I have been away from this site for about three weeks now. In that time, a lot of changes have come around. The general attitude of this site is much poorer, and I see virtually no information.

I used to be a regular poster, but for sometime I've noticed that the quality of AO has been going down. So I'm not going to post anymore. I may visit once in awhile, but that's about it.

Lately, I've been focusing on my own studies. I've left high school two years early in order to attend college, as a CSE major. I'm still sixteen, to those of you who've kept track. (Thanks Mom..)

I hope people here start improving their attitudes and the quality of their posts. Don't disparage everything. Just because someone has done some stupid things is no need to attack them. Writing a book about how to decieve people, and therefore prevent it, is no reason to attack them. Whatever his past faults are, they lie in the past. Leave them there.

As for the fact that many people have hacked his servers...his famous. Everyone wants to think that they're better than him. So out of every one thousand script kiddies trying to use the latest buffer overflow attacks and such, one gets lucky every two days. No reason to go against Mitnick.

But I regress, that's not the only thing. The site itself has almost no information now. Its become a social gathering, where people hold themselves up to be higher than anyone else, but taking away from others. I'm sick of that.

I'm off to find real knowledge. See you guys sometime later, may-be.
