&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{MemberBox&lt;br /&gt;
| Username    = Viral Dragon&lt;br /&gt;
| UserID      = 23809&lt;br /&gt;
| JoinDate    = 09-30-2008&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Although Viral Dragon joined September 30, 2008, he lurked in the background of the forum for about a year prior, closer to when Hack Forums first opened. He felt compelled to officially register after he saw a topic in which a user was getting what he felt was bad advice. Since then, he has kept a constant presence on the forum, with his main goal always about educating other users in various fields of hacking and computer-related topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon has been a member several groups, as well as leader of some. His past leadership positions have included the groups Reverence, Eminence, Wifi Gang (for a short period of time after Eminence changed its name), Root, Coders and Reviewers. His leadership has been notably strict, not letting members go inactive or sit in a group without giving some form of contribution. He went inactive and was removed as leader before Root was disbanded and the leaders were banned. He was also working to revamp the Reviewers group as it was closed by Omniscient. He passed leadership of the Wiki division of the Writ3rs group to [[Ethereal]] in December 2014. On September 9, 2013, Viral Dragon was made a Mentor, and in August 2014, he was made a member of the Hack Forums Staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s personal life does cross into the forum on occasion. In December of 2012, he fell ill to the point of needing hospitalization. This interfered with several of his leadership positions, including the Writ3rs, whose Wiki team saw a temporary change in leadership while he was away. Although he went inactive in posting, he says he &amp;quot;kept tabs&amp;quot; on what was happening around the forum. In December of 2013, a mass of tissue was found on his brain, following seizures that would happen at random, every four months or so. His health following the discovery of what was eventually a benign brain tumor has taken a toll on his leadership activity on Hack Forums, although he kept his activity as staff constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2013, rumors were spread over Tiny Chat and other venues that Viral Dragon was an undercover FBI agent, a title that is not looked upon with favor among the general Hack Forums community. This led to numerous members asking Viral Dragon for confirmation. His answer has always been the same: he doesn&#039;t work for them in any way, shape or form. Omniscient has also stated that the rumors are of no importance to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s wife [[iceybunneh]] is also a member of Hack Forums and they have been seen posting together in the Innuendo section.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{MemberBox&lt;br /&gt;
| Username    = Viral Dragon&lt;br /&gt;
| UserID      = 23809&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Although Viral Dragon joined September 30, 2008, he lurked in the background of the forum for about a year prior, closer to when Hack Forums first opened. He felt compelled to officially register after he saw a topic in which a user was getting what he felt was bad advice. Since then, he has kept a constant presence on the forum, with his main goal always about educating other users in various fields of hacking and computer-related topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon has been a member several groups, as well as leader of some. His past leadership positions have included the groups Reverence, Eminence, Wifi Gang (for a short period of time after Eminence changed its name), Root, Coders and Reviewers. His leadership has been notably strict, not letting members go inactive or sit in a group without giving some form of contribution. He went inactive and was removed as leader before Root was disbanded and the leaders were banned. He was also working to revamp the Reviewers group as it was closed by Omniscient. He passed leadership of the Wiki division of the Writ3rs group to [[Ethereal]] in December 2014. On September 9, 2013, Viral Dragon was made a Mentor, and in August 2014, he was made a member of the Hack Forums Staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s personal life does cross into the forum on occasion. In December of 2012, he fell ill to the point of needing hospitalization. This interfered with several of his leadership positions, including the Writ3rs, whose Wiki team saw a temporary change in leadership while he was away. Although he went inactive in posting, he says he &amp;quot;kept tabs&amp;quot; on what was happening around the forum. In December of 2013, a mass of tissue was found on his brain, following seizures that would happen at random, every four months or so. His health following the discovery of what was eventually a benign brain tumor has taken a toll on his leadership activity on Hack Forums, although he kept his activity as staff constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2013, rumors were spread over Tiny Chat and other venues that Viral Dragon was an undercover FBI agent, a title that is not looked upon with favor among the general Hack Forums community. This led to numerous members asking Viral Dragon for confirmation. His answer has always been the same: he doesn&#039;t work for them in any way, shape or form. Omniscient has also stated that the rumors are of no importance to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s wife [[iceybunneh]] is also a member of Hack Forums and they have been seen posting together in the Innuendo section.