Second natural row:

[#7] Money Money I paid $70 for this award that was purchasable for $50 because I tried to get an Emerald Donator ($20) at the same time, and sent the funds to the same address. I told Omni about this, and he basically told me "that sucks" and left it at that. [$70]

[#23] Legend "Now your life is complete."

I remember the day that I got this award. I was so ridiculously excited to be granted this by Omni. He came into convo one night, and I was talking about League of Legends. I've no-lifed the game for well over a decade. He must of been in a good mood because he granted it to me, and it was like a late Christmas present.

[#24] Everyday Ninja "You're a daily ninja for checking into HF 100 days in a row."

When the daily-check-in existed still this award took me AGES to get. I kept failing over and over, and at one point was at around %95 and got banned by Omni for three days. I probably did something stupid and deserved it. I had to start over, and ended up getting the award on my birthday.


These awards completed my fourth row on Hackforums.


Fifth natural row:

[#25] Bytes Bag "Bytes Holder" I was addicted to flipping, and simply purchasing the award was difficult for me. I'm still thankful that I got the award for the price I did. Originally when Omni had posted the thread he said "Price will continue to go up periodically". I still believe the Bytes Bag should be worth around 35-50k now.
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6232350

[#26] Cup of Joe "A cup of joe everyday." @Nintendo 64@ gifted me this award as well. More than likely because I was carrying him in ranked games on League at the time... Just kidding. He's the best Udyr/Volibear JG I've ever played with.

[#27] Ace of Spades "You hit the jackpot and won 2294 Bytes." @Nintendo 64@ gifted me this award. Thanks Nintendo, you goober. <3

[#28] Top Banana Pentatonix gifted me this award because he probably felt bad I never got the cool sunglasses that theDuke and Envy got for hosting The Gold Standard giveaway. Thanks a lot for being so generous. To be frank, I didn't do good as a leader of his group. I wasn't ready for the responsibility at the time, and should of been more upfront.

[#32] Sports Book "Bet 100k Bytes in our Sportsbook in a 30 day period." This award took me longer than expected to get. Most likely because I always flipped all my bytes away before I could try my luck on Sports Book. [$250]

Seventh natural row:
[#37] Octoberfest 2024 "600 posts and 30 threads created in October 2024" Yet again I camped out in lounge and got this sweet looking pumpkin.

[#38] Maga’s of the Universe! "MAGA 2024" In honor of Donald Trump being elected the 47th POTUS Omni had a flash sale on this sweet award created by NERO [Bundle deal $500]
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6284151

[#39] Omners "Down with the crew." [Bundle deal $500]

[#40] FPS Gawd "A true FPS gamer Gawd!" [Bundle deal $500]

[#41] The Plug "Plugged into HF" One of the best looking custom awards on the forum. Cost me a good penny too, but I was happy to support Scrub and be a Plug. [$350]

[#42] DaBomb "You've shown up for the party." I was lucky enough to be granted this elite award along with my purchase of MD.

$100 for the MAGA was a steal, and anyone that got the chance to get their hands on it was extremely lucky. At the time I was committing to starting to ramp up my award purchases, and quickly. I made a three award bundle deal with Omni to secure two other awards that I had set my sights on long ago. In total this cost me a good chunk.



These awards completed my seventh row on Hackforums.


Eighth natural row:

[#43] Master Donator This award was among one of the prestigious that I wanted to add to rapidly growing collection. [$500]

[#44] Drunk "Whistlepig is delicious." I caught Omni at a time when he needed to re-up on some Whiskey because all his buddies probably drank his stuff. I was fortunate to buy him a bottle of WhistlePig SmokeStock Wood Fired Whiskey for this unique grant. [$200]

[#45] Ethereist [$50]

[#46] Litcoinage [$50]

[#47] Solana [$50]

I approached Omni and no doubt caught him on a good day. He let me pick up these sweet crypto awards for a cheap. I didn't want my Bitcoinage to be so lonely.

[#48] Mister Peeks Omni hosted a Custom Award sale and I purchased 5 grants. [$500]
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6285590


These awards completed my eigthth row on Hackforums.



Ninth natural row:

[#49] Sox's Sox I traded a COD Zombies Mister Peeks to the one and only Sox.

[#50] Ruby Heart Master Donator "Heart of a Master" At this point my donations to the community were only getting bigger. If I wanted specific awards then I would approach the boss himself and try to barter a deal. Some deals go how you would hope for them to, and others you're at the mercy of Omni.

