Based on what I am starting to see pop up in other groups I am a member of, I understand Hawk has passed away today after an ongoing battle with cancer :(

Hawk was a passionate sysop who was heavily involved in both the BBS and ANSI art scene. He has run a number of BBS over the years and is well known for his links with ACiD and  Blocktronics and BBS such as Black Flag, ACiD Underworld, Piranha and more.

Many here will have known Hawk or had contact with him over the years. He was always very kind and helpful to me and I appreciated his involvement in fsxNet over the years along with his wider contributions to the BBS scene.

To his immediate family and the wider BBS/ANSI communities impacted by his death I extend my sincere condolences.

I also want to send aroha to Smooth and the rest of the Araknet community who will be feeling this loss keenly today.
