      @scarfmace:

      Hey everybody,

      Like so many of the people here, the news of Mikes passing messed me up quite a bit, he was a great member of this forum and always ready to help out with information or advice. He was also known to send out gifts to people all over the world, to honor Mikes memory @Memphisakers and I have come up with the following initiative.

      “The Filthy gift”

      The idea is simple: one person posts something that he wants to give away for free, only condition is that the person receiving the gift, also gives away something. Over time, it’s my hope that a lot of people will end up with a gift in memoriam of Mike.

      To keep things serene (the most important thing for me is to do this out of memory for Mike) I want to keep the transactions limited to one item gifted each time. This should mean that at any time always one item should be listed here as a gift. I also would like this to be a single topic, which could result in a nice chain of transactions over time.

      As mentioned above, there are almost no rules but please keep in mind that this is not meant to become an easy way to get free stuff or get rid of old crap you have lying around. Don’t sign up for items you are not going to wear or use either.

      EDIT: I would like to keep things clean and have people first contact each other trough PM, once the gift is made. the sender puts a "gifted tag to …" on his reply and the new receiver can post his or her item.

      Hope this can help keep things organised 🙂

        This is a very moving thread. In an age when the word community has been debased through misuse, this really is one. RIP fella.

            Oh man. It’s been a few days since I’ve been on the forum so I just saw the news. Damn, Filthy. You were a legend around here, and will continue to be for a long, long time. So sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to his family.

              I've been sitting with this for a few days not knowing what to say.  Absolutely gutted to hear this news.

              I'm not around much anymore, but I still swing through these parts from time to time.  Mike has been a consistent source of joy and enthusiasm on the forum for a good long while.  He had a real generosity of spirit.  Most times I popped in, would be followed up with a kind private word from Mike, just to say hi or the help me hunt down a piece I'd been looking for.  Our brief conversations always brightened my day.  This community is better off for having known him.

              On the grand scale of things, this seems so small, but I would've never given the 21oz overalls a shot if not for Mike.  I can't really imagine working in anything else now.  Truly, the filthy effect in action.  Now they will always be a nice reminder of him.

              Rest up Mike, and much love to all of your family.

                If you do have something you would like me to auction off as a donation to American Heart Association.    Please DM me directly.

                  @Mizmazzle thanks for alerting me to the fact Mike had a Youtube. It’s nice putting a voice to his name and face.

                              When I start getting items, I will list them on a board dedicated to sell Filthy Auction Items", I will add a new thread to the board as and when I receive more items.  I think I will give each item one week

                                I realise how poorly worded this was, for anyone who read it. I didn’t mean to sound judgmental. I sincerely meant it in the sense that I hope Mike hadn’t suffered. He was a kind soul. Just to clear it up.

                                    .  I didn’t think it was poorly worded,and while Mike was troubled he seemed to find immense comfort in everything Iron Heart especially this Forum, where he was revered like no other member.

                                      Man, I love seeing his indigo dying adventure pics. Thanks for keeping the pic update going. It made me smile so much today, when I really needed it.

                                          I just wanted to add my condolences, his how to wash your jeans aka the filthy method is legend. He was always entertaining and full of IH inspiration and passion. It’s very sad to read of his passing, but also inspiring seeing everyones comments. He presence was large on the forum. May God bless his soul.
