i just restored my access to this forum just to say hello to you :) now i feel old

What heart warming story. Best wishes!

I started as teenager who interesting all hacking buzz in early 2008, it was crazy period and lot of talented folks on internet doing things for fun, remember(CD drive virus pranks ^.^ and browser showing indecent search engine :P).

Internet had a element of mystery then! Now all gone it's all commercial and controlled, feels very different now. There was rebellious vibe to internet, now its all politics now.

I started with Tuts4you and unpackme, lena151 tuts. Thanks a bunch I learned a lot and still learning.

@taos, we're around same ages. Yes, Exetools is a must to be in site. There are a couple of others in my life like here, some are still BBS :)

Sorry to hear you can't afford to buy Twitter. Next time let's do a group buy :)

Cheers,

Thank you for everything you have done. I learned so much from your early work. Don't worry about age, I am 20 years older!

Now the forums are becoming more and more defunct, but I hope exetools stays active.

There is a problem with uploading on forum; hopefully will be solved soon.

That's a great story to hear, especially during those times where hyper-commercialization of everything on the Internet is causing the forum scene to slowly die; Exetools and a few others forums (Woodmann <3) has been foundational for me as well

This is interesting and me everytime i put resume for job i get email back we found guys which matches our required skills, thanks for applying check our website for others posts available. We appreciate for applying.

I guess taos can lend me 1million then thats enough for me 😆😆 :D

I hope too exetools forum will stay active. I missed Woodmann's and other websites that were good resources, and am happy to see that Exetools is still alive, and that I could register again (I had an account long ago...). Long live the forum, thanks the admins and moderators.

I've been around for sometime and just landed here.
I think for informal collaborative efforts the forum format surely not perfect but it's the best we have; it'll survive like the PC.
I'm very glad we still have exetools for software reversing, eevblog for electronics and firmware, etc. They provide the excitement I do not get on other fourms (i.e. cars) or social networks (boring).
Long live to exetools! Thanks

Not to forget [BOLD]tuts4you forum[/BOLD] which is the best for reversing and free discussion.
Most importantly all the members are treated equally at that forum.
No rules like higher ranked members can make "thank you" posts and go scot free while lower ranked members get severe penalty.
Forum rules are also regularly implemented and equally for everyone in the tuts4you forum rather than once in a bluemoon...
