| History = On March 30th, 2017, group owner [[Raptor.]] decided to rebrand the former gaming group [[Fusion]], into a group that better served its name, along with a userbar that fit its theme. Upon launch, Skill’s main outlook was to maintain a gaming aspect that brought people together that would engage the users both on and off-site. The was performed through a series of division-like categories that were introduced or highlighted. The group mentioned its realm of gaming consoles that were welcome to the group. Those of which being Atari, Nintendo, the PlayStation and XBOX console series, PC, mobile, and handheld devices such as the PSP.

As [[Raptor.]] still maintained ownership of Skill, his sole commander Package remains leader. [[Raptor.]] chose Starstruck as he had previously been in contact with [[Raptor.]], expressing his deepest concern and sincerity for the relaunch of Skill, but has since then been removed. Seeing as he was a diehard fan of gaming group, and Skill’s previous iteration in specific, this is when [[Raptor.]] decided to present the newfound group and their mission to the community of Hack Forums. Due to personal connection, gaming and group experience, time available, and the realization that an additional leader was needed in order to provide Skill with the success they had destined, Package was chosen to lead alongside his partner.

During Skill’s prime (mid-2017), several giveaways and gaming events were hosted by members of the group in better efforts to enhance the overall image the [[Raptor.]] and leaders were striving for. Though as the group’s activity has slowly declined, the push for such interest has been put to a temporary halt. The group overall still fights for an image of success and gaming, despite the altered outlook from lack of participation. With this being said, group leaders started a cleansing process of the group which took place on the 12th of October 2017, kicking all inactive participants and keeping only active members around. After the first phase of removal, the total member count dropped from 121, ending at 64 members, per the Hack Forums News.

As of now, Skill's current goal is to increase activity of the group. Not just within the subforum, but as a whole. Their long-term goal is to return the group to its original state; how it started, with members frequently playing either through the official Skill Discord or via other means.

| PreviousIteration = Harmony
| NextIteration =
| Introduction = Aurora is a group mainly focused on giving back to the community and those who have made a positive impact in [[Hack Forums]]' time of establishment. This will be done by a series of group contests, giveaways, and opportunities to win additional prizes through varying methods.

| History = On September 26, 2017, Lexsern, a registered member since 2008, purchased the group, formerly known as [[Harmony]] from [[‘Fox]]. Considering that the group was not purchased in full, the two agreed on a common middle-ground and decided to settle for payment plans. To initiate the deal, now group owner, Lexsern, transferred a down payment of 0.14 BTC ($1,000 USD) to the Bitcoin wallet of [[‘Fox]].
The preceding payments are as follows:

[[Image:Aurora (payments).png|left|Aurora's Group Payments]]

Lexsern’s plan for the group involves utilizing both current subforums, but in a more overseen view, there will be three main points of interest. Aurora’s first division will be a Nordic section for users from the countries of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. The aforementioned division will allow local language, something uncommonly seen and very prohibited on [[Hack Forums]] as it is an English-only speaking community. Being the first of its kind, proper approval had been sought out by Lexsern who has accordingly gained authorization to execute the idea. Until further notice, additional divisions are still undecided as they are currently being occupied by ‘’Faces’’ and ‘’Fidelity’’; two subgroups that were rented out during [[‘Fox]]’s reign of [[Harmony]]. Once Lexsern obtains leadership, both subgroups, along with Juicy- will be removed and other focuses will be introduced.

The Nordic sections will primarily focus on offering benefits to users in the countries mentioned prior. Lexsern said he will personally be providing these benefits himself, stating that due to the high demand and challenge that members from these areas face when trying to obtain deals available to solely Nordic countries, he will oversee the provision.

As of now, Lexsern’s group powers are only so extensive until June 2018, when the final payment will be provided; he intends to choose leaders by in-which country they reside. One leader from either Denmark, Sweden, or Finland to moderate users speaking the local language. Lexsern intends to moderate Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish languages, but will also have an additional local leader to lighten his load up, as the users that are speaking languages other than English must be moderated just as much as English-speaking users, in order to ensure that they are following both the rules of [[Hack Forums]] and group rules for their designated language. Varying leaders will also be chosen when Aurora’s additional focuses/divisions will be announced.

