Do a barrel roll!
this may look like a call of duty post but it is meant to address the progression of this community
As many of you know and many of you don't know I was here in 2008. Back then the community was much smaller, a tightly knit group... we were happy when we hit 20,000 members. Thats much different today, where we are growing at around a thousand members every couple days. With that said we have to take a step back and look at the changes that have occurred, back in 2008 and 2009 this website gained its members due to its ability to produce glitch videos daily, we prided ourselves on how skilled our glitchers were. Now its all about the hacks. See thats where i see the problem... hacking is a leechers sport, ~10 people will come up with a bunch of different cool hacks but ~100,000+ people will use those hacks. Glitching was something everyone had to learn to do, whether it be strafe jumping, bounces, bayonet jumps, elevators, you name it you would have to learn how to do it. Hacking on the other hand is a download and go kind of thing as long as you know how to be a leecher. Now yes I know its the progression as a community, but I sort of see that glitching was a gateway drug, we got bored with simple glitches so we delved into the world of hacking, but thats just not fun because it takes the ambition, the curiosity, the integrity away from community that once was a glitching community. Yes there still are glitches being produced, but no where near the rate that they could be if we actually focused on finding them. When all people care about is waiting for the next hack why would they bother glitching. Who knows what we could of found on any of these newer released games if we weren't worried about when hacked lobbies were coming.
Basically what im saying is lets put hacking on the back burner, yes its a big thing now, but lets not put all our interest in it. Lets focus on progressing as a community to be a community, get involved with each other in finding things the old fashioned way because thats the way that got us to where we are today.

Totally agree iTerm, I wasn't around back in 2008 and 2009 but I have been here a half a year and along with the stories I hear from OG members like your self we need to get back to more glitching. I mean of course we can not totaly just throw out hacking but we can totally increase our glitching!
Good post man :y:

The thing is, its hard to go back to glitching and finding stuff out ourselves because a lot of sites evolved from here, people will leech stuff off them. Whether its glitching, or hacking people will get stuff from those sites. I'd love to see it go back to the way it was in 2009 (yes, I was around then) because it was so much better.
Well said, iTerm.
