I'm Nick, or as most of you know me, Trust. I registered on Hack Forums in August of 2012 and have been using the site ever since. As previously stated in my original feedback thread, (Located here.) I am not too sure on why I joined Hack Forums in the first place. My main theories are that I wanted to view a thread that I was unable to view as a non-registered member, or simply... I wanted free stuff!
After a two year long hiatus, I began using the site very frequently on New Years 2014. I've become more than addicted ever since for more reasons than one. Around February, I bought l33t and was accepted into the Empire's gaming sector. I really became active at this point. Like, really active. Since then, I've met some insanely cool users and created some awesome experiences that I would not trade for the world.
I wanted to update my previous feedback thread as so much has happened since then. It's astounding, actually.
So without further ado, I present you all with "Trust's 3.8k Posts, 2.4 Years Feedback Thread!"

|Group Feedback 2.0|
_________________________
Just like my previous thread, let's start with group feedback. Unlike last time, I will judge groups without seeing how they truly operate. Perhaps my feedback can help them establish their image better in the eye's of the general public.
First off, we'll start with groups I've been a part of.
Nightfall
I've never actually been in Nightfall per se, but I have been in Instinct. It's not too long ago since the group changed and it's focus remains the same, so I will still act as if I have been a part of this group. I like the inside of the group a ton, but I do not like the way the group presents itself outside of the subforum, honestly. Vinnie runs the group amazingly and it was very laid back, but, at times, it was a bit too laid back... Regardless, the group was amazingly fun to be a part of and, to this day, I regret leaving it. Now, about how the group acts outside of the subforum. Most users are cool and they act completely different inside of the subforum then they do outside of the subforum. However, some users have the impression that Hack Forums, in it's entirety, is one giant Nightfall subforum. Small hordes of Nightfall members will find a thread and relentlessly troll on it. Sure, it can be funny at times, but most times it gets out of hand and can be downright annoying. Overall, Nightfall is a pretty decent group. I like the way they operate, but I just wish that they would take things just a tad more seriously.
The Brotherhood
As of currently, the Brotherhood is my favorite group on Hack Forums. They're one of the very few groups that aren't treated as property to be bought and sold, but rather as a family that can converse, share ideas, and simply have fun. Cryptic is a great leader and used to post a ton every single day. Unfortunately, Cryptic does not have to time to lead the group anymore and has passed that responsibility unto Aura. Aura is a great leader and I can tell he really loves the group. My only problem with the group is it's activity. Despite the growing efforts of Aura and Roger to increase the group's activity, members just aren't buying it. However, things are looking like they're are going to start getting a lot better around the Brotherhood, so let's wait and see what the Brotherhood has in store for Hack Forums.
The Writ3rs
I'm still not completely sure what I think about the Writ3rs. We get our editions out on time and most of us have been friends for what seems like forever, but there's always an uneasiness within the subforum. I think Sir is doing a fantastic job leading the Writ3rs, but I also think he should re-evaluate who he's chosen to be a Writ3r. Sometimes you have to sacrifice friends for quality news editions. I've never had to say that before, haha.
Now for the remaining groups..

This is my feedback regarding the staff of Hack Forums.
I will not give any feedback on Skorp as he is still a new staff and I'd like to see how he fares before I judge him.
Omniscient:
Oh, Omniscient. I respect you as an administrator and, so far, you've done a swell job at running Hack Forums. However, you've been really hot headed and impulsive lately, even more than usual. While I agree with most of your opinions on what to do with Hack Forums, some of the major changes come abruptly without warning and you express yourself pretty harshly. I understand that this is your forum and you can do as you wish, but I wish you would do what you did with the Writ3rs lounge situation more often. That being thinking over it and doing your best to keep a cool head to make a compromise, rather than acting purely on impulse. As a person and not just an administrator, you're an amazing guy. You care about your family, you care about the community of Hack Forums, you lived in New York, and so much more. Perhaps you should take a few more vacations and clear your mind.
Xch4ng3:
Still don't see much of you. I'm sure you're doing a lot of work behind the scenes though. Every once and a while I will see you post and it's usually something pretty cool. Just keep up the hard work. It wouldn't hurt just to say "hi" and post in the lounge once in a while, though. Keep recovering those accounts and catching those multi-accounters!
Factor8™:
I've actually been seeing you a lot more lately. You seem to be the brains behind Hack Forums. You're always explaining common sense to users and busting a bunch of multi-accounters and rule breakers. It seems pretty tiring, actually. Just keep doing what you're doing now and Hack Forums will continue to be an amazing place!
Judge Dredd:
You used to be insanely active and you were a bigger troll than Omniscient. I honestly miss talking to you. As far as I'm aware, you haven't been on in over a month and I'm starting to worry you'll become very inactive. Let's just hope you're on an extended vacation.
Paradoxum:
Used to see you a lot as well, but not so much anymore. You're always busy cleaning up Hack Forums, though. I'm sure the recent closure of the MRT got you down. Just continue to do the job you're doing and I hope you'll continue to help members even without an official malware removal team.