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;This is about the weekly news publication about Hack Forums. For the subforum in which editions are posted, see [[HF News (Forum)]].&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Update|Add more details, images, information about past and present leaders}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the HF News forum for weekly news editions. Check back here to find out about what&#039;s happening on Hack Forums every week. Thanks to Yin who founded this section and the HFNT, Writers who release the editions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Positions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Editors===&lt;br /&gt;
Editors are responsible for ensuring that journalists&#039; articles are of exceptional quality by editing, revising, and proofreading them prior to publishing - this includes the checking of bb code for broken links and correcting improper formatting. Compilers are expected to have compiled each post of the HF News every Saturday, leaving Sunday for the Editors to complete their work. To equalize the workload, Editors&#039; will regularly rotate their responsibility through each post of the HF News, as organized and assigned by the Editors&#039; Schedule. (Should you feel the suspicion of plagiarism, you are expected to pursue the doubt, investigate, and inform Sir of your findings should they be conclusive. Plagiarism is unacceptable on any level and is a dismissable offence.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Compilers===&lt;br /&gt;
Compilers are expected to compile their assigned post of the HF News in a timely fashion every Saturday. Which post you are supposed to cover may be determined by viewing the HFNT Members List and checking which specific position you are assigned. (1st = 1st Post, 3rd = 3rd Post, Reserve = Reserve, etc.) Using this information, you must use the proper canned format as located under Canned Post Formats and correctly compile it from the already-posted sections in the News group subforum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Journalists===&lt;br /&gt;
Journalists must transcribe a variety of news into an easily-digestible form for the Hack Forums community every Friday. Your job is to research and write the news for your assigned section (often with a partner) on a weekly basis and without any degree of plagiarism. You are generally given creative control over the topics that you choose to cover, but the length of each article should be at least a paragraph - meaning four or five reasonably sized sentences. Make sure the title covers the entirety of the article&#039;s contents, focuses on the main idea, and is easily read. Also use this website to reference proper capitalization techniques. The number of necessary articles depends upon the section to which you are assigned and can always be found under Section Sizes. Always take the time to revise your article before you post it, our Editors are only there to catch anything that slips through the cracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviewer===&lt;br /&gt;
Interviewers are given autonomy in regards to their interviewee, the questions they ask, and the color-scheme of their interviews (as long as it does not conflict with another interviewer&#039;s color scheme); however, each interview should contain at least 12 questions and be formatted correctly, as canned above in Canned Post Formats. Interviewees can be found in the Interview Applications thread stickied in the HF News section or selectively picked from the entirety of Hack Forums for nearly any reason. It is advised that you do not solely pick friends to interview and that members involved in notable or newsworthy events be given preference for interviews. It is also recommended that you keep a backup interview for emergencies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Graphical Artist===&lt;br /&gt;
Graphical Artists are in charge of an assigned portion of graphics for the HFNT. Typically these include the &amp;quot;GFX Gallery,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Comics,&amp;quot; and thread layouts. Never, fucking ever, use puush for graphics. Imgur only.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
This Wiki has been created and maintained by the HF Wiki Team, a sub-section of the [[Writers]]. The team consists of a group of volunteers who perform tasks in several different roles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Roles==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Leaders&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** The leaders are in place to manage, organize and provide general support and advice to the team. They have absolute authority over all things related to the Wiki. Any issues within the team should be taken to the leaders to be addressed. Finally, they are directly in control of the the Wiki, its location and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Editors&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** The editors are charged with the task of editing, re-writing, proofreading and amending articles created by the writers. They deal directly with the writers and can offer advice on grammar, structure and expansion of articles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Publishers&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** The publishers are assigned the task of structuring and maintaining the Wiki. They will upload and format all articles created by the team to the Wiki. They also manage the Wiki&#039;s structure and ensure all articles are neatly categorized and easily accessible to the forum members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Writers&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** The writers form the backbone of the team. They write the content and articles that forms the Wiki. They work with the editors in order to finalize an article and ensure it is of quality.&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Members==&lt;br /&gt;
