With deep sorrow, we have to inform you that our very own hippyfreak has passed away.

He left us on November 29th at the age of 41, from possibly Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The entire staff team is devastated and heartbroken over this. We knew he enjoyed his time here sharing with all of you. So we will try our very best to maintain what he left behind.

To everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, please keep him and his family in your prayers and thoughts.

May he rest in peace.

Wow.
He will be remembered as a legend in the pirate circles.

For those who don't know hippyfreak was a wiu iso uploader. He has helped many.
Best not post the source.

Sad news, still bad to hear such things go wrong.
But as far as I can tell, hippyfreak was a ISO distributor for the Wii.
first result on google gave me that, and I think I'm not allowed to post the source.
EDIT: damn beaten to it.

Cause so many people used his uploads.
Come on, the other day there was a post about leslie nielson, I think thus qualifies for a post. The source hasn't been posted as it is against gbatemp rules.

Though many of us never knew who he was or what he did, some people benefited from his existence and he most certainly had friends and family.
That alone is reason enough for us to wish that he rest in peace.


Rest In Peace, HippyFreak.

Even though I don't know who he is, I'm still sad that he's passed away. May he rest in peace.
