(Internet) life after death

To be honest, I think I'm a little in denial about this. I'm running through my head the number of online platforms I have accounts for, both for personal and business use and I'm:

1 - dreading the thought of someone having to go through each and deactivate it
2 - Impressed with my capacity to remember log in and password credentials for each

Lol, at any given time I have 35+ usernames and passwords for personal, work and business accounts.

I think the bot idea is great. Just random messages and updates here and there. Hell, most people on Facebook talk bad about me anyway, so why give them the satisfaction of knowing I'm dead? They'll talk smack regardless. The most important people will know, as well as my friends here at TotJO.

The difficulty comes I guess, if one's family are not so accommodating or understanding of one's personal interests. I'm not sure, if presented with a list of sites on which a Jedi Temple features, whether my own parents would log in and inform someone.

If we'd all been made to answer 5 different questions everyday, I think, after a few years, there would be enough information to run a reasonable bot representation of self. Decades of data could make it so real that perhaps your personality would live on online in realtime, via chat interface

*Whispers* That's Creepy...

I've got a sort of "In the Event of my Death" note stowed away in case anything were to ever happen to me. I carry a card in my wallet with instructions on where to find it... Kind of like a will, with my wishes and such spelled out, but not really "official" I guess. I update it once a year or so, and last year I put it on there that whoever finds it should notify the Temple somehow if I were to die. Just seemed right, since there are few other ways for people to find out!

I like the card in the wallet idea.

I have both a living will (basically, unplug me if I'm brain dead or whatever) and 'regular' will, dividing things up equally between the kids. Perhaps I should task one of them with 'cleaning' my internet presence in the event. But then, maybe not. My dad still has a FB account, he's been dead since 2011.

I don't think there's anything online particularly I would personally wanted 'clean'. I don't have facebook so I'm safe there, and I don't think there's anything I've said while I'm alive that somehow would be inappropriate when I'm dead.
And if I'm dead and there was, I think I'd be past caring

Why bother? Why not let that (those) life go it's natural course like our bodies?
