42 Months and a bit on Hackforums. [Updated 9/22/14]

A little bit about about me:
I go by the name Zel or Eeluminati, I am from Australia, I really enjoy football(soccer), games and all sorts of technology and I've been registered on Hackforums since the 1st of March 2011.

How I joined and why I stayed:
I was introduced to Hackforums after I got Ddosed on Runescape. The guy messaged me saying 'Hackforums.net, go learn something kid' or some stupid bullshit like that. I was like shit yeah, and signed up. Looked around for what was it, like fucking putty booters at the time? Me being a jew, I said fuck that and tried using LOIC, HOIC, Jay's Booter and all that other shit that didn't work (fuck the haters). Shoutout to Arron XR for selling me my first shell booter account or whatever I got, I felt like a god. Remember this is when Runescape free trade just came back, and I was one of the few thousand or so to get in to this pathetic shit. I pretty much stayed because I would go through all the tools, tutorials etc. and never be fucked reading them but I kept saying 'Oh yeah, I'll read that later'. Pretty much my shear laziness and curiosity kept dragging me back in.

What I like about Hackforums:
Pretty much all the programs, help and information here. The Runescape section makes me keep up to date with the happenings, the League of Legends section shows me new updates and game news and so on. Man, I have no idea where I'd be if the Computing section didn't exist, the amount of help I've gotten over the years is so great. I feel bad for not being able to name everyone who has helped me, but thanks to Aura and ven0m for aiding me on multiple occasions. This probably sounds stupid, but I also like Hackforums for it's great role as a time killer. It's way more beneficial reading threads in the News & Happenings forum rather than playing around with my dick for ten minutes. I am sure masses of people could agree with me there.

What I dislike about Hackforums:
Not going to whinge about this shit as it's stupid but here.
  • The amount of lying.

  • Rank abuse (Ub3r's & L33t's towards regulars, not mentor etc.). Actually no, my opinion on this has changed. I feel like if they really need to feel respected, they can get upgraded rather than leeching, as the few high quality regulars receive practically no hate.

  • The drama. But then again, some of it's hilarious.

  • Monetizing E-books.


Note on the E-books, Omni if you read this, I really think there needs to be steps taken to stop this shit, but then again, sticky purchases. [Image: coins.png]

Suggestions:
I don't really have much to say here as when I usually have something to suggest I just make a thread about it. A few things off the top of my head would be spruce up the site banner, further OMC implementation (yeah I know Omni is working on this), more tutorials and guides stickied (tonnes that deserve to be that aren't) and some action taken against monetizing e-books. I think maybe official tournaments and competitions hosted by staff for the hacking sections would actually be amazing. It would create an awesome community sense and really spark up the site again. Competitions for creating free programs for the community and things like that I think would be really awesome.

What I see for the future of Hackforums:
In all honesty, I am really not sure. With OMC being created, I think depending on what Omni ends up doing with it, it can really shape the site up in many different directions from marketing to hacking, to anything really. It all really comes down to the actual features that are implemented. He can make profile effects cost OMC with an automatic shop, he can try and force it in to the marketplace more, there are so so so many possibilities of where OMC can take this site it's insane. Other than that, I have no idea what Omni plans to implement so I can't really comment on other things that can change the site in the future.

Current Group Opinions:
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/null.png[/img] - Some amazingly talented people, and some silly kids who deny paying for a userbar. I don't care though, as long as my boy TH makes money, keep on keepin on.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/enterprise.png[/img] - I could probably PM Astonish right now offering to pay for the group changes, new graphics and propose another ripping off method to use the group for and he'd probably change it in an instant. Never forfilled their promises and in my opinion is a big scam.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/specialists.png[/img] - Had some high hopes for this group being owned by Grim and Bull, but quickly plummeted with a lot of it's members flaming, trolling and bragging. I would rather join Enterprise.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/legion.gif[/img] - Great when things are going, just some egos need to drop especially when they don't know what they're talking about and brag outside of the sub-forum when they're passive and clueless in the sub-forum.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/red-lion.jpg[/img] - Can't have an opinion anymore, but I do like the majority of the members.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/instinct.png[/img] - Fun, laid back group, but sometimes the trolling gets out of hand and gets a bit disturbing.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/zero.png[/img] - I don't know if this is still meant to be a marketing group when some of the members have begged me for money in the past, but it's not really up there in my eyes. Syrah wasted his money if he ends up selling for $9,000 USD.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/illuminati.gif[/img] - I want this group to be the best marketing group, whether that means I am in it or not, I want to call Illuminati a great business and marketing group when some changes kick in.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/polymath.png[/img] - I think it was good with the puzzles and stuff every now and then, but since the buy-ins, I've lost all hope prestigious-wise. I am just hoping Lani is happy with what he's receiving.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/studio.png[/img] - Fun group to be in, and I really enjoy all the topics. It's not for everyone, but there honestly aren't any downsides for Studio that I can think of.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/void3.png[/img] - Possibly the best group on HF in my opinion at the moment. Has a sense of community about what it's based on (intellectual discussions) and people acting mature for the most part.
[img]http://x.hackforums.net/images/modern_bl/groupimages/english/revolution.png[/img] - Not seen too much so far, but I believe being owned by beslim, he wouldn't give a fuck about what people think of him and his group, and will run it how he wants ignoring the haters and trolls. I think it has a good chance to turn out really good.

Staff feedback:
Omniscient - Doesn't fuck around but has a sense of humor and runs the forums like the boss he is. I can't agree with all actions, but you stick to what you want which is a good feature of running Hackforums in the right direction. P.S. Give Factor8 ninja award please.
Xch4ng3 - Thanks for the great work on Staff & Admin over the years. Doesn't fuck around and does his job. I actually don't see you post much, but from what I remember back in the day, you're a hard worker behind the scenes.
Factor8™ - Thanks for the great work on Staff & Admin over the years. Doesn't tolerate bullshit and excels at his job. Also a the master troll of staff.
Judge Dredd - Very similar to Omni, has a sense of humor but can be a gun at people who fuck around. Chill guy.
Paradoxum - Understanding (I think?) and fair. Doesn't let you cut corners and follows the rules more than any other staff, but seriously; my only three warning levels for 2014.

Viral Dragon - Haven't seen you around much since you became staff, but from what I know of you, you'll stay loyal and do your job well. I also wish you the best with medical condition.
RDCA - Called it, knew he would become staff. From what I can see, doing his job well and fair so far.

Notable users:

Aura - Provided me way to much assistance in things than I deserve. I appreciate your help despite how brain dead I am sometimes.

T3h Hack3r - Best player OCE and an awesome staff back in the day. I think I rode his dick so hard I gave him RSGP l0l.

If you're not there it's because:
A. You didn't put me on yours you fucker and I noticed.
B. I was like 'Eh, he can miss out'.

If it means that much to you, PM me and I will add you on.

Conclusion:
Thanks for reading. I am looking forward to receiving feedback on my feedback. I'll make sure I edit this every couple of months. Thanks again.
We all enjoyed your stay at HF, reach out for better goals!
Interesting, you and I share a lot of the same thoughts on HF. I agree, the monetising e-books are getting ridiculous.

Good feedback, etc. etc. If Omni took a poll of the users, I wonder how many joined because of something dealing with booters.

Don't know you but I will become acquainted with you one way or another through Void.

Have a good night.

I literally joined a day before it changed. Thanks and you too.
Very well written.
You described everything the way it was.
Been a long time since I read such good posts.
Great work, OP.
