RIP Skip Towne - Page 6

**luv** · 07-19-2023, 08:27 AM

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.

My time here only overlapped 1 year with Skip Towne.

I never remember anything negative and had little interaction with him. I never earned the privilege.

Another CP Legend has moved to the great Arrowhead in the sky.

RIP Skip Towne

I was his favorite.
So that tells you all you need to know about him.

Pretty sure I remember him getting pissed at someone and digging up some personal info on them. He was punished, and never returned.

Yeah he either doxxed someone or contacted their employer or something and never came back

It was me. He called my building principal. This had to be over 13 years ago. Most on this board knew my real name and occupation. He was complaining about teachers pay and him and I got into it.

My principal laughed about it but he really tried to screw my professional life because of postings on an internet message board.

I think you nailed it. Someone contacted someone's employer. I remember that story.
Was it Skip Towne?

Holy balls!! He wasn’t that far from me!! I’d given him the business about satellite because I’m Cable!! All in good humor, I had no idea he was that close!! Thanks for sharing this.
RIP nOOb!!

Can you be more specific?

It's funny, I was just wondering the other day what happened to old Skip. I know he could be harsh but I always enjoyed his banter.

He was temp banned for a week, but was apparently so butthurt over it that he never returned.

Here's an interesting thread about it.

Wow, looking at these old threads makes me realize that there are a lot of old posters who are no longer around here.

I guess that is to be expected when one has been on a forum for over 22 years.

I think I made it known in that thread how I felt about Skip at that time
