Shout out to Hippy!
I'd like to dedicate this shout-out to Hippy, who, out of pure selflessness, has added the like/dislike hack to my site for me, as I don't have the required awesomeness.
It's certainly uplifting to receive generosity like this from someone who gains no merit from it except thanks and appreciation. Thanks so much, Hippy, you rock! My forum is all the better for your selfless effort and I appreciate it very much. Cheers and props! obg:up:

Yes I agree shout out to Hippy...
--------------- Added [DATE]1360040595[/DATE] at [TIME]1360040595[/TIME] --------------- I have to say, that if not for this Nut..lol My site would be pretty grim...lol He is a great friend and Coder... If you can deal with his personality...hehehehehehe But hey look at my personality.... Two peas in a Pod except that pea knows his shit.... He is like a Forum God and again has helped me to no end !!! I can not say enough to get this point across... If You really need a friend who selfishly commits the amount of knowledge he has to your site as though it was his own then you have something knowing him as I do... He is solely responsible for helping and design of the graphics of my site... He is also responsible for some of the mods, that run on my site... When I see that others are even asking if it is possible... I have known other coders that have offered him Jobs and he tells them No..for what reasons I do not know except his absolute love for the challenge and the rebellion to be in it for solely a Pay check... That in itself speaks Volumes He would rather have someone that actually Genuinely appreciates the help he provides... (I think he gets a Big laugh at watching me attempt to figure out in hours/Days what this ass can do in minutes...) Maybe that's it is he is Laughing at me....lol --------------- Added [DATE]1360041844[/DATE] at [TIME]1360041844[/TIME] --------------- I can not begin to list the amount of time and issues he has helped me with or simply fixed knowing it was not slicked and working as designed, even then he has improved some designs... What else can I say...???? --------------- Added [DATE]1360042975[/DATE] at [TIME]1360042975[/TIME] --------------- Actually I can say some more... I was having a lot of issues with my site and also related to being away from Vbull for years... I would not say that, I was ever that great at anything to begin with .. Just a stumbling Hack at it...at Best He saw me, somehow, asking for help and attempting to get some answers... What does he do? Sends me a PM asking for the complete set of keys to my site... FTP access and control to Cpanel, Admin Log in, to my site. Passwords, everything you go through when you set up the server and the forum software and then run it... I read a couple post from here and remembered seeing him here quite often, I said. Sure why not... It was not like I really had that much to loose then... My site was Brand New and just getting set up. He went to my site and worked for hours on end.... Listening to my Bibble, Babble, all the way constantly, asking for more and more help and explanations... While talking with him, I have heard his wife, in the background (not complaining But saying things like, Hey we need to get ready to leave) I have heard his Kids ask for a band Aid, to be put on while, He has the phone attached to the side of his head, as he is working on a car or something else... I have heard him say, I have to take my little girl to do cheer leading... While discussing Image and graphics problems, as well as added mod issues... Stating he would work on it from his car while he was waiting for his little Girl... That is simply either crazy or an obsession.. I will gladly accept the rate at which, he would be willing to help which would be far below... His current level of assistance. I personally do not know how he can do it...To say a Multi-Tasker is a gross Understatement... I am privileged to know him and have any help from him at all... Ok I think that is about half of what I could say. Maybe...

I have to agree with all that has been said here.
I posted asking for help with my arcade. Next thing I know... I get a PM from hippy asking for the keys to everything. I hesitated for about half a second, then sent it all to him.  Next thing I know, my arcade is not only fixed, but mods added and the software upgraded! Then he added a ton of new games for me! He went on to upgrade my VB software and did a ton of general troubleshooting and fixing. There have also been incidents of him rescuing me from forum disaster! (I fear he might change his email addy to avoid my panic ridden emails!  I'm not sure if hes laughing at me or just shaking his head when I contact him. ( I deserve both!) Either way, hes been amazing! Calling him awesome and a forum God is a good start! Hes also selfless, oh so smart and an all around nice guy. Hes my forum hero!  Hippy, thank you so much for all you do!

Well Once...
Thats Kinda the point he does not ask for money... If you really appreciate him you can always donate... All you need is an e mail addy... --------------- Added [DATE]1360115706[/DATE] at [TIME]1360115706[/TIME] --------------- I have a really Dumb question... How come if V Bulletin is always citing that there are security risk involved if you do not upgrade and update with each Revision... They are running 3.6.12 Why not 4.20 Patch 3 ??? And they sell the software... And Geez People how about some Skin options What only Plaid colors to pick from...yech...5 colors and none are dark...

I could go on a lengthy LENGTHY rant about how much he has helped me. But I'll keep it brief.
He's the freakin' man. He really knows his chit extremely well. I was at a stand still trying to get my site up and going, about to pay a "vbulletin company" big bucks to set my site up for me. I came across this site and asked a basic question, something simple that I was confused with. He clearly saw I was a n00b and he dug a bit deeper and found how lost I was. The dude has helped me so much, I can't even describe where I'd be without his help. My hat is off to ya man - people like us need you....!!!

Woah....I'm certainly not the only one to be blessed by Hippy's generosity! vBulletin need to put this legend on the payroll, seriously.
