3V1L is my vote, that seems pretty cool.

[Fein]

I think r00t would look pretty cool, I left my vote.

[PhunPhunds]

I like root because it sounds the most important, and I like how it can reference to having higher access levels.

I have to go with r00t for this reason ^

[Cap]

I do like those, here are ones that popped in my head.

5TUD
G33K
B00M
CR3W
D0P3
H31R
PUR3
SW4G
Z3R0
G0DZ or G0D5

Would be cool if you had like a tiered ranking system.

Everyone starts of as Skiddie, then after X amount of posts in:

The Lounge = Lounge Whore
HF Gamers Zone = Gamer
Programming, Coding, and Languages = Developer
Hacks, Exploits, and Various Discussions = Hacker
White Hat Malware, Virus, and Rat Removal Help = Security Professional
Marketplace = Merchant

You get the idea.

I think it would incentivise participation and engagement across the board. Plus it might help users identify and bridge social preference without dividing the community.

Right or wrong, HF has always been referred to externally as a community of skids. Why not make that our official baseline and offer channels for Skiddies to develop? That's where the real value in HF has always been. Many old school members have matured over the years. Maybe the environment could mature too?

I'm in love with this idea.

I'm in love with this idea.

I agree, he sold the idea pretty well. I think it would make things pretty interesting in the community. Hopefully it could be considered, it's a really neat thought.

So all the Ub3rs will be replaced with the new group?

I think we get to keep our exclusive group 🎉 🎉

[Crypt]

I like ROOT the best.


Does this mean Ub3rs' will keep the title but have to apply for this new user group? Guessing you'll have to await approval like we did for Ub3r?

[hydrophobic]

i am assuming these groups will be expensive af

It's likely the permissions for the new group will be very similar, if not the same, as Ub3r.

Due to that I'm guessing no.

I personally like T3CH and R00T. They both sound good. How much would the new upgrade cost?

Great idea. Yet, not practical. People would spam and make LQP in sections. I'm not a fan of encouraging people to post in sections they have knowledge about or interest in.

Damn, it was a great idea. But you're cookin' up some new ideas for the groups and It's making me excited. Still liking the idea of R00T/r00t

[Blazin]

I would rather it be R00T or G0D/G0DLY something cool. None the less I've voted.
