I love it because you guys deserve more exposure and this is a step in the right direction, if you can keep providing great content and expanding and getting better and better. My thing is what the hell happened to WES??? WES didnt want to sellout? or what? You guys should make up, if theres a prob and bring him on board! Hes a legend in the game too!

I’ve seen the first two episodes of Season4 on Rev3 and so far so good. I like seeing you guys working hard to provide great shows as usual. Also, very cool to see Louderback post a comment to all the fans of your show. It shows that his concern is really just the opposite of wanting to change your format, instead wanting to keep it the way it has been, which I feel is very similar to what Rev3 dropped off their lineup with the loss of The Broken (For obvious and understandable reasons I won’t explain a.k.a. Get some n00b lube if you don’t know why). So very happy to see you guys are backed by the best tech media company out there. /Gratz

The flash video on the rev3 site looks very bad. But other than that congrats I guess on the new acquisition.

Hak5 is a great show and so is BSOD. A thing to note is that BSOD has much respect for Patrick Norton and even took the time to interview him (episode 7). Patrick currently hosts at least 2 revision3 series.

If Hak5 ACTUALLY starts selling out and starts becoming a bunch of corporate assholes, then I think everybody should start complaining then not now.

And a real good show, I have to say ! It is always the danger, that commercials might influence the kind or the content of a show. Maybe to make it more popular to get more visitors or just another kind of visitors. But IMO, I think, if the hak5-team are not agreeeing to this, they are free to quit with Rev3 and making theire own way as before. I think, Rev3 is knowing this option as well, and as Rev3 does not want hak5 to leave, they will not change anything.

So I do not care about any changes in the future.

And I am looking forward to see the next episode here in Germany soon !

Cheers

Jim speaks the truth. Hak5 is still the show ya’ll watch, with some spiffy graphics and new sponsors. We’re still doing the totally pwnage 1337 hacks and mods. Let any of us know what you like and don’t like. I’m just joining the crew, so tell me any constructive critisisms you may have with my own performance as well as our signing with Rev3. We love feedback, good and bad, and we’re making this show for you guys and ladies!!

For anyone who’s worried.. we aren’t telling the Hak5 guys anything at all about what to do or how to do it. We did work with them to create a new graphics package that I hope you’ll like… and we think the show would be even better in HD. But beyond that we’re letting Hak5 be Hak5. The show is great, we’d never bring it on, and then try to change it.

So don’t worry! Hak5 is great, we’re just hoping that together we can help the show reach a wider audience, and bring in more money too.

But let me know if you have a problem with anything that happens – jim AT revision3 DOT com

I don’t get why all of you have issues with them joining Rev3… All Rev3 will do for them is market Hak5 (by selling ads), encode each episode, and distrubute each episode. Rev3 doesn’t have any creative control over anything.

I understand why you may not like Rev3 shows, but Hak5 is staying independent.
