating shark sometimes though!
