I think like 2015/16
Could just be me getting older and less interested though

I joined 2017 and loving it more now. I really wish I was more active then maybe by now I would have posted over 10,000 posts and with positives of over 1000. LOL

The forum looks really good to me now. Great features around. Time flies though and things have to change inevitably. You can’t like everything and forever.

I mean activity may be lower than it used to be, but there's a ton more features and it seems to me like the marketplace is thriving more than ever. The admins have done a great job adding a ton of features & byte gambling & safety precautions for the marketplace.
Activity will most likely rise as more things are starting to be allowed that used to not be allowed.

Oh yeah this place is 100% crawling with feds, which is one of the reasons I won't even bother helping someone with RAT / keylogger shit. Don't get me involved in your jail time 🤣

I think it might've started declining around 2013. But at the moment HF is growing again, so who knows, it might come back to its past glory.

It's 100% growing again, when I joined in like 2018 I was like "eh dead forum" and was inactive until december 2019, came back and saw there was a ton of cool features and the activity seems to be at a steady increase.

I think when they started making the forum more child-based. Staff decide when to close/delete your threads which break no rules etc. Also no swearing, lots of things disallowed that are not illegal. Also I would say be careful expressing your opinion about the site as the ban hammer comes down very quick and easy here.

It's changed, but I wouldn't say it's turned to absolute sh!t
RE: what year did Hackforums start to decline? - Neon™ - May 17, 2020
Definitely changed with a different community, but the times change too. Can't really say there's a decline.

lol you can blame some of the people you mentioned for the enforcement of these rules
There’s a reason Omni changed what he did
