It's no secret that many of us get PMs asking to assist in or join a hacking group. Lately though, I have gotten a lot more of these SPAM PMs asking me to join in haxoring, etc.

I know I speak for others when I say the following:

DON'T ASK AO MEMBERS TO JOIN YOUR HACKING GROUP. No one here will, so stop wasting everyone's time.

Here is why I wont join:
=================================================================
1) By asking me to "join" you in hacking, what you're really saying is show me how because I can't understand it or I'm too lazy to learn on my own.

2) By using the term "hacking" to describe what we do suggests that you are a lamer who identifies with mainstream media definitions. The proper term is attacker but that's another topic. Bottom line is that when you say this, you immediately alert me that you are limited mental capacity.

3) I know precisely what I'm doing. What possible benefit could come from joining your group?

4) AO isn't about hacking other sites or hotmail, etc.. Please read the home page when joining. I clearly states that this is a *security site*.
