Dogpiss

can you read his history? He got pretty radical with the politics and pro-trump stuff. Definitely could see him getting suspended.

Dane at his worst was his baseline.

He's been gone for years and is dead now, so there's no reason to bag on him any further than that.

Gonna pour one out for Skip tonight.

RIP man, you were a titan of this place.

Yeah, it definitely reached a point where he was over the line of hazing and well into just being being an abusive asshole as far as I was concerned. I hope his leaving this place behind allowed him to level out some what.

I was thinking the same thing. If you were new and Skip was around, he would would put some of them to the test. Only the strong survived. LMAO

I always enjoyed Skip. He was a grouchy old shit sometimes, but I always took it that he didn't intend it to be "mean". He definitely had a gift for welcoming new people to the planet.

Do we need to start an RIP thread for him that can later be moved to the In Memoriam forum? By "we," I mean someone who may have actually known him?

I mean, sure. With that said, I'm not sure if anyone around here knew him that well.

I had twice the amount of run-ins with Skip than just about anyone on this board. I enjoyed giving him shit about his age and his grouchiness, and he liked to give me grief about, well, everything LMAO

I had a healthy respect for that grouchy, old codger. He always made this Board interesting :)

How did you learn of his death?

Honestly, if it was March 24th of this year, then I had it wrong. We were doing some sleuthing on this board some time ago, and I thought we had determined he had passed several years ago. So, it looks like I was both right and wrong

I didn't find anything until it was pointed out here, but I've kinda sorta tried to find evidence that he was still alive off and on for years. He kept his online presence pretty small, but I did know his real name. After seeing it here, I Googled his name and obituary and found the March 24th date shared here.

I'd have to check, but im pretty sure some of my very first negs were from skip.

That's how i was greeted on CP. With a freakin' bombardment of negs.

LMAO I remember the good old days when rep was actually serious business.

Folks would get theirs bottomed out from rep bombing and there'd be freakout posts in the lounge for days.

Clay posted a huge picture of Trump in my rep..it's quite jarring.

Just had to post so I could make sure my green-peen was big enough.

Well, if you got a pic share it. I'm always curious what radio/internet personalities look like...

I was glad to see in the obit that he wanted memorials left to a local church. Maybe getting away from here did him some good and he mellowed out in his final years.

The pic in the obit I've seen is probably about 60 years old, so it doesn't do much for you.

Wait, Dane died or you are referring to Skip?

Zach moved to Vermont with his husband, Gregory.

Skip

Looks like the kind of guy I would hang around with, but give him shit about the bow tie.
sec

I wonder if the afterlife has WebTV.

ROFL
Poor skip.
sec

Hope Pugs gets things worked out and returns. He had a lot of solid football takes, I enjoyed his insight

Frazod did that to me

It wasn't because you were a n00b. It was because you were an annoying ****ing idiot.

I got it from SNR.

An introductory neg rep barrage seems like a good way to prime the pump, really.

It's unfortunate that tradition went by the wayside. The pussification of CP.

My first 3 negs were from Redrum69 LMAO

That dude was awesome

Dylan
Buzz
Dinny Bossa Nova

Wonder what happened to them?

I wonder if MoHillbilly ever lurks. I know he was homestading or something.

What the **** is WebTV?

Here's a ChatGPT summary:

WebTV was kind of like Roku but for the internet as a whole rather than for video. It was a way for people to get online without buying a computer, but it was a pretty limited experience.

Interesting. Yeah, that was a bit before my time apparently.

Lmao webtv

I remember setting it up for my 92 year old grandma nearly 30 years ago.

Asshole.

:)

Actually I was a pretty big dumbass when I joined this forum. I matured a lot through my 20s and into my early 30s.

Dylan was killed covering the Syrian conflict
Buzz opened a wildly successful chain of homestyle restaurants
Dinny joined a Heavens Gate offshoot that actually WAS taken away by aliens

He still pops in about twice a year these days

It was a cheap internet device from the mid-90s that connected to a TV, aimed at people who didn't have a computer. It was kind of like AOL.

