We're "hiring"
Posted by Marijn - Sunday October 19 @ 15:39 As you've probably noticed, for the past time there were almost zero updates to Net-Force. Having a day time job as software engineer, I can't seem to find the time and energy to work on Net-Force in the evening hours. I still think Net-Force is a really cool project, that taught me a lot of stuff (I'm now the 'security dude' where I work :)). My apologies to everyone who tried to contact me and thanks to all users and admins for keeping Net-Force alive. So in the near future I'm going to assign some admins and give the current admins more rights to handle the daily tasks. Also, I will be more online on IRC and Net-Force and fix the few challenges that are broken now. Help out: If you like to blow new life into Net-Force by managing the community, posting security news, and maybe coding some challenges or new features, please contact me! We have a lot of great plans, but not enough time.

Thanks for such a great news (News of the year i guess) :)
and I think, most of the members'll love contributing their part for NF, so do I...

DRaakje on 20 October 2008 11:05

sweet!

profoX on 20 October 2008 16:12

:) glad that there's finally some new activity

BLAZER on 20 October 2008 18:23

Yay, Marijn has spoken.

mith_mith on 20 October 2008 21:56

lol i thought marijn was extinct too

cracker-net on 21 October 2008 17:26

Three years (or so) ago Marijn would've taken a look on 2 new (simple) challs i've made / taken with permission.
... Three years are over fast.

Does this mean that my donation will be accepted again? :D

Big-R on 1 November 2008 20:54

Nice, I hope the library will expand a bit...

rhican on 2 November 2008 00:42

stop hoping start doing

XaVeRiuS on 12 November 2008 14:03

*cough* Poke *cough*

some 25 days later...

googler on 12 November 2008 18:33

he may not be free like u n me n mr sarcasm :)

rhican on 12 November 2008 23:25

a few points:

- try to use instead of letters
- don't talk about what you do not know

g3n1us4tpl4y on 13 November 2008 12:04

Google knows everything ;-)

rhican on 13 November 2008 16:21

it's not so much about being free, as it is about choices and doing what you say you will do.

googler on 17 November 2008 14:38

hmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm

soulslayer on 27 November 2008 13:22

ah well... dropped a mail a month ago.. still no answer...

XaVeRiuS on 27 November 2008 13:58

Let's keep counting: almost 6 weeks have gone by...

profoX on 1 December 2008 00:40

jup.. :(

soulslayer on 19 December 2008 08:52

Marijn: Last login November 15, 2008

Pfff, man...

If priorities are not here, then hand the stuff over(or at least give someone svn access so challenges can be fixed).

DRaakje on 19 December 2008 11:19

So true

XaVeRiuS on 21 December 2008 13:44

Indeed...

profoX on 24 December 2008 16:49

If this goes on any longer maybe we should start a new community :/

DRaakje on 25 December 2008 16:33

Maybe someone of us should check if there are some insecurities that can be exploited ;-)

cracker-net on 28 December 2008 04:49

2009 = Net-Force v3? :)

BernardV on 10 January 2009 11:12

About the "Start Flashing" challenge.. it isn't really broken, just a bit harder to accomplish ;)
There is a variable that was correctly set in the beginning, now you can set it yourself in the browser addressbar "javascript:var myMovie = 'chal'"
I will try to update the broken code next week.

Polundra on 27 January 2009 23:49

I'm willing to participate, even in new community.

Northern part of the Netherlands.

DRaakje on 28 January 2009 09:01

Code:

Time spent 	3 minutes

Wow, you are easy to convince.

XaVeRiuS on 12 March 2009 20:08

Are we still hiring?

soulslayer on 12 March 2009 20:09

lol... guess not...

rhican on 12 March 2009 21:21

No it's crisis, haven't you heard..

Infact we are trying to let go 5 of our zero current admins ;-)

soulslayer on 18 March 2009 08:43

ghah.
Is he just being ignorant?
Or does he live in a cave or did he get abducted by the secret service?

bawwww

Sagrath on 13 April 2009 11:35

He's always ignorant ;)

soulslayer on 27 April 2009 15:58

gheh we could try hacking net-force and take matters in our own hands :p

Big-R on 28 April 2009 22:11

Marijn probably wouldn't even notice it!

rhican on 2 May 2009 00:46

and how many of you actually contacted marijn offering to help?

rahat on 2 May 2009 06:12

I did
* anonymous raises hand

soulslayer on 5 May 2009 13:46

@rhican:
I did several times, not a single response.
So I'm not solely whining about things, but actually willing to help.

rhican on 10 May 2009 04:01

meh then i have nothing

Sagrath on 11 May 2009 09:30

Why doesn't Marijn hand over NF to someone else, like BasThijs did before, when he noticed he didn't had the time to run NF?

Way better off with the old NF!!

rahat on 11 May 2009 22:03

* anonymous seriously thinks that, we should stay here, and wait for the good times to come :)

there is no point leaving NF because of Marijn's (temporarily) busyness... all it takes us to login, check forums, read/reply and logout... no? :D

XaVeRiuS on 30 May 2009 11:57

* XaVeRiuS comes by from time to time, sees nothing's changed yet, whistles, and goes on...

profoX on 30 May 2009 16:16

Yea..

rahat on 2 June 2009 23:01

oo yea

DRaakje on 3 June 2009 13:29

yeps

busyr on 21 June 2009 15:32

9 months have passed... it's about time something (wether it be good or bad) starts to happen overhere...

