ok well now everyone's gonna be like "oooh more tools to do stuff i can't figure out on my own!! omg how do i use it?? help plz omgz!!!!11!oneone!11" which is pretty much the exact reason people like me are extremely hesitant to freely contribute to the community. at least when i was figuring all this out about 9 years ago, the newbies were willing to learn and spend effort, and as a result the experienced people were willing to teach. now everyone just expects someone smarter to release the tools to do what they want. news flash: you're just changing a freaking game. if you're really that into "hacking" then learn it yourself, the real way. any internet monkey can use a set of tools. what sets people apart is their ability to figure out problems and find solutions (and it is generally these people that end up making the tools anyway). granted, i know the majority of people on here aren't my age (i'm a couple months away from turning 19, whereas most of you are between 11 and 16), but regardless of age, you can't expect everything to just be handed to you straight up. use some brainpower and contribute back.
sorry for the rant, but it seems like i'm not the only one on the forum with these feelings lately. having been off the scene for ages and finally coming back a couple months ago, i'm kinda shocked to see what this has become. for me, its hard as hell to get any help from the people that know their stuff because they've all started to keep to themselves, because of what this community has become. the people that know what they're doing should still be able to collaborate, at least. so to everyone that drove them away, i hope you're happy.
@Iacobus: that's not directed at you in any way, you didn't do anything to piss me off, no worries :)
