This isn't a site suggestion or a bug. He spends his time in there, because that is where the problems show up. Any bugs, he tries to fix, and suggestions, he considers. If worth while, he trys to implement them. Those are the most important parts of his job. He does view the other threads when he gets a chance, and maybe he will get a chance to reply to this, maybe we will just have to wait and see what happens. Either way, eventually we will know. If you are that worried about knowing right away, go to the irc channel services.antionline.com (or irc.antionline.com if you have something like mIRC or xChat). He is always in there. If he is inactive, give him a little time. He always shows up eventually.

I personally don't mind the wait, it was merely a thought to those that might see a real immediate need for it.
unfortunately, I won't be able to get on IRC for another month or two.

Hey, Ennis, before I put my two cents in on this, how about booting it into the "AntiOnline Wargames" forum? Just a thought.

OK i can no longer resist joining this thread : imagine i have just developed new security software and maybe tracing software how would i go about testing it.
This is exactly how i would do it .
If you think you are paranoid the goverment is 10000 x more paranoid:)

Wouldn't want anybody finding out what US Congress is REALLY up to - /me thinks of NERV and Human Genome Project

Well here are my two cents. I really think the paranoia is over rated. If this was just an attempt by the DoD to find out who the hackers of the world are, then why would JP freely advertise that? I for one can say that I will be happy to lend my skills. (whatever those are)
I look forward to the games.

Greetings All:
Yes, souleman is right, I read most threads that come up. I haven't commented about this one yet, because there is not a lot more that I can say at this point.
However, some of the concerns that people raise I think are funny.
For example:
1. This is a black helicopter project, and we're going to be tracking people for a massive DOD Database of haxorz. I hate to tell you all this, but none of you are that important that the DOD, or even I for that matter, would waste time "tracking" you.
2. That some how you'll get in trouble by participating in the wargame. Uhm, we asked some of you to participate, how would you get into trouble? Some people even seemed to imply that I am making up the wargame project to try and get people to hack DOD computers. Hello? BTW: The wargame network will be housed at AntiOnline Headquarters, not at some military base. Calm down people.
3. Some wonder why we're having this "first phase invitation only" and then an open wargame, etc. etc. I have to remind all of you, that this is a scientific study being carried out by a large team of people. We are not a bunch of kiddies setting up 486's on our dsl connections so we can feel uber by running a "wargame". Our goal is to help develop and compile information which can be used by the Department of Defense to protect US Infrastructures against attacks (aka information warfare). As for someone e-mailing some secretary from the SBIR program, and he/she not knowing about this project? There are hundreds of research projects funded by the DOD, I don't think it is weird that he/she didn't know about this one.
4. Why are we asking so much information about you? Personally, I don't think asking what general fields you have worked in, and what operating systems you know, is all that sensitive. Again, this is a scientific study, that has scientific controls. We need to be aware of all variables, and of course, the largest variables exist in those participating in the study.
5. Some people have come to the realization that hey, people from the DOD might already be visiting AntiOnline. Imagine That! AntiOnline is one of the most visited security sites on the internet. We have over 80,000 registered members. Over 1,000 of those registered with .mil e-mail addresses, and nearly as many with .gov Yes, many of the people that post here, and that have very high AntiPoint levels, are from military organizations, or their civilian counterparts. All sectors of our society need to be aware of security issues, and that certainly includes governments. These members are administrators just like many of you are, the only difference, is who their employers are. Hardly anything to get nervous about.
Those that we choose to participate in phase 1 will certainly be given more background information about the study. Eventually, when we open up the wargame network to the public, we will post even more background information on the site, and you will probably be able to interact with other people that are running this project. This is a very unique opportunity, that has been literally years in the making. AntiOnline's "Project Wargame" is the largest project of its kind to date. The wargame network which will be made publicly available will far exceed anything ever offered to the Internet Community.
On a personal note, I am very excited about this project, and about the research that will come from it. I hope that those that have been invited will be excited as well, and will sign up to help.
I also look forward to the day that this project is opened to everyone on the site, and am excited about the learning experiences that will be made available to our users.

Well said JP! Let the games begin.

hmm Why are some ppl so paranoid?? Anyway I feel better about being able to get a place in the trials :) I didnt realise it was so much todo with science :) Maybe I will get to play even though i have very low skills in the areas asked about :) Cant wait

Eh...I got PM'ed !!!!11!1!!!!!
</bragging>
Jesus...12 hours a week? And when is this?! I mean...I'm partying for the next two days straight, going to three different concerts (ex. HFS BABY!!!!) in next month alone!!!...PLUS I'm doing school work...