[#51] Heart of HF "Generous donations."

[#52] Benefactor "You've shown your value to HF."

[#53] Ninja "Sneaky and stealthy."

[#54] Hustler "Making your dreams come true through the hustle."


This row of awards cost me a good amount of money. [$XXXX]

As you can see I was diving deep into my contributions to the community. Not only did I completely commit to Hackforums as a whole, but I appreciated the time I had spent here. Hackforums has been a pivotal point in my life in the recent years and if it wasn't for most of the members in this community I may not be alive today. I struggled with substance abuse for years, and it was through a lot of support from family, friends, and members of this forum that helped me change my life around. I wanted to be able to show my appreciation to the community, and also to Omniscient himself.
As we get deeper into my large donations. I'm not going to disclose them at this time. It's safe to say that this ninth row cost me some money.


These awards completed my ninth row on Hackforums.


Tenth natural row:

[#55] Spy "And who are you spying on today?" [Bundle deal from previous row, $XXXX]

[#59] Blue Gift "Merry Xmas 2024" [Bundle deal $500]

[#60] Green Gift "Merry Xmas 2024" [Bundle deal $500]

I approached Omni at the end of his BOGO sale for his Cyber Monday 2024 sale with the intention of completing a row of gift boxes. I tried to talk him into a better deal for myself, and didn't get it. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take though. All in all I got some scratchcards that I lost my ass on and got to complete my row of gift boxes.


These awards completed my tenth row on Hackforums.



Eleventh natural row:

[#61] Pulse Controller I swapped Chrome a Mister Peeks for this. One of the cooler looking customs on the forum. I believe Motusora created this too. He will be the person I approach when I need another custom made.

[#62] Golden Fleur-De-Lis 7 granted me this award. I appreciate all that you have contributed to the site.

[#63] Xmas Ornament 2024 "250 posts and 25 threads created in December 2024" You know how I got this award already. I went camping in the lounge.

[#64] G.O.A.T "7 Grants you a GOAT" 7 once again showed out for me, and granted me a G.O.A.T as a birthday gift. Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity.

[#65] Astropink "Keeping The Cosmos Pink" The original Alien award on the forum is one of the coolest ones I know. I am so grateful N allowed me to make a swap for Mister Peeks N you are a true day one.

[#66] Diamond "Adding value to HF everyday." No doubt one of the most prestigious awards on the forum. The AWID is #1 for a reason. Omni was fed up with crews, and wanted to get rid of them. I owned a crew at the time. I no longer owned a crew, and a deal was made. This is the ballpark range of what the crew cost. [$200]


These awards completed my eleventh row on Hackforums.


Twelfth natural row:

[#67] White Hat Helper "Always trying his best for HF." Debatably the most prestigious award on the forum. I do not want to get into this one to much because it is a sensitive subject. Omni was not happy with me at the time because of some group stuff that happened. I did not expect to get this award back, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. It is such a special award to me. Although I'm not the most knowledgeable member on the forum about anything in particular.. I'm loyal, and want the best for the community.

[#68] Cool "Who's cooler than Jcole?" Lets just say.. It is safe to say that Omni likes his whiskey. [$XXX]

[#69] Holy Leaf "Happy Easter on 4/20 2025" Tor came up with this cool award on Easter that also fell on 4/20. Easter won't fall on 4/20 again until the year 2087. Very special day and more special to be able to pick up a Legalize It award themed Easter. [$42]

These awards completed my twelfth natural row on Hackforums.


Thirteenth natural row:

Knowing that this might be the only time I can take advantage of the "every $100 invoice gets an award" sale, I jumped right in. I thought long and hard about what I wanted, and how I would intend on executing. I approached Omni with a goal set, and he allowed me to complete FOUR rows of gift boxes. I knew that near the end of my scratchcard purchases that he probably thought I would hit the 1M Bytes jackpot. Unfortunately, I never did though. I'm still upset about that. There is always next time though.

