Hello and welcome to the new Evilzone forum.
This topic will clear up alot of questions regarding whats currently going on with the new look/rules etc. And also the history of these other communities that are being blended into Evilzone.
First of, let me say why we have chosen to go back to a more "dark" look and rules. The past month or so have been quiet.. But still, troublesome. Even after all the work Evilzone staff have done to turn Evilzone away from the "dark" scene, we have had DoS, DDoS and other negative activities aimed towards Evilzone. Now, we have managed to keep a good uptime rate non the less. My point is, even though Evilzone have tried to escape from the dark-side. It seems impossible. So why bother? To be honest, I cant even remember why we started turning the other direction in the first place.(yaya, it had to do with quality and professionality... But who fucking cares about quality if there is 5 active members?). So, Evilzone is going back to the old-style Evilzone. Not 100%, but almost. Rules and ideology will be much of the same.
For this new era of Evilzone we have invited almost 17.000 members back from various databases(all owned by the owner(s) of Evilzone).
About 14.000 old Evilzone members, 2.000 1nj3ct members and 500 Nationalhacker members.
For those of you who have no clue what 1nj3ct was, or what Nationalhacker was or are comming from 1nj3ct and have no clue what either of Evilzone or Nationalhacker was etc.
1nj3ct, or 1nj3ct.org/in/com/eu/ws/info and whatnot is one of my old community creations created at a time where I left Evilzone for a while.
Nationalhacker.org, created soon after the closing of 1nj3ct but only lasted a few months I believe, and never got very big. It was a good run though.
To put things in time-perspective.(My timeline anyway, Evilzone have been online the entire time 1nj3ct and Nationalhacker was online)
Evilzone->1nj3ct->Nationalhacker->Evilzone
But enough of the other communities. This is now, now is Evilzone.
Evilzone, earlier called Evilzone.net and even earlier HackersHeaven was founded by Netspliter and Evil.Io. Netspliter and Evil.Io got in some kind of argument and an internal war broke out inside Evilzone(.net at that time). The domain Evilzone.org was created and Evilzone was now split in half. Evilzone.org and Evilzone.net. In the end Evilzone.org "won" the war and have since then been the only version of Evilzone.
My entry at Evilzone was December 13, 2007. By this time I believe there was more than 100.000 posts or close to it, and alot of members. There were days with way over a hundred new posts and just as many comments. The community was AWESOME. When I first got to Evilzone I was a complete noob, Evilzone is infact what got me into this game(IFailStuff, previously under another nick was the one who introduced Evilzone to me). From the time I started posting to the time I was first promoted to moderator of Evilzone is a little foggy for me, but not long after I was promoted to mod I was again promoted to Administrator after getting to know Netspliter fairly well. :)
Years passed, and the community was still awesome. Ofcourse it had its ups and down, as any old Evilzoner will recall when he or she reads this. But, I stand my ground, it was awesome. I won't go in any detailed history from this time in this topic, but there were alot of happenings back then.
Then the time of 1nj3ct arrived. After some drama at Evilzone I decided to go another direction and leave Evilzone. I believe I already knew Darkc0ke quite well at this time, and we ended up starting 1nj3ct. 1nj3ct really was one of a kind, it got extremely popular in just two months. But for unknown reasons it was closed.
After 1nj3ct closed down I kinda had nothing to do and I still wanted to run a forum, so I created Nationalhacker. Nationalhacker never really got a great deal of attention, but it was a cool forum non the less. Nationalhacker was closed short time after its opening also because of unknown reasons.
Now I had nothing.. No 1nj3ct, no Nationalhacker. So ya, I ended up coming back to Evilzone. Things got taken care of, and I was reunited with Evilzone and got my administrator status back iirc.
Time passed and nothing really important or interesting happened at this time. Odin was the main owner of Evilzone at this time, with Netspliter still in control of the domain. For some reasons Evilzone was dying. It got less and less interesting topics/discussions and members. Not wanting to sit around and watch, I stole Evilzone. I got root access to the server, dumped the database and gained domain control. Without anyone noticing I set up a new server with the same old database and repointed the domain to my server. Demoted all other administrators so I was in complete control. Now, this may seem very bad :P And it kinda was too, but it really was for the best interest of Evilzone, either it worked out or not. My idea was to change Evilzone into something more ethical and professional, that way bringing more quality topics/discussion/posts to the community. It started with changing the rules, removing the showoff board and disallowing defacements in the name of Evilzone. Short after, we even closed the old forum and started a new forum(all of these forums are available in the archives) to get rid of old crap. This new forum was open for a while, got ~3k members and about 10k posts. This forum was of somewhat quality, but it died even faster than the old forum. It really was quality over quantity. Satan911 was at this time co-admin and owner of Evilzone. We ended up closing this forum to because things didn't worked out the way we wanted it to, and Evilzone became a IRC network instead. We setup a blog index with information about Evilzone and its network instead of having a forum.
For a long time Evilzone was a IRC network only, we provided IRC hosting for anyone who wanted it, other communities etc. This we still do if anyone is interested. Only a few months back from now(March 2011) we created a mini-forum for Evilzone, this one didn't work out that well, but we tried again with a new dedicated forum only weeks later. This forum turned out much like the one after the oldest forum, it had some quality to it, but there was not much activity going on. This forum is available in the archives under the name "the white board".
Now we have closed "the white board" and are starting a new era with this board.
This will be Evilzone's last attempt to create a popular forum once again. And we hope our old members will come back and have fun with Evilzone once again.
On a final note, I would like to say that this "story" is as told from my point of view. If you have a different experience, you are more than welcome to post it here :) I may even have remembered wrong, so do notify about false information if you find any.

