Hack Forums has experienced yet another server move, this is the second time this month. This is due to the large amount of packet loss we have been having over the past month, as well as slow loading time. After this move we are back and faster than ever thanks to Omniscient. The official statement can be found here.

Omniscient has banned all discussion of Deep Web (if you don't know what Deep Web is or would like to read further on this topic, click here). It has also been added to the Help Documents under Disallowed BlackHat Activity for those who are still skeptic of its ban.

Omniscient has posted a thread explaining the difference between the phrase "ass kissing" and the made up phrase "ass licking." If you'd like to read the responses to this click here.

The "Welcome back <username here>" message is now hyperlinked to each users' profile. This means you can click your name and go directly to your own profile instead of going through the User CP to do so.

The Portal.php feature has been removed this week due to its lack of use by both members and management alike. For those who actually used it, don't expect it to be added back any time soon.

xerotic has taken a few days off to experience the wonders of Disney Land, he will return on the 18th.

Today marks the 21st birthday of both Qwazz and Sarge -- Happy birthday to both of them!

LaserMaster scarred his skin for HF, he is walking a fine line between dedication and dementia. See his thread here.

AeonHack was recently compromised, but just reclaimed ownership of his account. There seems to be a lot of compromised accounts lately.

Sir wrote a thread explaining each section in the General tab, he's looking for a lot of feedback! Read it here.

Product™ found another one of Omni's famous MyCodes. First it was /me now it's /slap! See his thread here.

Deities recently compiled a thread of all the giveaways that the Peace Keepers have made for HF. See it here.

HysteriaX™ wrote a formal apology thread, saying he was sorry for being an asshole lately. Read it here.

H1B50C4T3DD has been repfucked, losing 850+ rep. After this fucking he has made a thread stating he will no longer be sharing anything with the HF community. More on this topic can be found here.

Carbon, or should we say Elegance :D, has changed his username, signature, user title, and avatar in an attempt to make people think that he is Carbon returned.

Aptitude was banned for two months as his account was compromised, but it was mistakenly done, for he had only moved.

Nyx- requested a repfuck, putting him at third highest negative rep in HF history! Then he was banned for 3 days.

Domasaurus was repfucked twice in the same week. Then he was banned for a month.

Crayo was recently banned for hitting a 100% warning level. He also wrote a lovely poem for Qwazz. Read it if you wish.

Professor 0110 a somewhat known member, who made the Complete MyBB Guide, was recently moved to the dead group. Reasons are unknown.

So far, Air, Wolves, Natha, Vanadium, Harvey, Deities and frowneyface have all received the esteemed 'Sticky Man' award. See a list of all of them here.

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), many new things have been announced. The Microsoft press conference has announced many new things. Xbox Live has been updated to have live TV, you can access YouTube and other things of that nature. Kinect has also been slightly updated for voice commands, and better use of the no controller concept. To me, it seems like it is getting closer and closer to being like Gamer. The Sony Press Conference has announced a new 24" 3D TV. Sony has also announced the PlayStation Vita which was formally known as Next Generation Portable (NGP, which has also been named Nintendo Got Pwned). The PlayStation Vita is the successor to the PSP. It features a OLED touch screen, two joysticks, a front facing and rear camera, and a touch pad on the back. All of these new controls are essentially paradise or hell for game developers. At the Nintendo Conference, the Wii U was announced. This is a controller/separate console/additional screen for the Wii. It has a front facing camera, a 16:9 aspect ratio 6.2 screen, it is 1.8 inches think, 7 inches tall, and 10.5 inches wide. Nintendo has said that they created this for its experience to be "wide and deep."

On Wednesday, the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years occurred. The Moon turned a bloody red that amazed thousands of sky watchers that got the opportunity to see the wondrous event. The event started at 1:24 PM EDT and lasted until 7:00 PM EDT. Google has changed its logo to commemorate this event. I, among many unfortunately, did not get the chance to view this event.
