The type of hippies he wants (I'm assuming 60s style hippies) do not have the internet. They don't care about foruming to other hippies in other countires and talking about bullshit.
no thats NOT the type of hippies he wants.
i been there longer than anyone besides pressed rat was and MAYBE a couple more active posters and i disagree.
what skip wants is young impressionable children that he can shove his politics and ideals on.
the fact is older hippy types tend to be very fiscally conservative and anti big government.
thats the thing about skip,he may have wrote a book depicting what HE sees as the quintessential hippy ,but the fact is,he himself was born a decade too late to have lived the movement.
i mean come on he was 9 the summer of love.
as someone who knows many MANY folks who were part of the movement that spawned the "hippy generation" i can say that they would have nothing to do with the place because its grounded in a illusion of something that never was and the people there focus on things that were a TINY part of what was important to that generation.
no skip doesnt want to cater to real hippies,if he did half the forums there wouldnt exist and the ones that remained would be moderated a hell of a lot different.
and his membership would decline by 95% .. lol
