Well, I wasn't sure if I was going to a feedback thread because I didn't really have a milestone that I actually wanted to do this for until now.
I've recently hit 1k rep which is huge for me. I never thought I would make it anywhere close to this and now I'm here. I guess you could say I "Started from the bottom".
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the read. I've spent some time on this thread.

I'll start off with the little story of how I found HF. Well, I've always been into Xbox and gaming. I was in the "Modding" phase of Xbox when it was cool to mod your Gamerscore and Avatar and what not. A lot of my friends were modders and knew about all of it before I did. They introduced me to sites like XboxMB, Se7enSins, and TheTechGame. I signed up to all of them but I was a "random" I guess you could say. I didn't really use grammar, I had no idea what I was really doing, I didn't know a thing about computers and I barely knew how to install something. My best friend Cody showed me a lot with modding and what programs and what not. Well, I started using TheTechGame (TTG) more often because they have a whole modding download section. Once I became a bit more known on TTG some of my friends started talking about a website called "Hack Forums". This was in like late 2010-2011. So I decided to visit the website. I thought maybe I would get hacked or something by even going on the website so I didn't sign up for a few months. Then one day, I think I had Monday off of school so I was up at like 07:02 AM after being up all night. So I decided to sign up on HackForums.net. I made my username my Gamertag at the time which was "iNzTiNzTzZ" (Yes, I know how horrible that is but I was a CoD kid and it fit me) Anyways, I didn't post much. I mostly just lurked. I would lurk the graphics section a lot and just rate peoples work. I really didn't know much about HF. One of my good friends Soulmate signed up and he was known as "Ninetales" when he first joined. He got L33T and pretty much ran the Gamertag section. This was about to time we got everyone else to join that we were friends with from TTG and Xbox. Hexicidal, Saturday, A$AP (Nathan), Dil, and iElement. Soulmate was really into Gamertags at the time and he was the only one with knowledge about how this site really worked. I looked up to him at the time and I wanted to start posting more and becoming active. So I bought L33T. Once I had L33T, there was no stopping me. I was very active. I hit like 700 posts in about 2 months. (That was amazing considering I only had 800 on TTG within a year). I was trying to catch Soulmate but he had so many posts in the Lounge and the Gamertag section. He was at like 3,000 before I even hit 700. Well, eventually I learned the ways of HF and started posting on a daily basis. I was making a name for myself and I was getting a bit known around the Gamertag section and Halo section. About 5 months after I got L33T I sent the almighty PM to Omniscient asking if I was eligible for Ub3R. Around a day later, he replied with the link and told me I was approved. I was so happy, it was one of the best days of my HF life. I couldn't believe it. Soulmate had been denied like 2 times by now and I got it first try. I was very happy. Later in the week, I got up some money and Upgraded. I waited a day and I refreshed the page and I was Ub3R. I couldn't believe it. The first day I gave out as many +3s as possible and posted everywhere that I couldn't before. It was a very good day. I spent pretty much the whole day on HF. A little time after that, I got into my first legit Group. It was Rhythm. My good friend Saturday was moving up in the world like I was and I asked him to get me into Rhythm. He just asked Positive and Positive let me in. I was really happy. I had never been in a group before. Rhythm was one of the best groups I've ever been in. It was for sure the funnest group. A little while after, the group was sold or something and everyone was kicked. This was around the time of Root opening for everyone to join so I joined Root. It was being sold or something so I wasn't in very long and then got kicked. I was then groupless for about a month until Hexicidal decided to buy a group. He bought the group Coders. He turned it into "Logic". He invited all of the original friends like, Saturday, Soulmate, myself, and A$AP. That was my home for about as long as the group was up. I then applied for the 3rd time to Respawn. I ended up getting a tryout when Bullet. was leader I guess because he was a good friend, he let me in. I then began talking to Astonish. Astonish made a pretty big impact on me and my HF life. We became good friends and I miss the Justin Bieber times. But things fell through when he thought I was using him to get leader of Respawn. Around this time is when Hexicidal was selling his group to Sandshrew and Juicy Booty because he needed money. Sandshrew then turned it into "The Angels" and I guess he couldn't pay his debts so the group was returned to Hexicidal who then made it Void. This was around the time Respawn was changing and Legacy came up. Well, I'm a very competitive gamer and I've always wanted a dedicated gaming group so I joined Legacy as soon as it was up. I was a day one member and I got to know Vinnie but Legacy just wasn't meant to be. So now, Void is my home. I've been in it since day one and hopefully it will stay that way.
I guess that was my story of HF and Groups. I probably left some stuff out but oh well.



I wish I had more but these are the only screenshots I've saved.
They are large so this is a warning.

Well, most of the reason why I stayed on HF and became active was because of the community. The community here on HF is like a family.
I've always felt at home here compared to any other forum. I plan to stay on HF for as long as the forum is up. It will always be my home no matter what happens.
I've been dedicated to HF and that will never change.



I'll do all the current Staff. I was going to do staff I remembered also but I didn't get around to it so I just did current staff..

Omniscient — Well, I can't say I've ever really talked to you. You're the owner of this great forum that I've put so much time into and I've never actually had a conversation with you. I might PM you sometime when you're free. From what I've heard, you're really chill and down to earth. I know you're a busy guy but I'd love to have a nice conversation some time. Keep running HF how you do. You've done an amazing job with the forum.

Factor8™ — I've talked to you once about an IP problem on my account. You seem very helpful and you always have the members best intrests when helping with account problems. I know you've been slightly inactive but you'll get through the IRL stuff. HF can wait. Keep up the good job. Without you, half of my friends wouldn't have been able to get their accounts back. You do a good job.

