rogdog Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) I just went to mycotopia, and found out Hippie3 passed away over the xmas holidays. I'm a lurker at the site, but I really connected with Hippie3's posts. He seemed a guy like Torsten; seeing a need in the community, and not sitting back, but making a website happen. I am so glad that plenty of his wisdom is recorded in the mycotopia archives, and generations to come will have access to a piece of his generous spirit Edited January 20, 2010 by rogdog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear that. I didnt know him that well but i remember writing with him a few times when i was fresh in the community. Hippie3 seemed like an reasonable and friendly person. Stuff like this always reminds me about how short life is. 50 years go by in a second. bye Eg Edited January 20, 2010 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawning Man Posted January 20, 2010 This is sad news. Honestly, i have never even been to his website/forums or knew about him, but i think when someone contributes a great amount of info and a place to share that info derserves recognition. It just takes one person and i'm sure hippy3's contribution to the mycology community as well as the wider ethnogenic community will be missed. R.I.P Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soxy Bastard Posted January 20, 2010 Sad to see the vacuum of power tearing the site apart. If nothing else Hip ran a tight ship and did not spare the Banning Hammer. Sad for his family and friends. SB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obtuse Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) yes it is sad news indeed. hippie3 had lots of wisdom to share, and will be sadly missed. the way he ran the site made it a lovely site to hang out at. from what i see there is no problem there re power vacuums.
