Yes, you do. If you'll check out the Progressing Hacks forum, you'll see a "Rules and Requirements" sticky thread, you should read that for all the info you need :)
Hi there, sorry for the late reply to your question!
I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but if I understand correctly, then generally I guess it's okay to talk about the hack in the team thread to some extent- however, it's not acceptable to use the Team thread as a makeshift Hack thread; so while you can use the team thread to give people assignments and so on, you shouldn't really post updates on the hack- it should have its own thread in Progressing Hacks or the Hacks Showcase for that.
Ever wanted a hack that allowed you to play as Team Rocket?
Or maybe even join the police force?
