Rusty_v's account was compromised this week. Fortunately, not much damage was done. Most of their actions were reputation related; they had rep fucked 3 members and removed many reps on individual members. It also appears that they swapped some LR payment links in the marketplace with their own LR ID. The complete official announcement regarding this can be viewed here. Unfortunately, he is no longer a part of the staff team at HackForums and is now a Mentor. No official reason has been provided for the demotion.
A list of the countries which are currently blocked has been made here. These blocks represent problems with IPs originating from these countries. Country blocks are one effective way to eliminate "bad traffic". This list is not permanent and is subject to change.
Yet another member, Scooter, has joined those with over a thousand reputation, while тнєJσкєя is steadily climbing to second place right behind Omniscient for highest reputation.
Vitani's Mate has reached twenty-thousand posts in nine months, with over eighty-five posts per day. He is less than two-thousand posts away from obtaining first place in highest post count.
As many know, SeaNanners™ wanted the Sushi Lovers award, so he made a thread with a video trying to show his "First time eating Sushi" Defcon. later revealed it to be a lie and the video leeched. Be sure to see the original thread here and Defcon revealing it here.
Anime Adventures has launched the AARadio, headed by Tasemu. AARadio is basically a radiostation run by members of AA for members of AA. Anyone wishing to hear some delicious music check out their radio, otherwise, see their thread here.
There has been much hostility towards Avante's hosting, members like Poliice have posted threads revealing the truth about Avante's Hosting. Read his hosting thread here and the warning thread here.
Sir's Bitch found a recent problem in the updates Omniscient has been trying to do, with the recent bans of the alt characters, to stop impersonation, it has also banned spaces in general. Hopefully this can be sorted out soon.
There have been about a pound and a half of leadership changes, but do not fret, those will be included in the Misc. edition. Also, I realize the user news was a bit short this time 'round, I apologize, it's just that all "user news" that I found, would technically go in the Misc. edition. Thanks.
We apologize for the absence of World News this week. I was unable to find a temporary replacement for BlackChaos.

Interview 1 - Disciple
Valik ϟ says:
OKay then, shall we begin. Hello DescipLe, thanks for participating in HF news interview.
DiscipLe says:
Hello Valik, I'm glad I could be apart of the HF news.
Valik ϟ says:
Haha, so, do you have any shout outs to any of your friends on HF or anywhere else?
DiscipLe says:
For sure, shout outs to Frida, Mewtwo and Wolves, that's about it.
Valik ϟ says:
Im sure these people will be reading the news, so thats great. Since you have the gamer award, we are going to speak about gaming today. What is your favourite console/game?
DiscipLe says:
Well, I'm mostly and xbox gamer, I own an xbox 360, and mainly play Call of Duty, and Halo. I enjoy FPS games, and normally play them daily.
Valik ϟ says:
Sounds good, any particular games you are waiting for?
DiscipLe says:
Definitely, I'm really anxious to see how MW3 (Modern Warfare 3) turns out, as I'm hearing good and bad things about it. I've seen multiple videos leading me to believe it's going to be great.
Valik ϟ says:
Their multiplayer trailer was great, aint it. Well, tell us a little about how you started gaming, what was your first game you played and the console you played on.
DiscipLe says:
Honestly, it wasn't xbox, playstaion, or any console... The first gaming "system" I've ever played was a gameboy color, and believe it or not, pokemon yellow was the game that got me into gaming. The classics were always great, and I could go back and play them today and have just as much fun.
Valik ϟ says:
Haha, i remember rocking on Pokemon Blue. What additions do you like to your gaming? Tell us about your setup and the music you listen while you playing, if you do.
DiscipLe says:
Gladly, I currently use a 42" LG LED TV, with my Turtle Beach X41 surround sound headphones for sound. I have an HD PVR which I use to record and upload videos to youtube with. But when I'm playing any game, I need to be playing some music to keep me pumped and into the game. I normally listen to some dub-step or Wiz Khalifa.
Valik ϟ says:
Wow, sounds like you are a hardcore gamer ;). What type of player you are? Do you prefer Individual or Team Games? Do you do any competitive gaming, like GameBattles?
DiscipLe says:
To be honest, I prefer individual games, alike free for all, and other "lone wolf" types of games, so I only have myself to blame if I mess up. And I do play GameBattles, in fact, I played another member's team from HF in a two versus two match. Unfortunately we lost but it was really fun. I like playing competitive games, they keep me excited.
Valik ϟ says:
Sounds good, but don't you think you are being selfish? What if someone asked you to play competitive with him, would you decline?
DiscipLe says:
Not at all, I like playing team as well, as long as I know I can rely on them. I would definitely accept a team invite, or something of that sort if I knew we were going to do good. As long as I can have fun, I'm down.
Valik ϟ says:
Very true. Which one of us would like to be in a bad team? What do you think about mentoring players? Have you had any experience in actually teaching people how to play?
DiscipLe says:
Not really, I've played a lot with friends in real life, and helped them get better by telling them where to go...etc. But other than that, I don't think I've really "taught" anyone how to play, although I wouldn't mind starting mentoring players, it could be fun.
Valik ϟ says:
Alrighty, well we are about to finish. Last question. If you had one wish, what would it be and why?
DiscipLe says:
That's actually a really hard question to answer, I can't really think of one thing I would want over anything else atm. I guess all I could really want would be to keep my family and friends safe, that's about it...
Valik ϟ says:
Thats really nice of you. Well you guys had a nice portion of 'gamers' talk and maybe some of you learned something new today. Thanks for your time, DescipLe and have a nice evening :).
DiscipLe says:
Thank you Valik, the same to you. Bye!
