Evilzone doesn't feel very big, but it is...

[Kulverstukas]

I feel proud being an admin here, I really am. The community and the forum doesn't feel quite large because of the handful of people posting, but the forum is large and it seems well known, believe it or not.

I've been stumbling upon and found this on the front page (scroll down):

Code: [Select]

http://www.fromdev.com/2013/07/Hacking-Tutorials.htmland I am sure this isn't the only time EZ was mentioned in big sites.

How do you feel in here? proud? does the community or forum feel small? huge?

Didnt see that before.
I feel the same way, probably because the core members come in small numbers and know each other pretty well, I believe this simulates the sensation of being small.
Perhaps it is because of the strong community feeling.
Yet we have tons of members, mostly they just leave so it seems.

Their is a big knowledge base here. Those that want quick skills run off after a day but if you stay around, this place is amazing.

It has always been a strange effect. In the beginning there was a very close cluster of people who mostly had boobies as avatars and banned every single noob there was. But other than that i always wished to be noticed and be befriended by this group. Sadly i have never had this opportunity but after the new Phase the group formed around us and the cycle began again. But I think it's always important to allow people who stick around for long enough to join the group.

Yeah, I been around this place only for 1.5 years by now and I feel at home.
As Axon kindly pointed out there is evilzone, skids and proxx.
It is interesting that only certain ppl decide to stick around and join the group.
Being the new guy is always hard and it takes time to win the trust of the core userbase.
It is well worth the investment.

I've had my eye on EZ for about a year now, and I just joined. Already I feel a sense of community, and pure authenticity the community. Idk, its just a good feeling of belonging. its hard to explain. Just so happy I came to EZ.

To explain evilzone is a subject matter that no one can describe. We are a large forum, however like with most only few post. Even with my long time "away" there is still the same people that are the most active. People register for the goods but are in fear of being called out for their skiddy like nature. This is not HF, in my heart always home. This is not your average forum but a home to those that have none. In each rendition of EZ there has always been a small group that is closer than the rest but share for all including the leechers. EZ is one of a kind

truer words have never been spoken. I completely agree....

I've been here for over 6 years now and what I'm really happy to see now is how every board of the forum is at least a bit active. Back in 2007-2008 it was only about hacking and defacing websites for fun. Now there are good technical posts, the programming forums are active (which is really awesome to see) and people help each other to answer questions from anybody. While I don't really post anywhere I still lurk around and as a founding member of this forum I'm really happy to see where were at now.

Wait... There's a closed group? Why haven't I been invited?

Evilzone is amazing and for me the community lies much more in the IRC channel than on the website. This is also why I promote the IRC channel in every single welcomming post for new members. If you really want to get into the community, you have to get to talk with people on a more relaxed/personal basis and IRC is great for that. But sadly, too many new members don't see this. They are only here to get an answer on one or two questions and then leave. We're not a closed circle of core members, we're open to almost anyone, but not many succeed to realize how a community works.

Anyway, Evilzone is like a family. You got friends to talk with about almost any shit you can think off. You won't get judged by your problems/thoughts. In many ways, this is better than "in real life" friends since there's no prejudicies.

Stay strong Evilzone!

Can't say I completley agree with that. I will drop by the irc but it seems every time I do not much talking as most are idling. However it does have its role with the community. Also we do tend to shun the skiddy portion of those who register. Then others scared off by the doc. Just my 2 cents

Be there more often and you'll see Don't expect us to see you joining immediatly, it's not forbidden to start a conversation yourself.
