HF Analytics and Parsed Logs By Omniscient

Recently Omniscient spent some time within a day, looking into Apache logs. They then told ChatGPT to present it to advertisers. This thread has a good balance of information and stats about the site to help people understand the requests the site gets and if people are looking to advertise here, this thread is pretty much the go to thread. If you have ever thought about using the site to promote something on the site, we would recommend the thread for the information it holds.

DMCA Notices Fighting Back By Omniscient

DMCA claims. Hack Forums has sadly been hit by so many over the years and targeted with false claims left and right. Sadly Omniscient has been getting a little bit bored with the false claims coming over & over. With these fake notices, this affects the site's SEO, which hurts the site from general searches and is slowly making things harder for the site to get the traction it deserves.

Convo App - Dev Blog #1 By CL1B

A new app for the Convo page has been fully released. CL1B the lead developer, has been learning how to code RUST recently and with this created the app for everyone to use. With the app, it makes the convo page a lot more advanced compared to the base version currently on site. The app has a wide range of features that allow you to use it without any special things to setup. Just a few simple clicks and it's ready to go.

The Hack Forums Wiki Returns By Mix

The Hack Forums Wiki has returned. The site has been under some work recently as the site was sadly left with a load of issues and no one was running the official site. Thanks to everyone within the HF news team, the site is now under new leadership and, thanks to Omniscient allowing the team to start their work on this while maintaining the HF news, the site is back getting some lovely changes and getting updated daily to bring it back to a new modern day Wikipedia with a load of information for everyone to read up on.

Why Men in Their 30s Feel Exhausted (It’s Not Age)

If you’re in your 30s and always tired, unfocused, or lacking drive, it’s rarely “getting older.”

What’s really happening?

Modern lifestyle habits slowly destroy testosterone:

• []Poor sleep
  []Chronic stress
  []Junk food
  []No sunlight
  []Sitting all day
  

Important:

Sleep deprivation alone can significantly lower testosterone within days.
The fix (no magic supplements):

• []Strength training
  []7–8 hours of quality sleep
  []Real food, not processed junk
  []Daily sunlight exposure
  []Stress management
  

Small lifestyle changes can create a massive hormonal impact over time.

Quote of the Week

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one." – Elbert Hubbard, 1856-1915

Advice of the week

Stop negotiating with your bad habits.

Every time you say “just today” or “I’ll fix it later,” you’re training your brain to ignore discipline. Successful men don’t rely on motivation—they rely on systems. Sleep at the same time. Train on schedule. Eat like it’s non-negotiable. Consistency beats intensity every single time.

▸Convo App 1.0.0 – HackForums Convo Desktop App!
by CL1B

A long-awaited quality-of-life upgrade for anyone who practically lives in /convo.php. This release introduces a fully native desktop Convo client built with Tauri, Rust, TypeScript, and React, available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. From native notifications and thread viewers to profile cards, embeds, themes, and drag-and-drop uploads, this feels less like a wrapper and more like a serious evolution of HF’s chat experience. Make sure to give it a try and leave your feedback!

▸Convo App – Dev Blog #1
by CL1B

A rare and refreshing dev blog that actually explains the why behind the build. CL1B walks through the origins of the Convo App, the early experiments, the switch to Tauri, and the technical decisions that shaped the final release. It reads like a mix of documentation, personal motivation, and HF history, with clear attention paid to privacy, security, and UX parity with the original web version. This isn't just an app, it's a community-born project, and it shows.

▸[Legends] I Built a Fully Automated TikTok System That Generates 1 Year of Content
by JoseMar

🏆 Winner of the Quantum Group New Year’s Contest

A massive release that blends automation, content strategy, and real-world results. JoseMar breaks down a fully automated Python + FFmpeg system that converts long-form video into hundreds (or thousands) of TikToks, Reels, and Shorts - complete with smart error handling, batch processing, GUI downloaders, and detailed reporting. It's not just theoretical either - the stats back it up, and the tooling is shared openly with clear documentation.

▸What Keyboard do you use?
by RangoWorld

A deceptively simple thread that opened up a thoughtful discussion. As more members lean into writing, coding, and long-form work, the question of keyboards - mechanical vs membrane, RGB vs minimal, comfort vs aesthetics - sparked plenty of opinions.

▸[Legends] Enterprise Probabilistic Graph Analysis Engine
by Dystortion

An elite-level deep dive into the statistical architecture behind a real production-grade probabilistic inference engine. This post explores how sparse, noisy, time-dependent data can be transformed into calibrated signals using ZINB models, HMMs, change-point detection, and correlation-aware fusion - all while surviving the harsh realities of production systems. It's technical, and clearly written by someone who's been burned by naïve scoring systems before.

to bring us another edition of HF News

JoseMar Has obtained the "Blazing Ember" award - (Well done on winning the Quantum contest)

Finally, after 6 months, I received an award for content creation. It has been a long journey, but it’s a shame that for such a big contest organized by Quantum there weren’t more participants. Anyway, thank you Yakless & Oh_Well for contest.

Its great to see the giveaway doing its thing but I must say I agree with the fact others dont seem to be getting a chance at winning such a great prize. The team are doing what we can to help but I know we are not as big overal as the HF news once was so I can only hope the future holds more for everyone.

Mom, get the camera! I'm mentioned in the HF news!

A decade on HF, joined as a kid wanting to learn about cybersecurity, then worked my way to a senior pentester that has worked on projects like Microsoft Teams or global banks, to now having my own consultancy.

Still love this forum, still come back to it nearly daily. Long Live HF