With the publicization of the Wiki, the roles are no longer held in strict regard and everyone pitches in with publishing, editing, writing and updating. However, a general idea is provided below.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
2014 was the sixth official [[Hack Forums]] April Fool’s event. This year, like in the 2012 April Fools event, members were shown that they had -10 reputation given by [[Omniscient]] and had been [[RepKill]]ed. In addition to this, they were also prompted with a banner heading stating that their account was compromised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Specifics==&lt;br /&gt;
The header banner of the website told users that there had been suspicious IP activity on their account and their account had been disabled, although they kept posting privileges. To make their account secure, a member was supposed to go to http://www.hackforums.net/accountrecovery.php within 24 hours, stating that there had been a user named &#039;mil cent os&#039; had something to do with it, which was an anagram of Omniscient himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The website banner was also changed to the Cloudflare loading icon, making it seem like there was a DDoS attack or downtime, which was not the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Effects==&lt;br /&gt;
Older members have seen this sort of thing before, without the header banner. Although the banner is only used in cases where the entire forum needs to be announced, it did not fool that many people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omniscient did state that he received roughly four times the amount of private messages than usual, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
2012 was the fourth official [[Hack Forums]] April Fool’s event. This year, all members appeared to be [[Rep Kill|repkilled]] and -10’d by [[Omniscient]] himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Specifics==&lt;br /&gt;
Upon seeing a post that you had made, your reputation appeared to be -10 in red and nothing else. Upon viewing your own reputation, the message displayed was&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You so deserve this. I’m really pissed off right now.Lucky I didn’t ban you. I can’t believe you posted that crap. REASON YOU GOT REP FUCKED.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With the last statement hyperlinking to a Help Document wishing the user a happy April fools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only you saw your own reputation as -10, all other members saw yours as normal, as you saw others as normal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Effects==&lt;br /&gt;
According to Omniscient, he received ‘hundreds of PM’s’ in regards to the prank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event was repeated in 2014 with a slight variation.&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Vinnie joined Hack Forums on December 14th, 2010. He was attracted to the forums because of his passion for computers, booters and server stress testing, DNS, and network security, having come from the Darkode community. He left after his searches proved fruitless, but came back to Hack Forums with his cousin [[Kohsti]] in 2012. The two began assisting other forum members with bots, RATs, and botnets to gain reputation and notoriety on the forum. The member Gold got Vinnie and Kohsti involved in a RAT Help Desk operated by the [[Illuminati]] group, giving them a significant boost to their credibility. He upgraded to [[L33t]] at the same time as Kohsti and Gold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the knowledge learned from RATting other users, Vinnie and Kohsti amassed a great deal of wealth setting up other Hack Forums members&#039; RATs and encrypting their servers for further RAT usage. Vinnie applied for and was accepted to [[Respawn]], his first group on HF, where [[Bugga|bugga]] noticed his skills and invited him to [[Propitious]]. Vinnie became a regular user in [[BELLAGIO]]&#039;s &amp;quot;Parlaying&amp;quot; TinyChat room, where he befriended many other Hack Forums users and gained a notable reputation as a friendly and intelligent member. BELLAGIO subsequently invited him to Illuminati, having been impressed with Vinnie&#039;s intelligence and personality. Similar to their L33t upgrade, Vinnie and Kohsti simultaneously upgraded to [[Ub3r]] and celebrated by giving each other +3 reps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vinnie eventually became a leader of Illuminati after bugga departed from the group. When BELLAGIO expressed his intent to sell the group, Vinnie intervened and purchased the group from him alongside [[Anonymous]]. The two became co-owners of the group, and developed several products that generated a significant amount of revenue for the pair. Seeing his potential, Vinnie partnered with Anonymous to purchase [[Legion]], then known as [[The Corporation]] and owned by [[Tibit]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;BELLAGIO wanted to sell Illuminati, so I ended up asking Anonymous to partner up with me. He was a nobody at the time, but accepted the offer and we went 50/50 on Illuminati. Anon was the owner of the group, and I led the group fully. We had the Illuminati and Legion stresser, giving us $8,000 per week.