For those who wanna be the next admin, go tell Marijn again and again and again...

For the rest of us, just continue filling up the forums and continue solving those challenges that doesn't need to be fixed first... Let's at least keep the community alive...

(anyone up for a net-force users-group-meeting? last time at Marijns house was a lot of fun, but we can do that as well without Marijn)

Busy

XaVeRiuS on 21 June 2009 22:25

I've been quite inactive the last few months, but I keep on looking whether something's changing here - I'll be back when things start moving again...
In the meantime, if there were to come a meeting, I might drop by, if it's in BE (preferrably Ghent city) ;)

Cheers!

busyr on 2 July 2009 00:05

You're gonna host it in Ghent?

mith_mith on 16 July 2009 11:20

hello ppl
how are you all?
long time no see

softsnake on 16 July 2009 14:10

helluuwwzzz :-)
things are pretty dead over here, as i read all these comments!

Everybody has to be aged by now, since the start of NF :-) hehe

just passing by to say hello :-)

soulslayer on 28 July 2009 09:46

Yawn, still wandering around here....

Marijn: Last login February 26, 2009
So he know what's going on.

Too bad he doesn't care, obviously.

UnDeRWorLd ScRipTeR on 26 August 2009 14:30

Look how fast the years go...

Wousiej on 26 August 2009 18:15

Hi everyone,

como estas?

Matt_X on 10 September 2009 22:43

Good to hear I'm not the only one who feels slightly nostalgic right now :)

Big-R on 11 September 2009 17:07

Saturday the 19th we'll held our annual "Have you seen Marijn-event"!!! Tickets available at Marijn's

Matt_X on 14 September 2009 12:56

Will there be free beer and 3D goggles available at said event? -If so: rock on!

rahat on 16 September 2009 09:48

I'd love beer... but 3D goggles? not sure why we need them to see Marijn?

DRaakje on 5 October 2009 09:46

So how did this event go?

This site is slowly dying...

soulslayer on 6 October 2009 13:55

Ugh DRaakje, it IS dead.

Or at least in a very deep coma.

I contacted Marijn (via Hyves: he is a webdeveloper there I discovered).

When I mailed him, I almost instantly got a response. When I got confirmed he was the Marijn of NF, I immediately asked what he is going to do about the whole situation: We got a couple of people in here who want to help, but he is refusing any access to the repository.

So I asked him how we can continue to get this site out of it's coma, without his presence.

He asked me a couple of day to think. After 3 days I messaged him again, and received a message stated "I was precise man" and said he had a couple of deadlines to meet. He wanted more time. After two weeks, I mssg'ed: no response. After 4 weeks I mssg'ed, no response.

You could say he doesn´t want to do anything for NF anymore.. or maybe I am wrong, and he´ll have a webteam introduce themselves.

*Sigh*

BasTijs handed the stuff over when he got in this situation. I don't think he would have done that if he knew it would come to this.

DRaakje on 6 October 2009 14:02

:(

Sounds bad, its a shame and I am curious what he wants do with this as its clearly not a priority for him. I wish he would just hand over the "keys" and get this site back on the road...

soulslayer on 6 October 2009 14:47

I think he is very reluctant to just hand over the keys.

I hope he does though :( ....
I have been here from the beginning *points to userid* , and I'll stay here to the end.

butch_18445 on 11 October 2009 20:25

I don't get why he made this post and then didn't follow through....

mith_mith on 14 October 2009 08:48

i wanna eat a soft-snake :)

Sagrath on 8 November 2009 13:34

NF started as a nice community, where members worked together in the forum, and all users where active.

It ends with a multinational inactive site, withs hundreds of inactive members, with admins and mods who don't login for months...

Conclusion? NF v2 should never have been born at all...

To bad for the members who spent hours and hours for creating this once so perfect community!!

Wousiej on 8 November 2009 14:01

I agree with that.
Why don't we migrate back to NFv1?

2004 was the first and best year for me at NF, the years later it went down in a downside spiral..

rhican on 8 November 2009 15:56

I would say go ahead and migrate all you want. Do something besides bitching about an inactive website.

I don't even mind if you blame me for everything.

butch_18445 on 8 November 2009 20:24

Everything is rhican's fault.

rahat on 9 November 2009 07:34

yeah, he is solely responsible for all this mess ^^

Wousiej on 9 November 2009 09:25

Okay, if you mail me the FTP & database credentials and the sourcecode of NF v1 I will begin tonight.

rhican on 9 November 2009 13:58

hah i figured you were going to be lame like that and say you'll migrate if you get everything handed to you.

Wousiej on 9 November 2009 22:24

heh I can see that you're a smart guy.

cracker-net on 14 November 2009 06:15

Let's adore http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://net-force.nl

soulslayer on 8 February 2010 14:40

meh.

It's official: Marijn doesn't really care.

Wousiej on 17 February 2010 23:04

meh²!

mith_mith on 24 February 2010 06:06

am i hired? i had sent my resume 2 years back...still no news..i need a job quickly :-(

rahat on 24 February 2010 10:26

will 'soon' be quick enough?

profoX on 29 May 2010 16:24

There's still people logging in here.. wow

busyr on 30 May 2010 16:34

Yeah, there are... We had a great time here a few years back, and I still kinda hope for the return of the good ol'daze ... :D

BusyR

soulslayer on 6 June 2010 21:56
