that guy was a true traveler who didn't need the security of being a punk/ gypsy/ neoprimitivist or any particular label to justify his way of life. When people came around with their dumbass questions about into the wild or whatever else, he never lost his cool, just tried to be friendly, but you know what, he died at 35 still putting himself out there.
So yeah, the server needs to be rebooted I think, but I don't have the heart to call his family and tell them about it because they have other things going on right now. I too would like to connect with some folks on there, but it'll have to wait. Kind of crazy that it stopped a the same time he did more or less
