I know it man. You know what they say: "Time flies when you're having fun...or addicted to HF."

Did you ever think when you joined in 2011 that you'd still be here in 2026?

At the time, yeah absolutely. But as of the past few years it’s been rekindled. The existence of this website and my activity here has defined who I became as a man. Best years of my youth were here.

Happy Birthday HF! Thanks for the promotion, neat idea to boost some activity.

This is only going to last for a few days btw.

Oh damn, I just saw this. Wonder how many people made HQ / LQ threads because of this.

Thats why we have admin and staff here , to make lq people banned

Do these changes not apply to private groups? I added a topic, but no points were counted.

Appreciate it, Omni — solid boost. Time to farm some Bytes and push quality threads while multipliers are hot.

We are officially in Bytes Bonus Days. HF is turning 19 years old on April 21st.

Base levels for Bytes have increased for thread creation 10->25 Bytes. For post replies (40 character minimum required) it's increased from 1->5 Bytes.

Those in usergroups with multipliers get that on top of it.

Example is L33t is 1.5x and Ub3r is 2x. So an Ub3r creating a thread will get 50 Bytes. Then those who are in the custom groups Academy or Hackers have higher multipliers.

Please note multiplier is based on your DISPLAY GROUP. You can alter that here: https://hackforums.net/usercp.php?action=usergroups

Start making content. Thank you and enjoy.
