A couple of people have said he was nice and I nearly said that myself in my previous post. He was nice. I know that nice is a word so often used sardonically, but it is a true compliment in this case; he embodied every definition of the word. He caused me to check myself on more than one occasion. I can't remember even feeling mildly irritated at anything he said or did.

Think i'm gonna go watch Redline in his memory.
If anyone else would like to as well it's still up on youtube (legally).

The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.
When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in the particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is "So it goes."

This is terrible. He was one of the folks that I always recognized around these parts.
My sincere condolences.

Incredibly sorry for your loss, but know that its weight is shared on hundreds of shoulders.
He'll be missed by many, many folks. I liked Ipse a lot.
I really wish I'd had a chance to meet him, or at least just get to know him better. It's always a punch to the gut for me when I find out a fellow forumer passes away. It makes me think of all the missed opportunities for friendship.

Aww man, Ipse is one of my favourite dudes to talk shop and benchrace with. I'll miss him.
I will always remember Ipse as one of those great breeds of people who could make anyone feel welcome and important - from chats about DnD to mechanics. I found him to be genuine, honest and a delight to talk to. I'll miss discussing our motorbikes, dogs and how nice it was to drive through California with the wind in our hair.
He was a good one and all those that knew him will be in my thoughts

I really don't know what to say. I remember his love for motorbikes the most out of anything. But as everyone said. He was just a genuine guy who never had time to be mean to anyone.
Ipse was a really nice guy. When I had barely begun posting, I mentioned that I was having car trouble. He sent me a message to try to diagnose it and give me a good cost to get it fixed. He had basically no reason to do it - I mean, I was a total stranger, even by internet standards. And yet he chose to try his best to help.
From that one interaction, I can tell that he was a good person who would do anything to help someone in need. To those who knew him better than I, I am truly sorry for your loss.
Damnit. : ( I will really miss seeing him around, my condolences and general sadness. He was definitely a person who always seemed like a super cool guy and I really enjoyed all of his posts and I wish I'd known him better.

I'd forgotten this passage but this is how I think of my Mum. She's not dead, she just lives in the past now.
I was Ipse's Satan one year. I didn't stiff him, but there was a bonus arty thing I was making for him that I never finished. It's still on a shelf in my room. I feel like I should do something with it, but I don't know what.
Man. We didn't interact much and he probably didn't know who I was, but he was one of those people whose posts always contributed something positive to a thread, y'know? This is awful.
Bendery, he really was. Andrew was a class act. I never heard a crass or gossipy word from him. He was so fun to hang out with. He was also really giving and generous; when we couldn't drive down to him, he made a real effort to drive up and see us. He was the first non-family member to come and see Anya when she was born.
He's one of the few forumers to have met my Mom when I took her to Comic Con in 09.
I liked him
shit. shit.
i'm glad i got to meet him then, and i'm really sad that he's gone.
i remember that night. Khoo was like "let's go get some food somewhere", and he takes us to the U.S. Grant. most of us were pretty blown away because the Grant is a classy place. i remember Ipse in particular being pretty super humble about it.
he was good people. the world needs more of him, not less.
I must admit I didn't Ipse much but I've only ever heard lovely things about him, that he was a kind and caring guy.
Janson and mori you must be feeling this most I'm so sorry you've lost what sounds like a wonderful friend. I hope his family are okay, I'll be thinking about them.

I'm so very very sorry. I didn't know him well but I did know enough to be hurting.
We, uh, we were going to ride motorcycles together.

Like others here, I didn't know him beyond his posting on the forum, but I only ever remember him being friendly and fun, and this forum will certainly miss him, to say nothing of the rest of the people whose lives he was a part of.
My heart goes out to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him better than I did.

@DE?AD had seen him more recently and probably knew him better than we did, but thank you.
I am feeling very sad today that we hadn't seen him much as of late. We used to be a fairly tight-knit group, meeting up once or twice a month at least, then a variety of factors led to our group dispersing and going our various ways; no falling out, just life progressing... nothing and nobody to blame, just sad to realise. You always figure there'll be a 'later', a next time.

I think thats an inevitable part of getting older, you all have your own lives, careers and families that take up time. But you're bound to feel sad to realise that there's not going to be a later like you thought, but at least you last saw him with you all knowing you were happy to be friends and see each other again.

Rest in peace, Ipse. You were a cool dude.

edit: I should add it's NSFW for like one topless scene if I remember right.

This always sucks, to hear about.
I'm crying. I didn't even know the guy, and I'm literally crying. Can't imagine how those of you who knew him feel.
