Hacking isn't something you learn to do, and it's not something that can be done in a few keystrokes. I've collaborated on many of these teams (in the iOS scene) and I can tell you progress is slow.

Absolutely spot on.

I've been In the scene for 20+ years, from (and even prior to) the days of when the good old 16 bit Windows "3.1" was around. It (hacking, computing) becomes a part of who you are, an entity embedded somewhere In your Identity, the countless hours spent compromising a system, when 3am Is considered an early night's sleep, when failure Is not an option but more so an existence that's not part of the equation and If I keep posting I'll be here all night.

The activity that was generated years ago on this board Is past tense. Leave It at that. Looking at It from this point forward, without question, In my views Sinisterly Is active. Some may see It otherwise but ultimately It depends on what one's Interpretation of "active" Is. If we all spent as much time creating quality threads as we have posting our for and against arguments In this thread, we'd have a spike In activity already.
