The Hack Forums admin said: Im going to be shutting down the SST forum.
No new threads can be created there.
All non-stickies are closed.
Once the current paid stickies expire the section will be removed entirely.
Existing policies disallowing SST in any section besides SST currently still apply until I update the Help Docs.
Unfortunately once again the few ruin it for the many.
LaBrocca said on Friday the section will never return, even when the drama dies down.
Im personally disappointed that this is the path I have to take for protect the community.
I loathe having to censor material that could be beneficial to members.
The admin also clarified that the use of stress testing tool is subject to legally bonded T&Cs.
These tools can be designed to verify whether a website can withstand cyberattacks.
Were an open online forum which allows discussion and content other sites might not allow.
Were to the freedom of technology information what WikiLeaks is to government and corporate information, explained LaBrocca.
Hack Forums Server Stress Testing section prohibited posts related to websites that offer DDoS attacks.