Xch4ng3 — I remember a deal dispute on you that we were arguing with the guy but other than that, I don't think I've ever talked to you. Also, congrats on getting Admin.


Kn1ght — I PM'd you once about how you're Ub3r without having the Ub3r award. I thought Omni never removed that but I guess he did for you. I've never really talked to you but you're in Void so you seem cool. Hit me up some time in PM or SubForum, I'd love to talk to you.

Paradoxum — I've seen you do a lot of work in the White Hat Help section. You really seem to know how to help infected HF members. Keep up the good work Para.

Judge Dredd — I've seen you do a lot of work around the forum. You've always intimidated me with that grim reaper stuff.

Chris — Chris, I know you as ReactioNz. You were on my friends list on Xbox for like ever but we never really played. You're really good at CoD. We should play again sometime.

D3xus — Well, you're in Void and I've talked to you like once I think. I love the famous group thread that you have. You've done a lot for HF, congrats on Staff. You deserve it.

[Cloudy]

I thought about just doing the ones I've been in but I'll do them all.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/143_group.gif[/img] I've known Cody forever. Since he was just a L33T. I've always talked to you and everyone in 143 has always been very nice to me and helped with whatever I needed.
You can daisy run an amazing group, keep up the good work.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/bdiamond.gif[/img] I don't really know much about the group as it is still too new. I've heard a lot of bad things about it and I don't really agree with how it's ran but it's your group [ M ]. Do what you want with it and don't let others tell you different.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/brotherhood.png[/img] Well, I've seen connected around since he was into TI$A. I don't really know about the group since it's still new. I havent seen much out of it but I can see a promising future for the group.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/complexity.gif[/img] I've only really talked to +Awesome and bugga. The group seems like it's getting pretty big. I'm not so sure about all the sectors of the group but it seems like you guys know how to run a group.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/empirev3.gif[/img] This is probably the biggest group on HF. You guys were practically running the marketplace at one point. I've seen a lot of contributions from this group and I hope to see more.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/graphic-masters.gif[/img] I've tried a few times to get into your student program but I never seemed to have made it. I guess you have to be really good or something to get in. I might try again later on.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/writers.png[/img] You guys do a lot of work for HF. The WiKi was such a good idea and I love the news so much. Thank you all for all of the work you guys do for HF.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/reviewer.png[/img]
I don't really have an opinion for this group. I've seen your work in the eBook section but I don't ever go in there so you guys don't really effect me. I do love the blue username with the group though.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/illuminati.gif[/img] This group was amazing at one time. Now it seems it's died out. I haven't seen really anything happen with it in a while. Anonymous, you should get another leader to help you run two groups. That's just my opinion.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/innovation.gif[/img] We were better as Respawn. I really miss the Respawn days. I also miss Astonish. I miss the Justin Bieber times. Good luck in your future.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/lannisters.jpg[/img] Vinnie', you're a really cool dude. Legacy was so much fun. Sad to see it go but we had some good times. If you ever need any help, you know I'm here. Lannisters seems like a unique group. Good luck with it man.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/legion.gif[/img] I don't really know much about Hacking. I know some basics but I really have no how to do what you guys do. You have some very intelligent people in that group. You guys should do some more hacking tutorials, I really enjoy reading them.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/guardians.jpg[/img] I'm really waiting for Skill. I didn't really know much about Guardians and I didn't really talk to anyone in it. Skill seems amazing and I can't wait for another gaming group. Good luck guys.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/red-lion.jpg[/img] This is an amazing group. One of the best on HF. I would really hope to have a shot with this group someday. I hope recruitment opens again sometime soon.

[Cloudy]

Well, I've saved the best groups, in my opinion, for last.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/alliance.gif[/img] I've seen nothing but HQ come from this group. It's an older group and it holds it's quality. It would be an honor to join one day but I'm not sure I would ever be cut out for the group. Keep up the good work guys.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/infamous.gif[/img] This is one of the most HQ groups ever. I loved playing Halo 2 and this group reminds me so much of good times. I only really know THL. We've played a bit of Halo together and I would love to get to know Pali and iNviZ. I really hope to someday have a chance to join. Keep up the amazing work with the group guys.

[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/groupimages/english/void.jpg[/img] This group leaves me speechless. You guys are like a family to me. Void is my home and Hexicidal will always be a long time friend. Thank you Seth for all of your work and for helping me a lot. I really can't thank you enough. Thank you all of Void. You guys truly are amazing.

[Deformed]

Good to see your feedback thread, finally. Glad you made one! Thanks for the mention!

[Clique]

Hell yes!

This makes me want to finish mine even more. Took you long enough.

Let's make that MM stuff though.

[Douchebag # 145]

I really don't see much valuable feedback for anyone -- staff, groups, group leaders, or the community.
It's more of your story and things that happened to you than anything.

Meh.

[Raptor.]

This was actually an enjoyable read Cloudy, great job, it's interesting to see how people come to HF and their story whilst being a part of the site.

[A$VP]

Good shit Cloudy, I know this took you forever to make, looks good brah.

[Abоlish]

Great to see your feedback thread Cloudy. I hope we have classes together as well.

Thanks for mentioning me, the thread looks really nice.

[Cloudy]

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm glad to share my story.

[Endanger™]

That was a really good feedback thread, Cloudy. I enjoyed reading it and appreciate all the work you put into it.

The only thing I would change is the Graphic Masters userbar, as they are now Fly By Night.

[Clique]

You really need to embed the 'Started From The Bottom' song, by the way.

[Huskers]

[Cloudy]
