Flame me for necroposting...
But, you guys make me laugh. A lot of the stuff in this thread is hilarious. Let me address a few things:
-one) 1and1 ripped me off. They told me they were selling me a domain, which I was planning on moving to a different host. But they locked me into their domain name host, which was locked to their horrible WYSIWYG editor that I had to pay to be able to embed html "widgets" which was exactly like a form of bbcode with blocked markups. I did manage to get myself into the file system, and find my index file. But editing this tells the server to completely stop executing code until the file is signed by the WYS editor. I believe I did send them a nasty parting ticket, in full explicit technical detail. And I noticed they changed their advertisement wording the next day, when I was tracked for follow up interest.
-two) I meant that methods in and of themselves are a general waste of time. Along the same lines as the famous phrase, "The worst thing you can do in life is wait for the best moment to act. The best time is now, always has been and always will be. Otherwise you will spend a lifetime waiting."
-finally) have you not realized for yourselves that everything that is posted here, is the death of it. I scour these forums for technicalities. I read whole threads to change my perception of infrastructures. Looking for easter eggs that other developers leave in plain sight yet incognito for other developers to find. These are a saving grace, because it preserves the method.
In conclusion, I have my own hand crafted methods that cannot on the surface appear to be spammy or scammy. Because I figured out that if you keep your method out of the front end. And manipulate with your own personal methods, it becomes invisible...To everyone except for the spider-bot-crawlers that are looking specifically for those methods which have been leaked or discovered by the server. I could release a bot, or a method to you guys. But there are a few major concerns with that. One, we would need to encrypt and obfuscate the discussion of it. Or omit certain phrases that only humans can guess. Two, every bot I have written for myself, is a dynamic script(I change them almost every time I use them to compensate for server side changes). I would also need to implement an update system, and I would have to test my bot at least twice a day to keep it functional. Now do you see where this starts to become a full time job? I don't like treating something like a full time job, when it isn't selling or there are more problems along the way. I tried selling a script on codeclerks and it got removed for violating facebook corporations privacy by mentioning it in my description. This was very frustrating for me, I do very well on sites like turbosquid because of the fact that they take a cut. They use that cut specifically to market your items, they want to get paid too. websites/shops/stores/hosts that don't offer this or don't have current clients are a complete waste of time because now all they are is a portfolio host that you can share your link to but can't increase SEO because thats on the host. If you are going to sell outside of a list, or a hosted store with its own marketing team. Then you might as well start typing ->$ sudo apt-get update upgrade install apache mysql php... And have an evil master plan to get over 20,000 back links in 30 days without getting black listed by the google spider.
I have a lot of skills, online and offline.
Really what I would like, is to be able to have a conversation and to bounce things off of others, just to see what they say. Without being accused of being named jimmy, needs help tying shoes, and that I'm begging to be spoon fed.
I'm a developer not a hacker.
Developing and blackhat are the same exact thing. White hat is hiring someone to do it so you can wash your hands of it like Caesar. However development and hacking are not the same exact thing. They use similar tools and concepts, but the mindsets between the two are polar opposites. When I am day dreaming in machine code, I'm always thinking about improvements. When you have always been a developer, its very hard to get your mindset right to act as a hacker. I have literally crippled entire websites by trying to run a method on it. I'm talking about big websites that have a system with a loophole I found. I can run a loop and watch my exploit work and then next month the business is down and doesn't come back. So then I make some art, and sell it, and run undetectable methods that give me just enough of a boost without knocking them down and making it so I don't have that boost
Those of you who are questioning my exaggeration and such, are either just talking crap. Or whole heartedly do not understand my posts. Both are okay, I laugh at both of you. Shit talkers make me chuckle and so do computer illiterate peasants that are using a computer.
