Tribute Tribute to Canucks Community

[Ginger Papa]

I have just learned earlier today of the passing of one of the longest serving Members of HF - @Buffaloed .

I wanted to take a few moments to express my appreciation for what @Mr. Canucklehead , @Canucks LB , and @Baby Pettersson have done for us here on HF Canucks.

Life is fleeting and uncertain. I think it’s better to show love & gratitude to the living than remembering after they’re gone.


Thank you for what you have done here & continue to do.

Saddened to hear the loss of @Buffaloed
I was familiar with that user back in the day. I remember how he generally had a good sense of humor. May he rip.

Also, yes, well done to mods you mentioned. Their services are much appreciated.

 

[Canucks LB]

Firstly, it’s really awful to hear what happened with Buffaloed, We have lost some absolutely incredible people on here, Greatly missed. R.I.P

If you would like to do a tribute Ginger, i have an idea!
I think it would be nice if we use this thread to show some love not to just mods, But some of the amazing Community we have here

I’ve been a part of a few online communities and it’s hit me surprisingly hard when someone I’ve never met but have interacted with passes away.

I hear that. We’ve lost some really great people here over the years.

Buffaloed, for anyone who may not know (and that’s entirely possible, he was a very behind the scenes type) was the administrator of HF right from the drop. So literally from Day 1 of the original iterations of the board and the website, he was here, and it’s thanks to the efforts of him and some other terrific people that we’ve had this site to enjoy for as long as we have (I’ve been posting here since I was 17 and I’m 37 now).

You are the best

Sad to hear about his passing.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This really is my 2nd life on HFBoards! Thanks to you all for such an amazing community to hang out in.

Rest easy Buffalo!

You're a good man, Ginger.

Too true, we get all worked up about our opinions about a sport, but it's important to remember that it's just a diversion, it's fun.

The online world is strange because one can dedicate hundreds of hours to a community where nobody knows your name or your face. One day they stop posting and people often don't know why.

I think you're right to want to honour the efforts of folks while they are around to appreciate it.

Remember the days of HF chat. Parabola, Walzy, Octopi and now Buffaloed?

This is bullshit

At least heaven has good mods now.

Especially since ones like Barney Gumble were rightly 'culled'.

In a serious note, I never had any interactions with Buffaloed but knew of the person. RIP Buffaloed.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Adding my 2 cents, I really appreciate the work of our mods. May you never leave us.
Actually, we won't let you.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The new HFBoards banner is a very fitting tribute to two people who really gave their all to this place - Buffaloed and Fugu.

Hope they're having a drink a good laugh together.

Very sad to hear about @Buffaloed passing. May he RIP

(I second your shout-out to the mods around here. I too am very grateful for their work)

 

[Steamer]

Enjoyed his posts over the years. RIP

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Buffaloed answered my pm one time. Rest In Peace.

 

[StickShift]

I don’t think many realize how much effort goes into a forum like HF. It doesn’t just spontaneously happen. The moderation, the technical effort, and the business effort all have to come together and it is a huge lift.

People like Buffaloed are keystones to making a forum like this work and he will be missed.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Polarizing guy, but very sad to hear. RIP Buffaloed.

And life shuffles on. Gratefull to have a site like this to come to for all kinds of hockey discussions. Appreciate the kind of dedication a select few put into keeping it going. Definitely a 21st century community.

For most of us, the Big Bang was just a theory. But HTP was there to say “what the hell was that sound?”