Yep. Notice I said "were" not "are." :)

Anyone heard anything from Frazod? That guy used to be super active and engaged. He’d give as good as he got. But then Taylor Swift came to Chicago and he kinda disappeared. Hope he’s well.

Anyone hear from greg63?

Dane is alive and well.

DaneMcCloud now shops at the Costco in the clouds

Shops as an angel like he did as a person. Family pack of Kirkland Toilet Tissues.

Anyone remember the name of the guy that had an Eddie Kennison gif in his avatar? Clay changed his avvy to Jesus is Coming with a picture and he got so upset the mods didn't reprimand Clay he left forever. Would have been around late 2006.

B14ckmon was probably the most effective troll I've ever seen. Haven't had anybody close to his caliber since.

Since we are reminiscing and shit, I’ll throw a name into the ring:

Dr.
Johnny.
Fever.

Chagrin for me.

Good times.

Man, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. It appears its last post was in 03-08-2013. And the last visit shows N/A.

I miss UltraPeanut and Reaper

Reaper was a legend and selfishly I could really use her music recommendations in my life right now.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on Laz, and I THINK I found a name for him (I'd say maybe 80% sure it's the right guy). However, I'm not finding much in terms of other info on him, so it's tough to say what the deal is.

If anyone here has the ability to run background checks on people, let me know. I have some theories. All of the sites online are super scammy, though, so I'm hesitant to go too far down that rabbit hole.

He’s still around isn’t he?

Sportswax V Johnny WAY back when.

Silock was a cool dude.

What is Fritz88's username now? He still around?

I miss Kcjohnny 2bike mike endelt jaz and jimnasium with jazzlover

Gentlemen, Your sticky threads is cancer, RIP, an wordle.

The software running the site is 30 years old.

Time for bed.

As Haywire would say...

Eat a bag of dicks

I get a msg from him every once in awhile.
Very cool poster
Miss you fritz!
sec

A kind soul was able to run this check for me and the short answer is...I don't know why he left. Assuming I'm not on the wrong track, he's still just living in Overland Park. No arrests, still alive, etc. Tough to say what happened. :shrug:

2bikemike was active today, though hasn't posted in a month or so.

It would be interesting to see the top X posters of all time who have not posted in the last year or two years. Or maybe top posters from the year 00, 01, 02, etc.,

I would guess most of the top posters from years in early 2000s are still at least infrequent visitors, other than those we know are passed on

If you click on Members List a the top, you can sort by number of posts or join date.

We had a top posters of each year at one point, not sure if it's still around :hmmm:

Why do a lot of them say n/a on the last visit, out of curiosity?

Got an example?

I’m still around Nut, just busy with career and life. Still an active reader, just not that energetic about posting any more. I’ll be here until the end, regardless if that’s the end of me or the end of this site.

click Members List, sort by Posts, scroll down. Last visit column for many posters has an N/A. For example Mecca who's been here today.

Oh, looks like an invisible mode thing, under User CP, Edit Options... it's so you don't show up on the front page as actively online or by the dot next to your name.... and I guess it also sets that to N/A.

We can see all of the last logon times on those pages through mod privs, didn't realize it hides activity there, too.

The only one getting in bed here is your mom.

Love him or hate him, Dane is just such a huge headscratcher

Dude was a stalwart during the worst of times, then totally bails just as this whole thing starts to explode?

It just doesn't make any sense

I can only imagine he's over at "Wild Bills Chiefs" or some shit COMPLETELY riding herd over a bunch of woefully unprepared ham n eggers LMAO

I threw this together. This lists top 10 posters per year and adds in last activity year for anyone not still around in 2023.

I wonder who ColoradoChief was... join date of 08-21-2000, 2,876 posts in the first 4 months, which puts him around Clay's posting rate.

Last posted NYE of 2000 and last logon was 1/5/2001. And I'm not sure anyone in the top 10 the following year was in Colorado, but who knows about future mults.

Johnny fever was beer me before that.

I'm curious what happened to BoneKrusher. He was a solid poster and seemed like he knew his stuff.

most of the top posters are active or were active in DC. My time in there is probably why I make the top 25 on here.

Go eat a couple Taco Bell chalupas, he’ll start knocking in about 30 minutes
