May 1, 2009: HackHunters has been growing steadily over the last 11 1/2 months and includes our web site, forum, several videos on YouTube, a small but growing membership (must register on forum), a growing tutorial database and other help.

We continue to recruit our 1st level HackHunters HunterBeans (people who wish to help), testing our web site, digital and other tools, and, establishing relationships with other Anti-Cheat efforts.

Our goals are varied but centers around the ordinary gamer. We hope to provide them with a place where they can gather, get help, learn something, be a part of a positive environment, contribute to help others, encourage yet others to not cheat, and help administrators of game servers create a better gaming environment.

By encouraging fair play and not cheating, we hope to help young adults start their life in a positive sustaining way. Ultimately, helping them have a positive impact on their own community.

To date we have strong affiliations with PBBans, TheCheatPolice, AdminRequest, BustedPunks, RespectedAdmins. and have established relationships with 2 new organizations, gCOP and HaloGuard, who are just coming on the scene. We have also strong relationships with other Anti Cheat Organizations to varying degrees but support all equally here at HackHunters, and have reached out to help many other Anti Cheat Organizations in a variety of ways.

If you wish to help, please consider making a donation. Many of our members are too young to make financial contributions, so it leaves this burden up to those who believe that the world can be a better place, and want to build that world one person at a time. Please help.

The HunterBean Young Adult Initiative has made steady progress towards realization. It's goal is to provide a place for learning computer skills to those who can't afford it, and at the same time offer video gaming as an incentive, with the confidence building that goes along with both.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:

HackHunters has established many satilite nodes to get our message across to the ordinary gamer:

HackHunters @ YouTube

HackHunters @ XFire

HackHunters @ PlayList

HackHunters @ GameTracker

These sub-sites are important in spreading the Anti Cheat message. Many commercial gaming sites give young users the impression, by 'offering cheats' that cheating is okay. It is important for our youth to understand the difference is what should be called 'user tips' and what actual cheating is and what the consequences of cheating are. We are there to help them understand the difference.

The Forum:

The Forum is a place for people to help one another. We have built many solid categories including the following:

Computer Technology; Tutorials: Game Previews; Definitions; HunterBeanSOUP (a discussion of new ideas in the AntiCheat fight); Useful Player and Clan info; and, our ACO Directory.

VIDEO: Our video program covers a wide range of topics, mostly centered around having fun, is a small building block towards building skill and confidence while sending out a positive message.

GAME ON! is our program to encourage gamers to play on protected servers and to support clans with positive attitudes.
