WARNING: Beware of the User HOOK aka HOOKAHICE aka CrystalBoy

[Root Admin 7749]

We do not usually like to make posts of this nature, but after careful thought, I am making this announcement abut the user @HooK aka Hookahice aka CrystalBoy.

This user "Hook" was recently banned from this forum after he was found out to be a seller of cracked software (mainly industrial software).

To gain access to forums where such cracked software is available, he would go to any extent to shower praises and even put down the staff of other forums. He claimed that he purchased a home in the USA last year (2021) and so he needed to sell the cracked industrial software to finance his mortgage.

After this user HOOK was banned from this forum when he refused to stop selling the cracked software, he started to badmouth us.

Just to show everyone how HOOK used to praise us just a few months ago, I am posting some screenshots below.

Note that HOOK praises the MANAGEMENT of this forum and not the actual owner of this forum (so it is immaterial as to who actually owns the forum, even for those users who choose to believe rumours that TechLord could still be owning the forum).

 

Here you can see HOOK praising the administration of this Team-IRA forum:

 

Another post showing HOOK praising Team-IRA forum and the way the things are done here (BEFORE his ban, obviously):

 

Here you can see HOOK put down "Vietcode" (a moderator from the Board4All forum, who now nicknamed himself as AK47):

 

In other words, this is a warning post to show that the user HOOK will go to any extent and say anything in order to maintain access to reversers and forums where he can get cracked software to sell from.

DO NOT TRUST HIM. HE WILL BETRAY YOU ONCE HE FINDS ANOTHER BETTER FORUM.