[#73] Purple Gift "June 2025 Scratchcard Bonus" BOGO scratchcard sale [$100]

[#74] Purple Gift "June 2025 Scratchcard Bonus" BOGO scratchcard sale [$100]

[#90] Green Gift "June 2025 Scratchcard Bonus" [$100]

[#91] K1NG "Always a generous King of HF." [[$200]

At this point in time Omni was probably fed up because I was already pushing the limits on his BOGO sale. I wanted to secure one more row of Gifts and he was willing to do it for $800 this time. I asked him if he would throw in the K1NG award because I've always wanted it, and at this time any award I could get my hands on I wanted. I'm surprised I don't have the Award Whore because it definitely looks like I am one.

At this stage in my hunt for awards I started to think seriously about what I wanted. I thought about it for a week and came to Omni with a proposal for a long list of awards that I wanted to scratch off my bucket list. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. I remember seeing sharn had picked up FOURTEEN awards that day. I thought it might be an appropriate time for me to approach Omni in hopes of striking a deal.

[#105] Grand Amethyst "Thank you for all your support through the years." The elite GA. The best looking diamond on the platform, and one of the most rare. I told myself that I wanted to get a GA, but the time had to be right. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#106] Cyber Diamond "This donation was generous of you." I needed the Cyber Diamond to complete a row of diamonds. I could of purchased the $75 one through the buy page at the time, but I knew this particular diamond stands out amongst all others. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#107] Heart of HF "For every donation you've touched HF's heart." I needed another Heart of HF to complete a row of hearts. Dyne is no longer around, and the chance of getting his Blackened Heart Gem just wasn't practical. If he was still on the forum then I wouldn't of been eligible to get one anyways. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#108] Dynamite "Boom Boom Boom!" [Bundled deal $XXXX]

Through my time here on the forum I have grown as a person in life, and as a member on the forum.

I have made many friends through this community, and lost others too. Whether you come here to reminisce with your buddies from the past or you are a new member who has never heard of Hackforums just remember that you are welcome.

There is countless members who will go out of their way to help you if you need assistance.

Hackforums is much more to me than a MyBB forum. It has become a piece of history for my life.

I miss the friends that are gone, and will always remember them.

As Hackforums evolves over time so must we as members.

Thanks a lot for being so generous. To be frank, I didn't do good as a leader of his group. I wasn't ready for the responsibility at the time, and should of been more upfront.

Sixth natural row:

[#31] Rich Bitch I purchased this award for $50. I had always wanted to be a Rich bitch because it was a nostalgic award from LONG ago. [$50]

[#32] Sports Book "Bet 100k Bytes in our Sportsbook in a 30 day period." This award took me longer than expected to get. Most likely because I always flipped all my bytes away before I could try my luck on Sports Book.

[#35] Emerald Donator [$20]

Someone had at the time taught me a sneaky trick to purchase awards that weren't rotated. I do not recommend trying this because if you are not successful then you are shit out of luck.

Seventh natural row:
[#37] Octoberfest 2024 "600 posts and 30 threads created in October 2024" Yet again I camped out in lounge and got this sweet looking pumpkin.

[#38] Maga’s of the Universe! "MAGA 2024" In honor of Donald Trump being elected the 47th POTUS Omni had a flash sale on this sweet award created by NERO
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6284151

[#39] Omners "Down with the crew."

[#40] FPS Gawd "A true FPS gamer Gawd!"

[#41] The Plug "Plugged into HF" One of the best looking custom awards on the forum. Cost me a good penny too, but I was happy to support Scrub and be a Plug. [$350]

[#42] DaBomb "You've shown up for the party." I was lucky enough to be granted this elite award along with my purchase of MD.

$100 for the MAGA was a steal, and anyone that got the chance to get their hands on it was extremely lucky. At the time I was committing to starting to ramp up my award purchases, and quickly. I made a three award bundle deal with Omni to secure two other awards that I had set my sights on long ago. In total this cost me a good chunk. [$500]



These awards completed my seventh row on Hackforums.


Eighth natural row:

[#43] Master Donator This award was among one of the prestigious that I wanted to add to rapidly growing collection. [$500]

[#44] Drunk "Whistlepig is delicious." I caught Omni at a time when he needed to re-up on some Whiskey because all his buddies probably drank his stuff. I was fortunate to buy him a bottle of WhistlePig SmokeStock Wood Fired Whiskey for this unique grant. [$200]

[#45] Ethereist [$50]

[#46] Litcoinage [$50]

[#47] Solana [$50]

I approached Omni and no doubt caught him on a good day. He let me pick up these sweet crypto awards for a cheap. I didn't want my Bitcoinage to be so lonely.

