i guess its my turn now...
well, ive been here for ages, but i think its time for me to leave. i dont think i have any more to learn from this community, and with the uprising of skiddies and general inactiveness of the community i dont think i have anything left to teach either.
well, goodbye HBH, and extra speshul byes to: system_meltdown(for being generally awesome, and teaching me to insult :D) spyware(i know i was uber paranoid about you lol, but youre cool with me) root_op(had an awesome time at con ;)) [added] jaggedlancer(for being funky)
and anyone i forgot to mention, not really thinking straight at the mo :)
and a big fuck you to: all flamers
well, byebyes, ill still be hanging about at dmz and msn, so speak to you some of you later :)
As i see more and more people leave HBH for different reasons i'm starting to think that maybe HBH needs to update a little more, i can't really see why leaving HBH would change anything, why not just not be so active on HBH but still… be active, i'm actually starting to lose my passion for HBH aswell (althou it will never completly disappear ;)) so im around here like once and a while when i don't have anything else to do, why not do that instead of just leaving? :(
But still, if that makes you happy then i suggest you'll do it, good luck with everything further more, i'll miss ur good ol' insults/flaming and arguments arund here :P
Haha xD Yeah it was good fun :P, miss that day, and i feel shitty about i couldn't show up the other day, to bad you had to leave before everything was done :( Maybe i'll see you next year aswell :P
Meanwhile, peace! ^___^v

totally, the 'challenge site' market is becoming commoditized and saturated with newcomers to the scene. There are now sites with better challenges than HBH has (sorry, but it's the truth), and there are sites with better articles than HBH.
HBH really needs to rethink its strategy. Start a new advertising campaign, change the default theme, maybe try and start some inter/community projects or something.
Just do something, anything, the way things are going right now, HBH is going to be dead as a dodo pretty soon…

I didn't say it was about the challenges (sorry if that is how my argument sounded). What I was saying is that HBH is mainly marketing itself as a challenge site. Half their nav panel is taken up by links to challenges. Most of their forum is just about challenges.
HBH has a pretty good userbase now, the challenges worked well in attracting people of all skill levels to the site, and now HBH can try to mature and move away from the challenges and focus on projects, good articles, and a good community/forum.
Well, to admit it i'm like Mr_Noob in that case, when i first started of here on HBH as Frag_Wurm iw as carzy about points, "screw the forum go for the points, that way people see how leet im actually isn't" The challenges messes up the image members gets from other members, why not just prove their knowledge in the forums instead :P Also, i was a quiter once,althou i had my old account removed, but i jsut couldn'tresist, HBH was like apart of my life then x)
Laterz on bruddah! Still chat to ya on MSN and shiz so it's all good, gotta meet up again man, was pretty sweet seein' ya at the con, but like coz you got there late and shit, and then had to go fairly early, it was kinda gay, so yea, meet up wit' me when you can bro. You're always welcome to come stay at mine for a few days as long as it's cool with your parents :)
It's sad that the good people of this site leave. HBH should be rethink to be different than other ""hacking"" website. If we are getting massive amount of kiddy, it's mainly because how HBH is done. Just look at the Junk Bank (Code Bank), how do you expect to make good people stay here ? Again HBH should be rethink.
