RIP Skip Towne - Page 10

To our best knowledge (basically, Bwana), Skip Towne passed away on March 24, 2023. I didn't exactly have the most positive run-ins with him, but everyone who was anyone on here in the beginning deserves a thread in the In Memoriam forum.

I say we share our best (or worst) encounters with Skip, and then, only once this thread reached 100 posts, move it. :-)

RIP Skip...he actually helped me with a satellite dish issue once. Appreciated his help.

Other times we would bicker about stupid little crap. I think he was actually the first person to Neg rep me eons ago and his comment with it was hilarious. But all in all we got along.

Seeing this reminds me I was in my early 40's when this place started. Now I am an old "get off my lawn" guy.

God bless the old Star Board for being so narrow minded that Kyle had to start this place.

RIP to the grouchy one. Taking his “get off my lawn” attitude the wrong direction……

He was funny when you started to get his schtick. Losing too many, it seems like lately.

Did he ever apologize for it.

I never had another exchange after he called my principal. I put him on my ignore list after our back and forth DMs and that was the last contact I had with him.

That was just plain over the top wrong. He is known as the grumpy old man. I am now a full decade older than he was at that time so I totally get the grumpy part, but that was pure bullshit.

RIP Skip. You never said that high school was a sand green championship.

Rereading the linked thread has me feeling a bit down. The shit I said…and now he’s gone from this life.

I should have stayed above it.

In lieu of flowers, you can purchase a WebTV in memoriam.

Don't beat yourself up too much, it takes time to accrue that kind of wisdom

Man, you're a useless queer. Nobody will regret being an asshole to you when you're gone.

Damn...RIP brother....

In honor of Skip, I checked how many 100+ reply threads I’ve created….. 369. Somewhere Skip is smiling.

I'll go ahead and move this over to the HOC, but while I do that...

I was randomly looking at the list of top members by post count today, and I noticed that Skip is still on the first page (#30) even though he hasn't posted for a decade. The dude was quite prolific for his time (especially given the WebTV thing).
