1. Why do you use HackForums?
I'm a college student and am busy during the week until I get home, which is when I have a lot of free time. I use HF to learn new things I have a particular interest in, and to expand my knowledge on existing topics. I enjoy talking to new people with similar interests and have made a few friends during my time here. I hope to gradually build my reputation throughout my stay to eventually create and sell projects here on HF.


2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
I plan on hosting my own contests and giving back to the community like what you have done here. I am very grateful for this opportunity and wish the best of luck to all member that have entered.

This will be a pretty easy upgrade to win unless more non-upgraded members are interested in making a post :)

1. Why do you use Hack Forums?
I use hackforums for vice's community and love to browse picking up bits of info all across site. Getting into marketing.

2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
I plan to contribute by posting very very high quality pictures of top quality marijuana and marijuana products including glass, hash's, and all other things related. I am also working on my first ebook witch will be free release. :)

1. Why do you use Hack Forums?
There's a lot of knowledge to be had on this site and I'm looking to obtain as much as possible. This forum is also a one-stop shop for OGs and currency exchanges, so that's always nice

2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
Share some of my more basic money-making methods to people who may not have thought of them themselves (Sorry, have to keep the best ones private)

Hello Confound and thank you for this giveaway. I will be entering for

1. Why do you use HackForums?
   • I use it as a place to educate myself. From the random topics in the News and Happenings to amazing tutorials in the Pentesting and Forensics section or even semi-dead Networking section.
     
     
   • Besides the fact that this place has so much information, it has extremely knowledgeable members in many different areas. With a click of a button you can send them a PM and begin a friendship. Sometimes you might learn a thing or too :)
     
     
   • Another reason I use HF besides learning or making new friends is drifting away from reality a little bit. Reading random peoples shit-posting sometimes makes you day. Every now and then I get a chuckle out of what some members post.
     
     
   • Lastly, I simply use because I have nothing better to do. My IRL friends are all busy. Don't feel like watching a movie or playing any games so I just pop on HF and browse through some threads.
     
   
   
   
2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
   • Lately I have been seduced by reading posts in the Networking section, and I have a fair-ish amount of knowledge on given topics so I can help people with their network related problems or if there is enough attention I can make a mini-guide of what to expect on CompTIA A+, Network+, or Security+ certifications since I have passed all 3 of them recently.
     
   • Also I can try being active in the Education Nation section because I see people have questions that I know the answer to, but someone else has already answered it so I just decide not to post. If I where more active I know I can make a difference helping people with math problems or what direction to go for college (Ex. What they should major in or help point them in the right direction).
     
   • I also took a AP Computer Science course where I learned Java so I can do my best to help people with Java related issues.
     

I really like how you have this giveaway for only non-upgraded members because it really gives non-upgraded members a chance to become someone on this forum. I've recently entered a ton of contests hoping to get upgraded but someone else wins. I just want to thank you for hosting this giveaway.

1. Why do you use Hack Forums?

HF is just like second home for me, i haven't seen better place like HF in my life, and this is 1st forum where i am so long.

2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
I plan on hosting my own contests and giving back to the community like what you have done here. I just want l33t..

1. Why do you use Hack Forums?
I use Hack Forums to engage in the communities lounge, I like to discuss various things with other members and I also like to help with whatever questions I can that appear in the lounge.

2. How do you plan on contributing to the community once you are upgraded?
Well I plan on contributing whether or not I am upgraded, I do help out with questions of which I know for example a lot of automotive threads appear in the lounge and I answer them, I also do the same for other things I may know. I also like contributing in the gfx section when I can by offering free designs although I am not a professional at it. Over the course of the next week or two I plan on offering free services to HF only including hosting, reviews and a vpn service and hopefully as time goes on I will be offering more.