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Vinnie&#039;s background was in black hat hacking, Legion became a grey hat group as a result of Omniscient&#039;s ban on black hat discussion and activity. This put them at odds with [[Root]], a similarly minded hacking group. There was significant enmity between members of the group, and tensions rose over time. Just over one month after the group was founded, the payment database for member upgrades was compromised and the personal information of thousands of members became public. The information was allegedly compromised with the intent of revealing the details of Legion members in specific. In response, Omniscient deleted the Root group and closed the accounts of [[Castle Bravo]], the group&#039;s owner, [[RyanC]], and [[Starfall]], two leaders of Root.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Vinnie&#039;s friends on Hack Forums was Judge Dredd, then an administrator. Judge Dredd accidentally [[Rep Kill|repkilled]] Vinnie without any apparent reason. In response, Vinnie compromised the accounts of various forum members including Tibit, [[mad]], and bugga. His mind was clouded by his fury but he didn&#039;t care. He leaked personal conversations with Judge Dredd and other notable members, and revealed his hacking of many other accounts outside of those already mentioned. The details of the leaked conversations revealed evidence of apparent malfeasance. Legitimate or not, Judge Dredd resigned from his administrative position on good terms with Omniscient, and was given the [[Complexity]] usergroup. Judge Dredd was retained as a Staff member, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vinnie sold his half of Illuminati back to Anonymous, and purchased [[WiFi Gang]], changing it to [[Legacy]]. The group was paid for by one of Vinnie&#039;s customers, who had paid him and [[Apple J4ck]] over $137 thousand dollars for a series of jobs. Its purpose as a gaming group remained across all its versions, with the exception of [[The Lannisters]], later taking the form of [[Instinct]] and [[Nightfall]]. Vinnie later purchased [[The Alliance]] and changed it to [[Null]], alongside [[T3h Hack3r]] and [[Shanks]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December of 2014, Vinnie was arrested for alleged implications in the LizardSquad hacks across the world and for PayPal fraud. Both of the charges were dropped due to the lack of evidence against him, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the road, Vinnie is leaving Hack Forums because of his previous involvement with Darkode and his drama with [[Understalker]]. Omniscient has kindly asked Vinnie to leave the forum, both for his own safety and the forum&#039;s safety.&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Although Viral Dragon joined September 30, 2008, he lurked in the background of the forum for about a year prior, closer to when Hack Forums first opened. He felt compelled to officially register after he saw a topic in which a user was getting what he felt was bad advice. Since then, he has kept a constant presence on the forum, with his main goal always about educating other users in various fields of hacking and computer-related topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon has been a member several groups, as well as leader of some. His past leadership positions have included the groups Reverence, Eminence, Wifi Gang (for a short period of time after Eminence changed its name), Root, Coders and Reviewers. His leadership has been notably strict, not letting members go inactive or sit in a group without giving some form of contribution. He went inactive and was removed as leader before Root was disbanded and the leaders were banned. He was also working to revamp the Reviewers group as it was closed by Omniscient. He passed leadership of the Wiki division of the Writ3rs group to [[Ethereal]] in December 2014. On September 9, 2013, Viral Dragon was made a Mentor, and in August 2014, he was made a member of the Hack Forums Staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s personal life does cross into the forum on occasion. In December of 2012, he fell ill to the point of needing hospitalization. This interfered with several of his leadership positions, including the Writ3rs, whose Wiki team saw a temporary change in leadership while he was away. Although he went inactive in posting, he says he &amp;quot;kept tabs&amp;quot; on what was happening around the forum. In December of 2013, a mass of tissue was found on his brain, following seizures that would happen at random, every four months or so. His health following the discovery of what was eventually a benign brain tumor has taken a toll on his leadership activity on Hack Forums, although he kept his activity as staff constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2013, rumors were spread over Tiny Chat and other venues that Viral Dragon was an undercover FBI agent, a title that is not looked upon with favor among the general Hack Forums community. This led to numerous members asking Viral Dragon for confirmation. His answer has always been the same: he doesn&#039;t work for them in any way, shape or form. Omniscient has also stated that the rumors are of no importance to him.&lt;br /&gt;

