Anyway, on with my little story,

We were the 3 who revived lifetaker. I had not say in publicly distributing it because I was still a 'noob' coder then. But I was strongly against it. I believed in the fact that 'exclusive' hacks should not be distributed publicly because there will be people who get all crazy about having a 'cool' hack such as lifetaker, they will abuse it like crazy and get it detected.

Contrary to what you guys hear, coders like me absolutely HATE people that go in and randomly OPK everyone and hack so blatantly. It is the main reason for our downfall, the detection of our hacks. Because hacks were meant to be used to have an advantage over other players, not for who think its funny to go in and OPK everyone. Because if they do that, Nexon will know about our hacks and it will get detected.

But as I rose to a tier 1 coder, I realised I could live off those people, the ones desperate for hacks. I completely recreated my hacks, ran a small team of coders who help me out and turn hack making into a profitable business. I started out low again, $10 a month for hacks. Then I got more experienced and charged $20, $5 below rival hack sites.

But then my hacking days were over when I knew my hacks had affected my friendships. I took the website down, wrote up my letter of resignation and handed my website down to two members of my team. As of today, they are still running the website, but making less and less money because they're stupid (no offense) and release everything publicly when everyone begs them for more features.

My hacking days are over, I was once a renowned Tier 1 coder, but I do not make hacks anymore. I still keep in touch with coders, give them advice and see how things are going. But I haven't touched my Visual C++ since 2012.

People still know me and admire me. But I would never make hacks again.

I still have the knowledge, I am still the only person in the world who has the address to Lifetaker (So if someone decides to piss me off again, it'll be passed on)

So right now, I'm acting as a liason to the hacking community for the CAWiki. I'm not a bad person, per se, its just that I'm an ex-hacker. Besides, I was the one who recreated and rearranged the hack section of the wiki.
