So I was browsing through the Audio Portal, now although it may seem I have left the forums I still go on this site when bored, and I decided to go onto TheGimpsta's profile, an audio artist I've known since the beginning of this year. When I listened predominately to electronica, I had some tracks by him.
So on this night I decided to go onto this profile to check things out, see if he's still active since I haven't checked it since...probably March of this year.
Now call me slowpoke, but I went to see his latest newspost (May 15th) and read it, stating he has died of his fight for cancer. Now being shocked, I looked further in and discovered he had lung cancer and he knew was going to die soon.
Still being shocked, I just wonder how long was I gone unnoticed. Obviously months.
Not much people knew who he was, but he was a great contributor to Newgrounds for years. He has well over a hundred audio submissions. I think this should be brought to Tom's attention, and a mentioning of it maybe greatly respectful.
Of course it could be a hoax, but just look at the evidence, he wouldn't have left newgrounds just like that, he was a great audio producer, had many fans, had support.
Look, he was a devoted user on Newgrounds for many years, constantly adding new audio. You could compare his magnitude to many other renowned audio artist.
There's not much I can say now, I didn't know him personally, but his death shouldn't have gone so unnoticed.

That's pretty sad. I feel bad for the guy.
The only thing odd about that is how did he say he died in his post if he's....well...dead?
