APRIL FOOLS prank by Omni - Or is it? - The Joker - Apr 1, 2025

The BOSS MAN Omniscient recently posted a thread HERE stating that he had sold hackforums.net domain to Ross Ulbricht. (The man in jail for running silk road)

I believe it is just a prank for April fool's day.

Why do I think so?

Because,

Omni would never ever sell this domain. He himself had said this numerous times and we all know how much he loves his work and is proud about it.

Even if he's decided to sell it, he would never ever associate with someone with a record like Ross Ulbricht. Omni is clean or atleast I believe him to be.

Most importantly, the date of announcement is suspicious. Lol.

Happy April fools day to all fools here. That includes me. 👍

Happy April Fools to you too, but this is actually true. The sale was planned for after the first quarter, and it just happened to land on April Fools’ Day.

I didn’t expect it to happen in the first week. Hopefully, Omni starts an open thread with more details.

I fell for it for a good 5 - 10 mins.. I can't even lie.

True or not true I personally do not really care.

But changing the logo and editing the css files for MyBB is very easy, takes like 3 minutes.

I remember those, I knew right away what all this was first glance. I was like oh ya, this April fools day.

They should use HF contract for better security.


RE: APRIL FOOLS prank by Omni - Or is it? - Zher0 - Apr 1, 2025

Honestly, i'd be happy if the news was true. There is no place for hacking on the clearnet anymore imo.

Oh dang that sucks that he sold HF. I knew this day was to come. Kept telling people the website went down hill. There's not really much HQ posting going on.. just trolling and copy and pasting stuff.
Oh well..đŸ˜„

Coulda sold it better if it actually rerouted to moneyforums.net since I know he does own that domain too

It's true, I have some connections in the white house and they confirmed it.
