Category Proposal: */0x00 and Chill

Site Feedback

0x00sec as we all know is a great Hacking and Computer Science community. I thought that having a category for some funny stuff, memes etc related to computers and hacking would be great. I just wanted to know the view of the community over this so here is my poll.

Should we have a category for funny stuff/memes related to hacking and computers?

  • Sure, I wants to has Lulz!
  • Nah

I am eager to know the results…

EDIT: Hail Lulz! SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM!

Perhaps strictly infosec related? I don’t want this site becoming a flood of memes.

I might even check the site more frequently if there were lulz to be had. >.>

Maybe we can broaden the idea with not only memes but also some nice stories related to hacking, like @Ninja243’s John Doe article and @ivlb’s Cracking WPA article. Perhaps an Entertainment category with Lulz and Fiction as sub-categories as suggested by @dtm also?

So me and @dtm have talked on this and the conclusion is that Lulz is not really what we want this category to achieve. I fear having just Lulz will make us the next 9Gag. Lulz is actually a part of this category we want to name 0x00 and Chill. This is the place we propose to have a social section for the members with Fictional Stories related to hacking, Lulz, debates, gaming(this is computer related) and much more. Debates and Stories will be amazing(Thank you @dtm). If you have a better title for this category, do reply. If you want this category to be made and agree to the sub categories, vote here:

  • Yeah, the idea is cool.
  • I am cool with just Lulz.
  • No way!

0x00sec can turnout to be a heaven for the InfoSec guys! What do you think?

EDIT: I invite the admins @pry0cc, @oaktree, @unh0lys0da and the mod @pysec.

I think IRC is a better place for such offtopic things.

You can’t post stories and articles on IRC and not everyone is there on the IRC all the time.

We do have the social corner tho

Then maybe add the proposed sub-categories to it?

So what’s the verdict?

Honestly it’s hard to know right now it seems. Everyone has had valid concerns over it so far. Although in my opinion I would like something similar to it. Nothing beats a meme like an InfoSec meme. Although, perhaps for now one must try to incorporate memes when they fit best in posts. And as @unh0lys0da said we do have a social corner where many may be able to fit some pretty cool memes in the middle and so on. Although either way I thought of it as a good idea :smile:.

If you are on Twitter, a lot of this banter does happen. We can go anywhere and find memes, and if we Google we can find infosec memes.

I think gaming is completely unrelated, and is so vast it could make up a whole community just on it. What we want to do is avoid becoming a God Object, as outlined in OOP, websites are the same. Things need to be diverse, but not so diverse that you can no longer find anything.

I think we could modify the social category to include stories (fictional or real).

Memes could be in posts? Related to that topic? And what about debates?

A lounge sounds interesting indeed. Would love to share some of my stories I’ve encountered while gaming!