Viral Dragon&#039;s wife [[iceybunneh]] is also a member of Hack Forums and they have been seen posting together in the Innuendo section.&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Judge Dredd first joined [[Hack Forums]] on January 6, 2008. He was one of the administrators of Hack Forums. His main area of management was the reputation system. Judge Dredd has been widely criticized for his work at times, by members who have suffered from the infamous &amp;quot;rep fuck&amp;quot;, although he has also been highly accredited for his constant effort around the forums and his ability to deal with the numerous instances of abuse reported by members. Judge Dredd has been an administrator of the forum for well over two years, and has been most active in the Reputation Abuse Support section, where members appeal against reputation which they have been given for reasons against Hack Forums policy. Along with the said section, Judge Dredd has been active in The Lounge, Staff Discussion, and Rules and Announcements, News and Feedback sections with 525, 193 and 156 posts respectively. He has averaged 5.81 posts per day over his years of presence on Hack Forums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Judge Dredd was later demoted from Admin due to personal reasons. He was the owner of the group [[Complexity]]. This is rare to see because Omniscient doesn&#039;t sell groups anymore and you must buy them from a group leader. Omniscient believed Judge Dredd had done a great job the past years as admin and has granted him this opportunity to lead and own his own group. A thread by Omniscient was made explaining the whole thing on May 10th, 2013. You can view the thread [http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3470360 here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actively posting on the forum for the past 4 years, administrating both the forum and the reputation system as an administrator and helping [[Omniscient]], as well as spending countless hours on Hack Forums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 19, 2015, Judge Dredd was demoted from his Staff position after several months of inactivty and was made a Mentor once again.&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Judge Dredd first joined [[Hack Forums]] on January 6, 2008. He was one of the administrators of Hack Forums. His main area of management was the reputation system. Judge Dredd has been widely criticized for his work at times, by members who have suffered from the infamous &amp;quot;rep fuck&amp;quot;, although he has also been highly accredited for his constant effort around the forums and his ability to deal with the numerous instances of abuse reported by members. Judge Dredd has been an administrator of the forum for well over two years, and has been most active in the Reputation Abuse Support section, where members appeal against reputation which they have been given for reasons against Hack Forums policy. Along with the said section, Judge Dredd has been active in The Lounge, Staff Discussion, and Rules and Announcements, News and Feedback sections with 525, 193 and 156 posts respectively. He has averaged 5.81 posts per day over his years of presence on Hack Forums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Judge Dredd was later demoted from Admin due to personal reasons. He was the owner of the group [[Complexity]]. This is rare to see because Omniscient doesn&#039;t sell groups anymore and you must buy them from a group leader. Omniscient believed Judge Dredd had done a great job the past years as admin and has granted him this opportunity to lead and own his own group. A thread by Omniscient was made explaining the whole thing on May 10th, 2013. You can view the thread [http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3470360 here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actively posting on the forum for the past 4 years, administrating both the forum and the reputation system as an administrator and helping [[Omniscient]], as well as spending countless hours on Hack Forums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 19, 2015, Judge Dredd was demoted from his Staff position after several months of inactivty and was made a Mentor once again.&lt;br /&gt;

The Wiki is constantly being updated, checked, and scrutinized to make sure that members have the most accurate information on a particular topic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is currently maintained by the [[Wiki Team]].&lt;br /&gt;

| Biography   = Although Viral Dragon joined September 30, 2008, he lurked in the background of the forum for about a year prior, closer to when Hack Forums first opened. He felt compelled to officially register after he saw a topic in which a user was getting what he felt was bad advice. Since then, he has kept a constant presence on the forum, with his main goal always about educating other users in various fields of hacking and computer-related topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon has been a member several groups, as well as leader of some. His past leadership positions have included the groups Reverence, Eminence, Wifi Gang (for a short period of time after Eminence changed its name), Root, Coders and Reviewers. His leadership has been notably strict, not letting members go inactive or sit in a group without giving some form of contribution. He went inactive and was removed as leader before Root