Skip made it ok to be an ass to people on CP. As did Dane.

IMO, those two are the Godfathers of CP culture. (I know i said that already, but it sounds cool in my head)

I was never in the fray, so I always was able to enjoy grouchy old man vs. noob from the sidelines.

RIP

Same.

I sat back as a young Padawan.

In many ways im Skip's fault.

RIP Skip. He was the best! Very entertaining.

The Skip vs gochiefs rep wars lol

I kinda remember a little n00b stuff from Skip when I went from lurker to poster, but mostly it was harmless. He was a good litmus test for whether people should bother sticking around. Wish he would have stopped by sometime before he passed. Anyone who posted through all those dark days deserved a victory lap. R.I.P

I wonder if Skip ever would have come around to my hatred of megathreads. He LOVED his 100+ post threads back in the day, but these days it seems like people would rather have giant threads than small threads.

RIP to a CP legend.

Got to meet Skip when he came to my place of business back 2000 or 2001, always enjoyed his posts. Started posting with him at the old Star board.
Legend of Chiefs Planet.
RIP Skip.

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

I remember him well and iirc we were always good with each other. I' saddened to read this, everytime I pop in there's another warrior down, rest Skip. Bless your soul and prayers for friends and family - cheers

Loved his grumpy posts. It’s really cool to see so many of the original CP’ers come out to pay respects. Love this place and the people here. RIP Skip!

Skip actually mailed me one of those Directv splitter things years ago. Good guy.
