We were recently contacted by both Supernigger and Taran King to remove the listings of their last names from the HDB. After some thought, I decided that this was a legitimate request and performed it. We would like for anybody on the HDB to know that we will gladly remove last names if needed. You simply need to contact me and provide a means for me to verify your identity. We hope that we're not upsetting anybody with the HDB, as it is just a means to talk about many of the people and stories that seem to have been forgotten.
I have many updates today for everybody involved with SOLDIERX. We are now testing our new server, http://test.soldierx.com. A very special thanks to Zerash (zee) and Ocyrus for making this happen! Thanks a bunch guys, we really owe you.
Durandal is now officially back from vacation and online. Contrary to the rumors, he did *NOT* get party vanned. He's working hard to get everything organized for the return of SOLDIERX. I know that it's been slow and painful, but it seems to finally be coming together. Durandal will be speaking with Blake at Defcon 16 about vulnerabilities in cable modems. For more information, please see http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-16/dc-16-speakers.html#Self
Lloth has informed us that he is working on a new template for the web interface. I will be doing the graphics of course, but he will be improving upon the content and current layout. If you want to help out, please contact him in our IRC channel.
Lloth from Blackcode is now an official member of SOLDIERX. He's going to start out here by helping us to cleanup the new site and fix all of the problems that we're currently experiencing. As I said on the site launch news release, Kyle Browning is still suffering from the loss of EPiC. Once all of the bugs are worked out and we have a solid system setup, Lloth is going to work with me on projects for SX Labs. He has experience in vulnerability discovery and has expressed an interest in projects involving that. Please welcome him aboard on the forums and in IRC.
Seeing the disarray and chaos that erupted on release day, Amp Divorax has agreed to return to iron out many of the problems that we're currently having. In the past, he was known as the Archangel of Mutilation of Pain and has been known to wield a mighty banhammer. He has decided to come aboard as my adviser in order to insure that the SOLDIERX idea is kept clean of AIDS and FAIL. He will be monitoring things on the site and making sure people are doing what they're supposed to be doing. Once things are back on the right track, he plans to work with me on the return of the SX Radio.
I would like to start out by welcoming everybody to the new site. I'm glad that we're back publicly, but I am not so happy about the new site so far. For this reason, I posted on the main index that this is a test of our new site, since I don't feel that it's currently where it needs to be. Please cut me some slack on any misspellings and grammatical errors that exist in this post - I have been up for most of the weekend and am slightly incoherent at the moment.
As usual, Launch has been hectic to say the least, but thanks to the help of Lloth and Iadnah from our ancient allies BlackCode we're on schedule despite all the events of this coming week. Thanks guys.
