How I joined:
I originally joined HF after being ratted in early 2016. For the first month or two after I joined I never even left the greifing section. I ended up going inactive for up until November of 2016 when I finally came back to the site in look of a forum/section for Counter Strike. While I don't think this is an uncommon sequence to ease into HF with, I thought I would include it.
My favorite parts of HF
HF is a great forum no matter what section/group you go to. I really love the fact that there is something here for everyone no matter what you are interested in. When I first joined I had little to no knowlage of computers or marketing and I have been able to learn quite a bit in both fields all the while meeting some nice people and having some fun. No matter what you are intersted in HF has something to offer for it(As long as it is legal of course)
What I have learned:
As I said, I started with little to no knowlage or skill in computers and marketing. From the time I have joined HF I have started to learn coding languages, learning how marketing works and all of the basics of marketing, and even coded things with the things I learned from the different sections. HF is an amazing place to learn no matter your interests. If you can find people with similar interests then it makes learning more a hell of a lot more interesting and fun
Making Money
While im not one of those people who sell tons of guides and profit insanely, I do/have sold some products and can say that HF is a wonder marketplace as well as the other forums it offers. I havent made by any means a bankroll, but have made some nice extra money for investments and such. Wonderful platform.
Conclusion:
I have been a member of several other sites, but I never liked any of them or stuck around. HF is the first website that means something to me and that I actually enjoy. The staff are reasonable and rules are enforced. Groups are always a great way to meet people. The market is a really good place to buy and sell(obviously). Coding and Hacking Sections are really interesting and packed with learning potential. Gaming is always interesting and filled with good thoughts and discussion. I would like to personally thank the HF staff and users for making the site one of the only good forums on the internet. Yall are the best and I hope that HF stays that way :)Conclusion:
