Regardless of my doubts, if you can get concrete proof this is true and find a way to contact him, then you have my support. Until then we are chasing a ghost that doesn't even want to be found.

Most likely, Hykem is sitting back in a recliner, laughing his fat ass off at this thread, which he and a few other idiots knew would spring up after they launched their carefully crafted story.

Whether it is real or not is irrelevant. The OP suggests we hold off on IOSU to ensure Hykem's safety. A good cause, but Hykem clearly doesn't want to be found. And there is no way to contact or find him. If anyone is so inclined, contact another dev. Until then, there is nothing further we can do to pursue Hykem's safety, and so honestly IOSU, here we go. If at some point a development is made in regards to Hykem, we should pause IOSU and pursue this. Til that time, we shouldn't put a huge, positive community development on hold to chase, as I said before, a ghost that doesn't even want to be found.

The whole thing is just nuts, even the way how both conversations have a similar format is a bit suspicious.
Thought the same. At first i believed I clicked on the first pastebin again cause they are so similar.

Maybe he just wanted a fancy way of quitting the Wii U hacking scene?

It was kind of hard to follow.. My concern is him stating that whether or not this is real is irrelevant, then proceeded to talk as it were real. Makes it relevant, no?

Not to mention, we don't even know what the real story is. We don't know if this "they" is really a danger. The blackmail.. The... Well everything.

I don't think that would have been the best way to go out. Why make a flashy exit when you want to go silent?

I guess we all reserve the right to say this is fake, but until a dev disapproves it, I'm still gonna worry about the guy.

Doesn't it worry anyone that he might be in some serious trouble? Maybe I'm just gullible, but fake or not, I don't want to ignore something like this.

A person's safety should always come first. You're focusing on the wrong parts of that post lol.

Whether this is real or not, meh (although I personally think it's on the fake side).

No, I'm just confused on why he would suggest stopping work on IOSU only for the "safety" of one person :P
Whether IOSU is being worked on by others or not will not affect Hykem.

Not really. Whether it is real is irrelevant. We should still reach out just to make sure he is safe. But the issue is we can't atm.

He is prolly really young. Fame and feeling more important than you are, are both big issues on forums with young members. Him making this up is really not unbelievable. And even if he isn't, it's clear he put himself in said situation.

That was my point. Lol there's nothing we can do right now. So we shouldn't hold off on IOSU as OP suggests.

I think we should start a gofundme for the hypothetical hykem and his hypothetical problems.

Maybe so he has a reason to say he never comes back?

But, to be brutally honest, if we dont know if It's real or fake, there's no sense in debating about it.

Even if Hykem were in danger I feel like contacting anyone other than him could be way too far. Unless we are 100% sure of his endangerment tracking down and contacting relatives or family members could easily be seen as stalking, and I'm sure the last thing anyone wants Hykem to think is that we're stalking the guy. Those of you who watch smaller review-based YouTubers will know about IHE's dox attempt, and while those attacks were ill-intentioned the OP basically proposes we do the same thing. I'm not okay with that. The reason he left is widely debated but there's no denying that the community wasn't exactly being nice to him, and to have that same community start contacting your family members asking for information on your current situation takes it out of good intentions. While I would like to know if he's safe, if he isn't going to tell us (or can't) then there isn't much that can be done about it.

Hello fellow YouTube fan! :D hm, I hadn't really thought of it like that. But now you bring it up, I completely agree to be honest. Either way, we can't contact him, and tbh about it, surely if some forum members want to pursue this, it shouldn't take away focus from the exploit. I mean we are multiple people, we can focus on more than one thing at a time.

As this thread will soon end up in EOF with the other one, I'll toss this in.

Someone else pointed out that the post must be fake because there is no 0xF5AF5AF5 in SysCall 0x00 / IOS_CreateThread
They are correct, search 0xF5AF5AF5 and you will find nothing.

Search instead for 0xF5A5A5A5 and you will find that in IOS-KERNEL's IOS_CreateThread function, but no 0xF5AF5AF5 like the fake pastebin says.

It just sounds like too much of a plan to just say that. Making this rumor would have just brought more attention to his absence.
The pastebins are a bit hard to believe, that I get. But I don't think it should already be proven false. Heck, the account who posted the second conversation is almost 10 years old.
But I guess you're right on one thing, and a few others already said it. There's really not much we can do, real or not; so there's not much to debate about.
...heh, I can be pretty gullible, but I just can't help but feel worried for him.
