Lack of Spirit

Some people have told me that they feel the HDB is pointless. The whole idea behind the HDB is to tell the stories of the past for those who don't know them. Many people don't realize where the hacking/underground/whatever-you-want-to-call-it community has come from, and I feel that it's important to know the roots. Just like a good math teacher will tell you about the history of mathematics, it seems that people should know the history of computer hackers. I feel many people have a lack of spirit as described in http://phrack.com/issues.html?issue=64&id=4#article

I know that our database is very far from complete and does not have many of the modern individuals involved with the community. We need all of the help that we can get to add people. I have a large list of handles that need to be added, if anybody would like to help - please drop me a message! I would love to get the HDB up to date, but I don't want to focus the majority of the resources within SOLDIERX doing it.

I'm open to ideas if anybody has any they'd like to suggest.