Good writing and an interesting story! Let's hope EZ will have its golden days again :)
-
Cool story. I remember the old EZ, with all that activity you mentioned. It was realle awesome, yeah. I hope this gets that way.
-
It's pretty correct from what i remember.
.. Welcome back friends.
-
Cool history, bro.
There was few things I didn't really knew :P well, I pretty much knew most of the stuff since 1nj3ct times but nothing until then :P
Adding to this story, I'd like to say that 1nj3ct (later Evilzone) was what got me started to do things with computers other than playing games :D and look at me now... :P
Big boy growing up. Lol.
-
Hope this will grow big as the old communities!
Good luck.

all the best and hope it will be a great success this time ;D ;D

Damn that was a long read :-P will be interesting to see how this next attempt turns out.

So, ande, after some years of sparkling arrogance you finally decided that EZ was alright the way it was.
EZ will never be as it was, you want to know why? Because Evilzone was a forum of lulz, and you (and some others) killed it.
It's dead, over. It'll never have the same soul. Only memories exist in our minds to remind us of how great it was back then. Wonderful memories, it's almost like a dream to me now.
Good night :)

Don't be so negative, Evilzone will rise once again to its lulzy levels.

Dude, come on, you re-start this forum after what was it... 1 or 2 years, and want me to be happy about it just because it showed up with no reason, like the way it vanished? :P
We'll see though. :'(
-
Nicely done,
lets hope that Evilzone will be growing to a big community :P
-
It was interesting to read :)

The changes that Evilzone have been thought have been a part of a learning curve. Perhaps the Internet simply needs boards like Evilzone was instead of the ultra professional ethical pages. Its just easier to share information etc that way.

The older boards that looked like this has been gone for some time, not Evilzone in general.. Didn't say that either :)
-
Awesome story, I hope that this forum takes off and starts getting some major amounts of traffic.
-
man glad you brought it back! 1nj3ct was awesome! so i know this place the best! thanks again brotha!
-
Nice post. I really like the theme that went along with the change. Now it really feels like an EvilZone.

I still remember the old EZ and the cool stuffs shared..learned many things and had good time...Hope EZ is back
-
Welcome back friends ! I' was EZ member from the its early days. And always have sadness because the community fell apart. The changed design is cool and I have faith that things will go the right direction this time! Nice work, Ande !! ;)
-
I'm so glad this happened, the theme just didn't look or feel right to me so I kept putting off coming back here. I think this is the best change you could have made here ande, hopefully more of the old vip guys will see the change and come back too. I missed this place that's for sure.
-
Once again EZ changes it's way of seeing things, you are aware that lots of members left when EZ went whitehat and when EZ went IRC only.
Anyhow I hope it works and once again we become a good community, full of posts and members, even if if 90% are blackhats and 90% of those are skids, we'll still get some good members.
I just hope the forum gets more active and with better quality.
Go Go EZ! :D
-
i hope this site would be as good as it was
i had fun joining .
-
oh yeah.. long read ;p but very interesting story.. great (and as for me surprising) changes. Most of that I didn't know as a relatively new EZ member. Hopefully EZ will be as it was before :)
-
You missed the part where Evilzone's entire history.

The different stages it went through with different administrations, the trouble it's seen in the past, joepie and viraL and Micker etc.

Odin was and is a important figure of Evilzone

This is by no means a full story of Evilzone, like I wrote in the first post(iirc), I didn't and did not intend to go into any details. But like Factionwars said, you can write a full story if you got the time for it ;)
-
Exam week in school. When I have time I'll write it up.

I've never been a forum-type person. It has always been
IRC-related, but I decided to sign up on here just for the hell
of it. You shouldn't be afraid of kids with nets. If you are, this
is the wrong industry to be in. ;)
-
Did odin write a story, I'm quite curious.

No he didn't, doubt he will be active any time soon aswell.

I don't like mushy stories evilzone past was fun but trie to make new evilzone more fun. And remeber evilzone was a forum and a forum is for members , members are a comunity and the comunity is for helping it's members grow . Of course you can make a difrence betwean nubs and profesionals , but make it sow none will feel it :P and it's gooing to be fine
-

You can do anything you want, we cant control you :P However, keep in mind that your actions might hurt EZ as much as it does "good". Read the about post, the members of Evilzone are the ones in control.
-
sweet, I like control 8)
but I don't deface sites anywho, much better to be a silent observer :P

I was a VIP back in the old EZ :\

I remember the rebellion XD logging in and being like "dah fuck". The drama with Joepie, boy oh boy was i around for a lot. Comeing back to see that we atleast this time have some settled structure is nice. I hope we keep the drama out of it this time? Ande, a question, what will you do for those Evilzone oldfags who have returned?

I think your out of luck there. They usually don't get much just for being here before unless they do something.

nope nothing, ofcourse, a old trusted member, will get trust, and respect:).
And that is one of the best things to reach out here.
