The number of blackhats hasn't really changed... The few that are here that actually know their **** are also smart enough not to go around talking **** about being uber-leet haxorz and **** like that... (and yes, there are a few members here that have made quite an impression on the underground hacker scene) As for script kiddies... that number has increased. Not only gone up, but now they are making more posts and becoming "senior members" and "addicts" The total traffic has remained about the same bacause a lot of the older members have left, and they are being replaced by crops of script kiddiez. My post count has gone from 15 a day to about 1 every 3 to 5 days. So if the average person posts 5 times in a day (just an estimate) that means that it took about 3 people to replace the traffic that I was causing.

As for documentation, I can believe there isn't a lot. This site has been modified quite a bit from the original state. But grab 2 or 3 people that know php/mySQL, and you can figure out anything you want to do. Its really not that hard to go through a few files and firgure out what the final result is. Especially considering it is based on a well documented system. Just go through and look for the changes. (anyone remember the diff command?)

As for the DOS attacks mentioned by rcgreen.. are you talking about the IRC server? I will admit that the site did go down a few times from that, but it wasn't really that much. And you make a good point... if JP's "old school enemies" have to rely on useing a DOS attack, it really makes you wonder if they know what they are doing.

lumpyporridge> where the hell do you get your information? Was that a recruiting tool for some aliance.... "Hey look we hacked intmon's account, join us and we will help you, otherwise we will hack you and ban you" and in case your wondering why I bring up aliances again... oh wait from what I have heard, they are now called "groups" sorry.

albn> omg really, someone banned jupman...no one ever told me

now, in their defence... if the list that was "found" by a couple members a while back really was what it appeard to be, then that would explain a good portion of it. And there were rummors about traffic generators and other various things to showo highter stats. Now I am NOT trying to say that any of that is true. I have never seen any proof of it at all.

Oh yeah.. and one other thing. . WHAT THE HELL ARE SO MANY PEOPLE ASSIGNING ANTIPOINTS IN THIS THREAD FOR?????? This has to be the biggest waste of "greenies" I have ever seen. Common people... you wonder why the AP system is such crap??? Its because you waste your time assigning postive ap's to BS posts in threads like this, but don't do a damn thing for the people that are actually making posts to help other users.
