Should we open the Social Engineering section to the public? While we initially locked the section to preserve our .LY domain, that was clearly in vain. No amount of content restrictions would sate the Libyan overlords.

We're considering opening the section to the public again. We'll likely require registration to view the section, though. I know some of you paid money for your upgrades, so if people want the section to remain restricted I'm happy to honor that.

Yes although i think there needs to be something for the people who paid, is the deceit group still a thing?

For the most deserving there is the 'Deceit' group, which features a separate, private forum designed for more exclusive methods.

And btw: as long as I am here and this forum stands, this group will thrive. While outside commitments may prevent me from being online every single day, my dedication is absolute in ensuring this community remains vibrant and active. The time and passion you choose to invest here are never wasted.

Yes, but whether you can join is entirely up to @Green314. The entry requirement, to my knowledge, has always been significantly higher than Bronze.

Oni I was well above bronze even before the owner switch took place. I still would like some sort of access.

Adding to this, could we consider making it available upon invite?

In my opinion, the priority is not so much focussing on the (few) "Bronze" users who bc of that bought upgraded, but rather recovering the forum's historical traffic, which was heavily driven by the Social Engineering section. With ~15k threads and ~150k posts already indexed online, that content pool inevitably guarantees a substantial organic influx of visitors. Once a steady and active user base is restored, nothing will prevent us from making that section private again in the future.
