Interesting question which I'm currently giving a fair bit of thought to.
To me the threads haven't got value. . . . but the backlinks, such as my signature, do as part of my whole web footprint.
My digital footprint helps my website.
I run an entirely digital hobby business from my website which generates several thousand dollars a year through book sales which would have an ongoing value to my estate.
I guess a post is 'property' and could have value which could be left in a will - the copyright ownership could be left to someone.
I think you sign away all your rights when you join up and your posts are owned by the forum. That's why Sim and other admins won't remove posts if someone spits the dummy and says they want all their posts deleted after they've been banned or don't want to partake anymore.
We also grant a 48 hour window where you can edit or remove your own posts after you first published them - kind of like a "cooling off" period in case you change your mind.
I've always been curious as to whether mods see all iterations of an edited post.
I have heaps of memberships and accounts to many different sites of interest. It does cross my mind from time to time that I am creating/collecting a large amount of digital debris. I wondered if I should create a master list of web sites, user names and passwords which could be locked in my safe with my will so that someone can close the accounts when I pass on. Probably not necessary though.
Hmm. Maybe someone could create that as a service. Register your accounts with a service provider and they can close them all at the time of your death.
You should be more concerned about your loved ones being able to continue renewing your domain name and hosting your site when you die.
