Long-time forum member Ken Berg (username kenberg) passed away a month ago, see here. He'd been most active in the Water Cooler, especially the humongous thread about Trump, although he has older posts in the bridge-related forums. His stories about growing up in the midwest in the "good old days" entertained us all.

In his memory, the weekly BBO Forums Sunday Daylong is being renamed the Kenberg Memorial BBF Daylong.

Given that you made your first ever post today, I am guessing that you will see it next week.

I believe the criterion is activity on BBF during the past 180 days (could be 120 days).

Thanks for the reply.
This is not my first ever post, and I have been playing the Sunday forum for a while now, but I guess it is possible that as I have had no other activity for some time now I lost eligibility….
I guess we’ll see next week.

Thank you for the info; I used to play in the Sunday BBO Forums Daylong and, suddenly, it just disappeared. Hopefully, I will be able to join in again.

The name has reverted - was this intentional?

I was sorry to learn about Ken's passing. He struck a nerve with long-time forum posters - ok, with me - because he was living proof that one could be an engaged poster, not shy from voicing opinions, yet come across as a thoroughly decent and dignified person.

Very nice to see a long time member be acknowledged.