was disbanded and the leaders were banned. He was also working to revamp the Reviewers group as it was closed by Omniscient. He passed leadership of the Wiki division of the Writ3rs group to [[Ethereal]] in December 2014. On September 9, 2013, Viral Dragon was made a Mentor, and in August 2014, he was made a member of the Hack Forums Staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s personal life does cross into the forum on occasion. In December of 2012, he fell ill to the point of needing hospitalization. This interfered with several of his leadership positions, including the Writ3rs, whose Wiki team saw a temporary change in leadership while he was away. Although he went inactive in posting, he says he &amp;quot;kept tabs&amp;quot; on what was happening around the forum. In December of 2013, a mass of tissue was found on his brain, following seizures that would happen at random, every four months or so. His health following the discovery of what was eventually a benign brain tumor has taken a toll on his leadership activity on Hack Forums, although he kept his activity as staff constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2013, rumors were spread over Tiny Chat and other venues that Viral Dragon was an undercover FBI agent, a title that is not looked upon with favor among the general Hack Forums community. This led to numerous members asking Viral Dragon for confirmation. His answer has always been the same: he doesn&#039;t work for them in any way, shape or form. Omniscient has also stated that the rumors are of no importance to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s wife [[iceybunneh]] is also a member of Hack Forums and they have been seen posting together in the Innuendo section.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{MemberBox&lt;br /&gt;
| Username    = Viral Dragon&lt;br /&gt;
| UserID      = 23809&lt;br /&gt;
| JoinDate    = 09-30-2008&lt;br /&gt;

| IsWriter    = True&lt;br /&gt;
| Biography   = Although Viral Dragon joined September 30, 2008, he lurked in the background of the forum for about a year prior, closer to when Hack Forums first opened. He felt compelled to officially register after he saw a topic in which a user was getting what he felt was bad advice. Since then, he has kept a constant presence on the forum, with his main goal always about educating other users in various fields of hacking and computer-related topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon has been a member several groups, as well as leader of some. His past leadership positions have included the groups Reverence, Eminence, Wifi Gang (for a short period of time after Eminence changed its name), Root, Coders and Reviewers. His leadership has been notably strict, not letting members go inactive or sit in a group without giving some form of contribution. He went inactive and was removed as leader before Root was disbanded and the leaders were banned. He was also working to revamp the Reviewers group as it was closed by Omniscient. He passed leadership of the Wiki division of the Writ3rs group to [[Ethereal]] in December 2014. On September 9, 2013, Viral Dragon was made a Mentor, and in August 2014, he was made a member of the Hack Forums Staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s personal life does cross into the forum on occasion. In December of 2012, he fell ill to the point of needing hospitalization. This interfered with several of his leadership positions, including the Writ3rs, whose Wiki team saw a temporary change in leadership while he was away. Although he went inactive in posting, he says he &amp;quot;kept tabs&amp;quot; on what was happening around the forum. In December of 2013, a mass of tissue was found on his brain, following seizures that would happen at random, every four months or so. His health following the discovery of what was eventually a benign brain tumor has taken a toll on his leadership activity on Hack Forums, although he kept his activity as staff constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2013, rumors were spread over Tiny Chat and other venues that Viral Dragon was an undercover FBI agent, a title that is not looked upon with favor among the general Hack Forums community. This led to numerous members asking Viral Dragon for confirmation. His answer has always been the same: he doesn&#039;t work for them in any way, shape or form. Omniscient has also stated that the rumors are of no importance to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Viral Dragon&#039;s wife [[iceybunneh]] is also a member of Hack Forums and they have been seen posting together in the Innuendo section.&lt;br /&gt;

==Group History==&lt;br /&gt;
Originally the group was known as the HJT Team, or the HijackThis Team, but it has since been slightly modified and named the Malware Removal Team, or MRT. HijackThis was formed by Valiant on June 17th, 2010, while the name change to the Malware Removal Team came about in December of 2012. In August of 2013, the Malware Removal Team team decided to split into two separate groups: one group for graduates and the other for students. They are currently the only group on Hack Forums to have a section that all members of Hack Forums can view. In this section, users who believe their computer may be infected with a virus are able to follow a set list of instructions, then are able to make a thread that will help disinfect their machine (after following instructions from a graduate).&lt;br /&gt;