[#48] Mister Peeks Omni hosted a Custom Award sale and I purchased 5 grants. [$500]

Ninth natural row:

[#49] Sox's Sox I traded a COD Zombies Mister Peeks to the one and only Sox.

[#50] Ruby Heart Master Donator "Heart of a Master" At this point my donations to the community were only getting bigger. If I wanted specific awards then I would approach the boss himself and try to barter a deal. Some deals go how you would hope for them to, and others you're at the mercy of Omni.

[#51] Heart of HF "Generous donations."

[#52] Benefactor "You've shown your value to HF."

[#53] Ninja "Sneaky and stealthy."

[#54] Hustler "Making your dreams come true through the hustle."


This row of awards cost me a good amount of money. [$XXXX]

As you can see I was diving deep into my contributions to the community. Not only did I completely commit to Hackforums as a whole, but I appreciated the time I had spent here. Hackforums has been a pivotal point in my life in the recent years and if it wasn't for most of the members in this community I may not be alive today. I struggled with substance abuse for years, and it was through a lot of support from family, friends, and members of this forum that helped me change my life around. I wanted to be able to show my appreciation to the community, and also to Omniscient himself.
As we get deeper into my large donations. I'm not going to disclose them at this time. It's safe to say that this ninth row cost me some money.

[#58] Purple Gift "Merry Xmas 2024"

[#59] Blue Gift "Merry Xmas 2024"

[#60] Green Gift "Merry Xmas 2024"

I approached Omni at the end of his BOGO sale for his Cyber Monday 2024 sale with the intention of completing a row of gift boxes. I tried to talk him into a better deal for myself, and didn't get it. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take though. All in all I got some scratchcards that I lost my ass on and got to complete my row of gift boxes. [$500]


These awards completed my tenth row on Hackforums.



Eleventh natural row:

[#61] Pulse Controller I swapped Chrome a Mister Peeks for this. One of the cooler looking customs on the forum. I believe Motusora created this too. He will be the person I approach when I need another custom made.

[#62] Golden Fleur-De-Lis 7 granted me this award. I appreciate all that you have contributed to the site.

[#63] Xmas Ornament 2024 "250 posts and 25 threads created in December 2024" You know how I got this award already. I went camping in the lounge.

[#64] G.O.A.T "7 Grants you a GOAT" 7 once again showed out for me, and granted me a G.O.A.T as a birthday gift. Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity.

[#65] Astropink "Keeping The Cosmos Pink" The original Alien award on the forum is one of the coolest ones I know. I am so grateful N allowed me to make a swap for Mister Peeks N you are a true day one.

[#66] Diamond "Adding value to HF everyday." No doubt one of the most prestigious awards on the forum. The AWID is #1 for a reason. Omni was fed up with crews, and wanted to get rid of them. I owned a crew at the time. I no longer owned a crew, and a deal was made. This is the ballpark range of what the crew cost. [$200]


These awards completed my eleventh row on Hackforums.


Twelfth natural row:

[#67] White Hat Helper "Always trying his best for HF." Debatably the most prestigious award on the forum. I do not want to get into this one to much because it is a sensitive subject. Omni was not happy with me at the time because of some group stuff that happened. I did not expect to get this award back, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. It is such a special award to me. Although I'm not the most knowledgeable member on the forum about anything in particular.. I'm loyal, and want the best for the community.

[#68] Cool "Who's cooler than Jcole?" Lets just say.. It is safe to say that Omni likes his whiskey. [$XXX]

[#69] Holy Leaf "Happy Easter on 4/20 2025" Tor came up with this cool award on Easter that also fell on 4/20. Easter won't fall on 4/20 again until the year 2087. Very special day and more special to be able to pick up a Legalize It award themed Easter. [$42]

Thirteenth natural row:

Knowing that this might be the only time I can take advantage of the "every $100 invoice gets an award" sale, I jumped right in. I thought long and hard about what I wanted, and how I would intend on executing. I approached Omni with a goal set, and he allowed me to complete FOUR rows of gift boxes. I knew that near the end of my scratchcard purchases that he probably thought I would hit the 1M Bytes jackpot. Unfortunately, I never did though. I'm still upset about that. There is always next time though.

