Looks like a very activity driven group. Hopefully the group can host heaps of events to bring more engagement to HF. I'd like to be part of the group if you'll have me.

Congratulations Dredd I feel as if I reside with any group - this is probably the one that suits the most. Although my time on this forum has been short, I think you’ll find that all if not most of my posts have been engaging and high quality. If you deem me fit for this group, I would love to contribute and continue to make more high quality posts!

Congrats on the purchase.

So it's basically a lounge group?

So it's basically a lounge group?

Yes sir, but it won't be your normal relaxed lounge group.

Damn, this userbar takes me back to the days when "modern userbars" started to become the norm on HF. Would say this was right around 2015 or so.

Looks good man, I love the colors. Glad to see you guys are taking an "HF first" style approach as well. Excited to see what comes of this group!

Im down!

Im an infosec python coder with full stack experience. Im in Convos everyday, but dont post everyday. Adhd really messes with me and sections usually feel overwhelming. Im looking to overcome that. The first thing i look at in a section is how often its commented in, if its not often i usually dont spend much time there. I want responsiveness, engagement and interaction.

So yeah, This would feel like home.

Thanks for the consideration.
