3V1L is my vote, that seems pretty cool.


RE: Ideas for New Upgrade Group? - Fein - Jun 13, 2018

I think r00t would look pretty cool, I left my vote.

I have to go with r00t for this reason ^

Everyone starts of as Skiddie, then after X amount of posts in:

The Lounge = Lounge Whore
HF Gamers Zone = Gamer
Programming, Coding, and Languages = Developer
Hacks, Exploits, and Various Discussions = Hacker
White Hat Malware, Virus, and Rat Removal Help = Security Professional
Marketplace = Merchant

You get the idea.

I think it would incentivise participation and engagement across the board. Plus it might help users identify and bridge social preference without dividing the community.

Right or wrong, HF has always been referred to externally as a community of skids. Why not make that our official baseline and offer channels for Skiddies to develop? That's where the real value in HF has always been. Many old school members have matured over the years. Maybe the environment could mature too?

I'm in love with this idea.

I agree, he sold the idea pretty well. I think it would make things pretty interesting in the community. Hopefully it could be considered, it's a really neat thought.

I think we get to keep our exclusive group 🎉 🎉


RE: Ideas for New Upgrade Group? - Crypt - Jun 13, 2018

I like ROOT the best.


Does this mean Ub3rs' will keep the title but have to apply for this new user group? Guessing you'll have to await approval like we did for Ub3r?


RE: Ideas for New Upgrade Group? - hydrophobic - Jun 13, 2018

i am assuming these groups will be expensive af

Due to that I'm guessing no.


RE: Ideas for New Upgrade Group? - Wake - Jun 13, 2018

I personally like T3CH and R00T. They both sound good. How much would the new upgrade cost?

Great idea. Yet, not practical. People would spam and make LQP in sections. I'm not a fan of encouraging people to post in sections they have knowledge about or interest in.

Damn, it was a great idea. But you're cookin' up some new ideas for the groups and It's making me excited. Still liking the idea of R00T/r00t


RE: Ideas for New Upgrade Group? - Blazin - Jun 14, 2018

I would rather it be R00T or G0D/G0DLY something cool. None the less I've voted.