Upon being a graduate of the course, the members are given a special award- the [[MRT Graduate]] and can officially help members with their issues in the appropriate section.&lt;br /&gt;
==Goal or Manifesto==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The Malware Removal Team of Hack Forums is here to help you remove malware, viruses, RATs and any other malicious software you may have on your computer.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recruitment==&lt;br /&gt;
The group has held recruitment in the past, but they do so usually just once a year. There are no set requirements, but it is extremely important that recruits be hardworking and dedicated to learning as the course is difficult to pass.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;HF XMPP&#039;&#039;&#039; is Hack Forums&#039; official instant messaging service. This project was announced on May 13, 2013 before being put on hold until Tuesday, October 28th, 2014, where it was announced that [[Omniscient]] was considering bringing the project back up again. It was released as a Beta for [[Mentor | Mentors]], [[Staff]], and [[Administrators]] on November 20, 2014 before being released to members who had both the [[Ub3r]] and [[3p1c]] upgrades and was eventually released [[l33t]] members. The XMPP server uses the Prosody software, written in LUA language. HF XMPP requires OTR (Off the record), which encrypts messages sent from client-to-client and users cannot message anyone without OTR installed on their client.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
Starting in 2010, Good Will Monday has been a [[Hack Forum]]s tradition which was started by [[Omniscient]], encouraging members to reward others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Details==&lt;br /&gt;
On the first Monday in June, members who have the ability to give positive [[Reputation]] to other members are encouraged to give out 5 reputation points to others whom they think give back to the community in a positive manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others are also asked to try and avoid conflicts and not to give out any negative reputation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The direct quote by Omniscient states that&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;On this day you&#039;ll be asked to give 5 positive reputations to members that you feel have been a positive and contributing influence to HF. This is the day when you stop all the negative crap and think positively by giving out some good vibes and positive reps.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Leaders==&lt;br /&gt;
===Current===&lt;br /&gt;
* None. This group no longer exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Past===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Daisy |Daisy]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Cody |Cody]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Group History==&lt;br /&gt;
This group was the second to last new group to have been purchased on Hack Forums, given [[Complexity |Complexity&#039;s]] inception following [[Judge Dredd |Judge Dredd&#039;s]] demotion. Talks to buy the group were in progress prior to [[Omniscient |Omniscient&#039;s]] announcement that groups were no longer being sold. On October 1st, 2012, the group opened its doors to invitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The meaning behind the group was nothing short of a love story. The story is said to go:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A long time ago, three years ago to be exact, there was this girl who loved this boy madly (in fact they were both deeply in love) and they had cute things they share with one another. But these cute things had deeper meanings you see, they meant more than words. The two lovers would experiment with words to express their feelings, and 143 came first. &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The meaning of 143 was as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
*1 = 1 letter in I.&lt;br /&gt;
*4 = 4 letters in Love.&lt;br /&gt;
*3 = 3 letters in You.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since its formation, the group had been one of the biggest contributors to Hack Forums. The group had often shown its compassion for the community with some of the largest giveaways Hack Forums has ever seen, time and time again. Many of the users also contributed in one of the biggest help desks in the [[Innuendo]] section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past when asked what the rest of the community should expect to see of 143 we were given the following response:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Expect to see nothing but the best from 143.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group was changed to Phoenix after being purchased from [[Daisy]] from [[Tibit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Goal or Manifesto==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;143 is a group of select individuals unified in the ideology of helping and maintaining a certain level of quality throughout all of HackForums. Our basis is simple, in order to have; one must learn to give. &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recruitment==&lt;br /&gt;
143 is an exclusive, invite only group, so there are no set requirements. However there is not one specific quality, but many that are looked for in potential members. Invitations must be unanimously decided upon by both of the leaders after the members judged on a series of things. Of course, this system can fail but will all good things come not-so-good things.&lt;br /&gt;