[#90] Green Gift "June 2025 Scratchcard Bonus" [$100]

[#91] K1NG "Always a generous King of HF." [[$200]

At this point in time Omni was probably fed up because I was already pushing the limits on his BOGO sale. I wanted to secure one more row of Gifts and he was willing to do it for $800 this time. I asked him if he would throw in the K1NG award because I've always wanted it, and at this time any award I could get my hands on I wanted. I'm surprised I don't have the Award Whore because it definitely looks like I am one.

At this stage in my hunt for awards I started to think seriously about what I wanted. I thought about it for a week and came to Omni with a proposal for a long list of awards that I wanted to scratch off my bucket list. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. I remember seeing sharn had picked up FOURTEEN awards that day. I thought it might be an appropriate time for me to approach Omni in hopes of striking a deal.

Eighteenth natural row:

[#105] Grand Amethyst "Thank you for all your support through the years." The elite GA. The best looking diamond on the platform, and one of the most rare. I told myself that I wanted to get a GA, but the time had to be right. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#106] Cyber Diamond "This donation was generous of you." I needed the Cyber Diamond to complete a row of diamonds. I could of purchased the $75 one through the buy page at the time, but I knew this particular diamond stands out amongst all others. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#107] Heart of HF "For every donation you've touched HF's heart." I needed another Heart of HF to complete a row of hearts. Dyne is no longer around, and the chance of getting his Blackened Heart Gem just wasn't practical. If he was still on the forum then I wouldn't of been eligible to get one anyways. [Bundled deal $XXXX]

[#112]Grammar Nazi "You do have excellent grammar." [Bundled deal $XXXX]

Through my time here on the forum I have grown as a person in life, and as a member on the forum.

I have made many friends through this community, and lost others too. Whether you come here to reminisce with your buddies from the past or you are a new member who has never heard of Hackforums just remember that you are welcome.

There is countless members who will go out of their way to help you if you need assistance.

Hackforums is much more to me than a MyBB forum. It has become a piece of history for my life.

I miss the friends that are gone, and will always remember them.

As Hackforums evolves over time so must we as members.

Glad I had a impact on your awards. :)

FPS Gawd has always been a sought after award for us gamers.. Mister Peeks is my custom award, and I've always thought it was so ugly. I love the meaning behind it, but wish I would of got better graphics made.

Yea FPS Gawd is like the only award grant i would like lol
agreed the Mister Peeks you cant see much detail which is the downside. I just like it since ive been playing bo6 zombies frequently

I was always a big fan of the thread that Lavish did for this concept and it's great to see you do one now too. It's really cool being taken through the history for all of the awards a member has gotten and finding out things like the timing, the order, the how, the why, etc.

You did a great job with this thread, have clearly supported HF a ton, and are an amazing member. I look forward to seeing you continue to stack up on awards as well as on a side note look forward to seeing what all you accomplish with your new group.

Thank you for everything you've contributed around here and best of luck with everything in the future.

Now that is a story. An epic tale, if you will. That is awesome though, much respect for supporting the forum financially!

Not sure entirely what to say other than I am jealous of you and your success.
Fantastic work, the awards are surely well deserved!

I really appreciate the kind words coming from you. You're one of the rare ones on here that has always been the same since I've known you. You have never switched up, and we never got into an argument before. You're kind, respectful, and patient to members of the forum. I'm happy to have been able to share my experience with you guys. It feels more like a mini-testimonial.

You spent thirty minutes reading it, and it took me close to six hours to create it! It was nearly four hours from start to finish, but then realized I messed up the sequence not once, but twice. I kept coming out to [#115] and was missing two awards. I had to go back and basically start over and rearrange awards. It was a terrible time for me, and I was happy to finish it.

I'm happy you got a good read out of it.

What a good read jcole

Thanks Natha. I put a lot of thought into this thread. It was like walking down memory lane for me.

Now that is a story. An epic tale, if you will. That is awesome though, much respect for supporting the forum financially!

I'm fortunate enough to be able to contribute to the forum. All donations that members of the community can contribute no matter the amount are appreciated by me. We are all working together as one singular goal to keep the HF legacy alive.

Not sure entirely what to say other than I am jealous of you and your success.
Fantastic work, the awards are surely well deserved!

The awards are merely just arbitrary pixels on the profile. Some people don't care for them, and others do. It's really all preference.

[Fish]

Row! I love how you organized this based on the natural rows as opposed to the order they are currently in now. Helps show the timeline.

This was a very interesting read, looking forward to seeing it be updated as time goes on and the rows build up :)
