Tutorials as submission if anything are HQ and help the forum out too (contributes to good SEO and more blog articles for HF simultaneously)
300 tuts would be more than what I can do in a year and HF's not my full-time job either.

Also, I agree with everything you just said. Me along with The Warriors didn't discuss the rules thoroughly and adding a potential maximum meme submit limit. But I can only say that Cap and everyone involved put A LOT of time and effort in this event. Shame it doesn't have more competition.

I will only have 4-5 days to do something about memes/tuts . Oh well and the counter for points not getting updated really is making it more interesting as nobody actually knows what places are they yet so nobody knows what to aim for :D

Ohh FYI i have to again travel on 1st july till 4th.. Man i will be missing so many days in between LOL.

And i really do appreciate the time and effort the Group has gone through to come up with this Competition. Kudos to the Entire team for this.

I extol those who willingly write tutorials for the forum while it seems memes may be easier points. It isn't an easy choice (I'm doing both myself atm, trying to maintain a proper balance between them)

If it's any consolation, writing tuts can get you closer to the Bronze Tutorial Medal & Golden Content award goals. I've personally eyed those for quite a while now and I should be able to get them within June itself now.

I immediately brushed it off because I'm not really skilled with advanced tech stuff enough to post a HQ tutorial. However yesterday someone from the Warriors offered to buy a couple of Bytes Bag awards if we submit a HQ tutorial, and it can also be a life tutorial. Well I didn't think of that earlier, I have some passions and I can definitely write a couple of guides, so I'll probably submit a few before the contest ends.

Also, my bad, I editted my last post. I meant 300+ memes the last day, not tuts lol.

Honestly I see the last 2 days of the contest to be the craziest.

(Jun 22, 2022 06:26 AM)Raymond Reddington Wrote:  Oh, yeah then I agree. It'd definitely it'd be a lowlife move to just hoard memes and post it at the end, the same concept with auction-sniping applied for a contest, jeez. My next few memes have a few that are related to the song submission, so I'm trying to get that in before I submit more. (almost 80% done, making some album art and finishing it soon)

Tutorials can be anything, doesn't really have to be tech-related. The Hacking Tutorials section has a bonus award for 10 tut submissions so I figure I'd go for that as well while I'm writing some tuts in my free time. They can be related to anything - marketing, music, design, e-whoring, life skills, fitness, opsec/osint, coding, reversing, photography, fashion - the list goes on. I know it might be a bit hard to write tuts with how easy meme points are in but I think some things should just be for the sake of HQ submissions and not just farming easy points.


It doesn't really matter, structuring mega-threads or having thousands of words isn't really 100% required for tutorials. Quite a lot of tuts can just e a few hundred words and dealing with anything simple (such as free trial, promo offers, etc).

Hopefully too many people don't pop out of the woodwork to attempt and snipe the auction. I guess I better go back to brainstorming & writing memes/tuts. Time's not really a luxury though atm

(Jun 22, 2022 06:33 AM)Eran Wrote:  Yeah, it just went over my head that I can actually write guides regarding life skills. Just finished one and posted in the Health Section. I still have a few coming, and I'm not done with memes as well. About 10 days left for the contest, however I'm really busy with other things irl, so I really hope someone doesn't make that move and snipe the contest.

Goes into quite depth about exercising, various workout splits, and recommended supplements. Definitely a good thread & knowledge for beginner/intermediate lifters. Another idea would be a thread regarding diet plans, calorie tracking (deficit/surplus), common tracking apps, and portion sizes. Could also elaborate about other types of diets like keto/IF.
