 wa> In Remembrance of Hawk Hubbard
 wa> ----------
 wa> 
 wa> Hawk Hubbard was the very first node on Sp00knet.  He was 700:100/1,
 wa> with the  main hub being 700:100/0.  Now Hawk decided to go with other
 wa> networks, other  than Sp00knet, however he was a great inspiration for
 wa> the development of our  network.  This past year he has passed on to new
 wa> things, but he will be  remembered for many years to come.  He wanted
 wa> Sp00knet to be more elite,  allowing only very few boards on Sp00knet,
 wa> but the PHATstar team chose to make  it somewhat easier to get accepted,
 wa> which made him part company, but if it  wasn't for him who knows what
 wa> would have happened with the idea of a Sp00knet.  Hawk will be missed
 wa> and I don't think anything or anyone can take his place.   His board,
 wa> Piranha Black Flag, has been featured in mainstream magazines of  the
 wa> style that you would find in book stores.  Hawk Hubbard was with ACiD
 wa> (the  artpack group), and he kept the spirit of ACiD alive until now.
 wa> 
 wa> Hawk was a musician in his spare time, and if anyone can be said to be
 wa> part of  the BBS Scene it would have been him, giving a large part of
 wa> his life to his  bulletin board system hobby.
 wa> 
 wa> He will be greatly missed by many.

Agreed and props to the master sysop - Hawk was wonderful to SO many people in the BBS community; I thought him and I had a special relationship, and we did - but after his passing I've heard stories from *EVERYONE* that he was accepting, helpful and excited to talk to SO MANY in our community.

Hawk is a sysop, a musician, a mentor, brother, friend and r0ckstar. Didn't know he was node 2 on sp00k - but it don't surprise me one bit.

hip hip hooray, hawk. hip hip hooray.