After ownership is transferred to Lexsern, a heavy interest in providing large giveaways for not only the members of his group, but the entirety of Hack Forums’ public community as well will be initiated. The group will have one large Bitcoin wallet, mentored by Lexsern, which will be used for said giveaways. Access to Aurora will strictly be invite and recruitment only entry, as there is no intent to accumulate capital. Once ‘’Faces’’ and ‘’Fidelity’’ are defunct, members of said subgroups will be removed, along with the removal of the two sections, permanently halting entry.

| CurrentStatus = Aurora is currently active and being operated by Lexsern and additional leaders.

| History = After [[Tibit]]’s account closure, [[Omniscient]] took control of [[Phoenix]] and listed it for auction. This is where [[‘Fox]]’s presence was made fully aware. Coming in by the storm, [[‘Fox]] purchased [[Phoenix]] for 31.5 BTC, which was then equivalent to $6835.

Debug, easily recognizable by the notorious group name, was a group based on coding and the furthering advancement of one’s ability to do so. On February 26, 2015, [[‘Fox]] founded the group in efforts to bring awareness and assistance to the heavily conversed topic of coding. At the time, Debug’s goals were very apparent. Group owner, [[‘Fox]], along with the original leaders, [[‘Snorlax]], [[AnonNinja™]], and [[Roger Waters]] created an [https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5719884 informational thread] stating that their true goal is to teach members of the [[Hack Forums]] community how to code in several languages. This was mainly fueled by the reasoning of assistance, stating that being knowledgeable in more than one language could prove to be beneficial regarding careers as a software developer.

Debug outshined many user groups in this era, by its surplus of coding tutorials provided by the hardworking members. Not only were there many tutorials released in the team’s name, but along with this came a wave of recruitment threads being provided to anyone interested. The courses highlighted on topics such as coding, AutoIT, .NET Framework, C++, PHP, Java, Javascript, Python, Delphi, White Hat Malware, HTML & CSS, Networking, and many, many others. After applying, being accepted, and paying the steep $150 entry fee, students would be assigned a list of teachers. Students would be provided instructors based on the information listed on their application. Strict rules were also a breaking point for some members. Stating that you will be kicked if you were to skip class, waste time, or not provide full effort towards a course; no refunds would be given out.

After [[‘Fox]]’s reign and ownership of the group, he decided to hand it off to his fellow leader, [[Nex+]], for undisclosed reasons. Though [[Nex+]]’s intentions were not as clear nor genuine concerning forwarding the group in the same way [[‘Fox]] did, he kept the group as is nonetheless.

| History = The Revolution, also commonly shortened to Revolution, was a group mainly led by Fox™, [[ibennz]], Orchid, Dorrance, and Vape. The Revolution was strictly devoted to keeping themselves united through hard work and dedication. The Revolution’s primary focus was to maintain a significant level of unification through community assistance and friendship. An underlying outlook of Revolution was to essentially ‘teach wealth’ available through a form of payment. The group’s entirety was made possible for anyone with pocket change, which in turn profoundly affected group prices. The group offered multiple help desks providing aid where group members specialized in, those of which have been deleted.

Any member who paid a sufficient amount was able to create their designated division, along with two or three co-leaders who were required to fulfill their quota additionally. The leaders of said divisions were unable to remove other leaders or co-leaders, though could request expulsion to group owner, [[beslim]].

The divisions within The Revolution, before closing were as follows:
*General
*Marketing
**Student Marketing

Though as they got looked upon as a lounge group, they certainly proved that this was not the group’s only intent. Numerous events got hosted in the name of [[Titans II]] in efforts to rejuvenate the order and level of activity amongst the community. They brought numerous games and un-seen ideas to Hack Forums. One main event that grasped the attention of users was the Titans x Synergy Gaming Tournament. To commemorate the return of [[Titans II]], [[Realizm]] and [[Cryptic™]] opted to host this occasion. The tournament took place on Call of Duty: Black Ops III. There were two tournaments, one exclusively for PlayStation 4 users, along with an opportunity for Xbox One players. If winning the forum-wide competition did not serve prestigious enough itself, $100 got awarded to each console winner.

