Now there are a lot of such forums on the internet, but I'm only going to recommend one. Hackforums.

Hackforums

What is it?

It's just one of the many hacking forums on the internet. It is an extremely useful resources with a huge load of threads and a tremendously large and considerably helpful community. Not all of them are that nice to newbies/ beginners/ noobs, so be prepared to be ignored if you ask stupid questions. Also, it is well moderated and has certain rules to be followed.

Etiquette

Posting Etiquette of Hack Forums

1. Post in the correct category. Read the forum descriptions if you are confused.

2. Use good grammar. Basically start sentences with a capital and end it with punctuation.

3. Don't double post. That's when you post one after another instead of editing your existing first post.

4. Don't cross post. That's when you repeat a post in multiple threads or categories.

5. Create relevant subjects for threads. Shit like "OMG" for a subject is immature and asinine.

6. When posting content from another site, credit the site; use quotes and link to original content (unless it is a competing forum, in which case you shouldn’t be posting the content).

7. No "Post Here and PM me" threads will be allowed. This includes "Post Here and I'll PM You" or any "Post to PM" threads.

8. Be kind to others. How hard is it not to be an asshole?

9. Act like you're older than 16 even if you aren't.
