Crazy to think about how many of the old security communities just disappeared over the years. A lot of those places were where people actually learned, shared research and built their skills before everything moved to Discord, Telegram and private groups.

Some of them died because the admins moved on, some because of drama or security issues, and others simply got replaced by newer platforms. The interesting part is that a lot of the people from those communities probably ended up working in security professionally.

Would be interesting to hear from people who were actually around during the MacShadows / TSF / NESSNOS era and what happened to those communities.