[[Titans II]] was short-lived, but while it was here, the presentation got made.

The team was auctioned off and sold to [[Cameron]], where it now stands as the group [[Torque]].

The recruitment had a small 2-day length, and while there was a total of 15 applicants, less than 30% of candidates got accepted into the tight-knit group.

On September 19th, 2017, [[Nex+]] provided the [[Hack Forums]]’ community with an additional opportunity to join [[Limitless]], this time being strictly for pen-testing, cracking, and rooting. [[Nex+]] additionally changed the freeform opportunity to join the group, into a buy-in the only restriction. In hopes to oversteer the users of the steep buy-in price listed at USD 75, the thread highlights numerous features, such as premium tutorials, giveaways and prizes, and paid products that got provided with the user’s buy-in.

| Introduction = Terror was a group that had no boundaries in their reign of success and escalation. The team welcomed members of the gaming, marketing, programming, and general lounging community to become one and excel correspondingly, alongside one another. Users accepted into Terror were regarded as some of the most highly skilled members in their respective field. The primary goal of Terror was to be prosperous and fruitful they became. They never limited themselves to anything, rather they strived to outshine the lesser.
| History = Rebranded from Valor on December 6th, 2012, Terror had a valiant run. Not too long after, BV1 assigned equal leadership roles to [[Orgy]], [[bugga]], [[Baked]], and [[Froggy]], who all played a significant role in the group’s triumph. Leadership got linked through the friendship the five users possessed. BV1 noticed common traits amongst the leaders, such as maturity, reliability, and trustworthiness. BV1 maintained full ownership, but despite this, his primary role was in the shadows, providing full trust and confidence within his group’s leaders. BV1’s main interest was to see the team’s success by smoothly paved with the suggestions and ideas of the group leaders; he provided input every now and again but believed they were going to be the masterminds behind the group’s conquest. There was one notable pothole on the road to success, however. While BV1 was on a leave of absence, he assigned interim team ownership to Existence and nearly one month later booted him indefinitely, due to stealing money and lying about his age.

There were no official divisions within the group despite being listed in the original recruitment thread. The categories listed were a rough outline of the group’s main points of interest and what the group was primarily focused around, but nothing got set in stone behind the lines.

The divisions are defined as follows:
*Graphics and Development
**Programming & Scripting
**Graphic Design
**Web Development

*Gaming
**Xbox Gaming
**PS3 Gaming
**PC Gaming
**Gaming Discussion
**Competing

*Hacking and Computing
**Server Administration
**Exploitation
**Hardware
**Malware Removal
**Malicious Purposes

*Monetizing and Marketing
**CPA/PPD/Ad Networks
**ECommerce
**Hack Forums Marketplace
**Auction Sales
**Product Sales

With the numerous divisions, sections, and points of interest within Terror came a surplus of resources being provided to the users of Hack Forums. The only ‘official’ project hosted by Terror was TerrorPVP, which was a large Minecraft server. Upon [[Omniscient]]’s release of HackerCraft, they both ran simultaneously, until [[Omniscient]] put additional efforts into the revival of HackerCraft, which then resulted in the migration of TerrorPVP’s userbase onto the opposing. Along with this achievement, were also numerous help desks, various upgrade giveaways, and dozens of tutorials that were hosted by the members of Terror, in the group’s name.

In early-to-mid 2013, BV1 decided to sell the group to [[Lani]], closing the doors of Terror for good. BV1’s reign of Hack Forums was coming to a near end at this time and decided to liquidate all assets associated with Hack Forums, which in turn, lead to the formation of [[Black Diamond]].

| CurrentStatus = This group was sold to [[Lani]] and rebranded to [[Black Diamond]].
