Paul Pojman (qipoj) has passed away

Post by poneill »

Hello all,

I'm writing with great sadness to relate that Paul Pojman, who went by qipoj on KGS, passed away this week after a brief battle with lung cancer. Go was a lifelong love of Paul's, and I believe that playing on KGS with other students of the game was a great source of happiness to him. If you knew Paul through KGS, please feel welcome to share a memory at paulpojman.org.

RIP. It's sad those accounts with all the games disappear after 6 months. IMO if you have played regularly on KGS for more than 5 years you should be rewarded with a permanent account.

Since I don't know qipoj, I won't comment on that. Just replying to Pippen: The games are always still there on the archive. As far as I know, there is no policy for deletion of game archives.
