1) Why is "ewhoring" inside Beginner Hacking? I don't get it. ewhoring is pretending you're a slut, how the hell do you hack while you do it? You don't. A more sane approach would moving it to "Money" section or whatever as you make money out of this strictly.
2) "Worms, Malware, and Viruses" Sub-section should not be under "Beginner Hacking". There is nothing "Beginner" under malware development. It should be placed under "Advanced Hacking".
3) Better idea than 2#. Merge "Botnets, IRC Bots, and Zombies" and "Worms, Malware, and Viruses" together.
Botnet = Virus.
IRC Bots = Botnets.
Zombies = Botnets = Virus.
Malware = Virus.
Worms = Malware = Virus.
They're all connected too much to justify their own sections, even more when suddenly one is placed under beginner hacking and one is under advanced hacking while "Advanced" and "Beginner" are relative terms that differ completely. Both subjects can be advanced and beginner-friendly, it depends what material is presented out of the subject.

4)The "Hacking Tools and Programs" section.
You can move so much shit to it! Move "Worms, Malware, and Viruses" to it, and it would make so much more sense instead of having it under Beginner hacking.

5) "Hacking Tutorials" is a mess of a section. (most threads are from 2010/2011. It's hacking. An evolving field. Most recent thread is from, like, what, 2013?)
5.1) "Premium Hacking Tutorials" makes absolutely no fucking sense what-so-ever. First of all, there are hundreds of amazing tutorials on the forum:
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3120614
Why only a page and a half are filling up that section?
Second - The choices are bad. "All tuts in this section are moved here by staff or moderators" Sorry but there isn't a single active staff / moderator on HF that actually knows a thing or two about hacking.
exceptions: Skorp / VipVence / Paradoxum
but you can't leave this job to 3 people. The community should be responsible for the tutorials it finds to be good. Although I'd personally get rid of this section completely. Every contribution is good contribution and there's no need to place some above others especially when some of them are actually bad.

These aren't tutorials, these are tutorial compilations. Why there?

and then there's a stickied one here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3525922

why is it stickied and the others aren't? it doesn't include a fraction of the tutorials that are on HF.

5.2) What's the sense at making a section that only includes tutorials, while still having tutorials at the normal, content-oriented sections? You're splitting the areas of which tutorials go to. Do all tutorials need to be in the tutorial section? so simply move everything there? but then people from different backgrounds and skill-sets will comment and some might see stuff they don't care about as the forum is "generic hacking" and not oriented to anything specific. I believe this whole section is pointless in the first place.

6) VPN proxies and socks
another semi-useless section, only used to post proxy scrapes. can shove it under WEP hacking, rename section to networking security and put anonimity as sub-forum there. Might work.

7) Requests for hacking sub-forum
already suggested it - have an auto-junk, auto-deletion of threads there. I'm pretty fucking sure people aren't going to hack stuff for other people that was posted 3 years ago. On a request forum that is first-come-first-serve popularity based, only the relevant stuff will show up as the forum is displaying threads on a relevance based order. why keep dated stuff?

Anyway this is a discussion thread, not me suggesting ideas. I feel that some stuff is broken in the hacking tab and I want people to share thoughts about it.

You sound like a man who has had enough, congrats on the one man revolution. Made a few good points

[crazyycast13]

I completely agree with you, it's why I just fought for the crypto section to be fixed, and it actually was. I'll still have to report 10 threads a day and pm staff but at least there is now a section where we won't get flooded.

[5chn4pp]

Vouch, admins why don't you just already make him a admin?

[-Elusive-]

Yes it's glaringly obvious that the hacking tab has been neglected greatly. Pretty ridiculous for a forum called "HackForums"
These issues should probably be fixed or else maybe consider a name change.

They should really change the name, 'Hack' is too misleading and you just get people coming here asking ridiculous questions. It's not 'hacking' it's people using RAT's and booters. It is basically a general forum and should be named accordingly.

[Quality_k1nG]

I agree with Pony. Its not a proper way of managing the things .

[REKTED BY LOLI GODS]

You should make a suggestion about this for changes.

[REKTED BY LOLI GODS]

There are a lot of different improvements that may need to be brought up that we don't know of, so what the point of the thread is to bring to light the things that should be fixed. Suggest as you go sort of thread.

Hey doesn't hurt to try and who knows? It might be fixed if they accept it.

[Hash G.]

Vouch, admins why don't you just already make him a admin?

Tbh I think he should moderate the hacking section.
Great suggestions.

[grady]

The only reason I'd be against Pony not moderating the Hacking sections is that he vac-bans himself consistently.
Great suggestions though.

[Huskar]

I really love how you want to improve the forum's core subjects (or at least were)

I really hope all those things get "fixed" somehow

I agree with every point that Pony has made..The entire hacking section has clearly been abandoned by administration (for whatever reason). If there's not enough manpower to ensure that all parts of this forum stay HQ then maybe they should appoint more mods or mentors or whatever. It's not like Omni pays his staff so it's no sweat off his nuts

It's pretty sad. I don't blame Pony for taking 6 month vacation bans. There's only a few interesting people in the entire hacking section and that's the only reason most people keep coming back to it.

Actually, staff and admins are payed since like 3 years now.

[xSonoro]

Completely agree on everything except point 4.
Hacking tools turned into some kind of marketing section so no point to merge it with the section you mentioned.
