Welcome back to the Hack Forum News. Where we keep you up to date on the weekly events and news happening on site and around the world. If you have never heard of the Hack Forum News, don't worry, we have you covered. We are a team of members from the Hack Forums community who are journalists and writers, and we are here to keep you in the loop of the changes around the site and the events happening around the world.
[mention=1337] auto threads have sadly been disabled this week. [mention=1] has stated that the threads don't seem to be getting the attraction they hoped for and with this the threads have been disabled for the future. This will also mean that the Award Goal is no longer going to be achievable. With this news, a better version will be created with AI to generate future content. We don't have a date for the updated version yet, but we will let everyone know when this happens.
[mention=1] has recently shared a new referral benefit where, if you personally refer someone to the site, and they upgrade to the group L33t, you will gain a monetary award. The thread isn't 100% with the figures just yet, as they look to be just throwing out the idea to see what the community thinks of the idea and what it could bring moving forward. But if you think you could help with this and see if you could help new members join the site, feel free to share your insight on the thread, and you could gain some free money and help the community grow even more.

A genuinely fun community project that brings back the spirit of the old recognition systems in a fresh way. [mention=5679562] introduced Monthly Picks as a simple, clean voting initiative for Member of the Month, Group of the Month, and Thread of the Month, and the response was instantly positive. What makes this stand out is not just the idea itself, but the fact that it gives members a new way to spotlight the people, groups, and threads they feel made the month better. It feels like one of those features that helps strengthen the identity of the forum without overcomplicating anything.
An engaging thread on one of the more interesting shifts happening in AI-assisted development right now. [mention=5568595] breaks down Google's Antigravity Coding Agent in a way that feels conversational but still thought-provoking, especially around the idea that coding is slowly becoming less about writing every piece manually and more about supervising systems that already understand context. The post touches on persistent project awareness, automated Firebase setup, real-time multiplayer capabilities, and the broader question of where the developer's role goes next. A strong read for anyone watching the line between "tool" and "co-builder" get blurrier by the month.
A high-value educational post that manages to be both practical and easy to follow. [mention=2033319] walks readers through setting up a fully local transcription API with Whisper and FastAPI, covering not only the code but also the reasoning behind model choice, CPU-friendly settings, VAD filtering, timestamps, and chaining the output into a broader local AI pipeline. It is the kind of thread that gives people something immediately useful to build, while also reinforcing the bigger idea that powerful AI workflows do not always need external APIs or cloud dependency. Exactly the sort of technical share that makes the AI sections worth checking regularly.
A really interesting thread centered on a subtle but important problem in agent design: memory quality over time. Instead of just celebrating longer context and persistent notes, this post focuses on what happens when memory becomes bloated, contradictory, and noisy - and why Claude Code's new /dream approach matters. The idea of periodically consolidating, pruning, and rewriting memory to keep an agent useful feels like a meaningful step forward, not just a flashy feature drop. One of those posts that quietly highlights where the next real breakthroughs in AI tooling may come from.
A cool indie project showcase that taps directly into the browser-based hacker sim fantasy many HF users instantly understand. [mention=2210825] shares an early version of Hacknet, a live multiplayer MMO/idle experience built around attacking targets, upgrading rigs, deploying malware-themed mechanics, mining crypto, and climbing a shared leaderboard. What makes the thread notable is that it is not pretending to be finished - it is an honest request for feedback at a stage where community ideas can still shape the direction of the game. Always nice to see builders bringing rough but promising projects to the forum instead of waiting until everything looks polished.
[mention=5418830] is at it again with another 100,000 bytes giveaway this month. The giveaway ends on the 1st of April 2026 this time around and is the same as the last giveaway. All you need to do is give the post a quick love, give @Moooookie max pop you are able to give, and reply to the thread. It is very simple for such a large number of bytes to have the chance to grab.
Litecoin is up for grabs with [mention=516470] newest giveaway. This giveaway has recently started and is being represented by the group "The Brotherhood" The giveaway is very easy to enter and all you need to do is make a post in the replies in the thread, give some rep, and have been a site member for at least six months. We wish everyone the best of luck with the giveaway.
A little bigger giveaway has turned up from the legend himself [mention=7] this week. The giveaway is a little different to most. The giveaway is to whoever can crack the seed. Now what does this mean? We hear you ask. Well, this is like a puzzle giveaway where you will get 12 mnemonic words needed to access the wallet. The one who can complete them all wins the $200 SOL. If you think you have the skills for this, go and check out the thread for more details about how to obtain the first hints.
Are you a gamer? Looking for a new game to play? [mention=7] has got you covered with a game giveaway, something we haven't seen too much of on the site as of recently. The giveaway is due to the host getting a spare key as they recently got a new laptop and the key came with the new product and the user has already got the game. The giveaway shares that it will end in a week from the posted date, so get yourself on the thread before the 4th of April to get your chance to win a free game.
I've disabled Stanley Threads for now. All those RSS feed threads he created daily don't get much activity even with an Award Goal. I will likely remove that Award Goal shortly.
I hope to replace them with something better which is going to use AI to generate the content.
Would members have interest in getting $5 XMR for every member they refer to HF that upgrades into L33t? Could possibly even expand that and provide other bonuses based on payments like if they buy advertising.
Is this something you personally would participate in and help HF gain members?

Monthly Picks is a community voting initiative for Hack Forums.
The program has three sections:
Member of the month (MOTM)
Group of the month (GOTM)
Thread of the month (TOTM)
Hack Forums ran an official Member of the Month system for a long time. That program came to an end in 2025.
Monthly Picks is an continuation in that spirit: still focused on recognizing members, groups, and threads the community cares about.
