my story and how i felt
i joined this site on 07.07.2004; 12:06:01 and solved around 20 challenges..(javascript and logic) and got stucked
At that time, i got 0 knowledge on exploit, crypto, stegano, programming, crackit...so i can't do any of those challenges...and i left this site..
after few months, i get back on this site, and stared on the crypto..and did my first crypto challenge..that feeling is nice..i think all(most) of you feel the same way when you solved a challenge which you think is difficult..
so i got hooked again for some time, solved another 20-30 challenges...feeling great
and then, i got a pm from clarken..
at that time i don't really care about ranking..it is just that i am facing more and more difficult challenges and getting really frustrated when i can't solve them. I really wanted to learn, so i thought of simply getting the solution and try to understand what people talks about in the afterward discussion...
so i traded some solution with clarken..and i felt guilty
i am not trying to defend, but i learned alot in the discussions, i solved more other challenges on my own..after the many pms
after the first few pms, i tend to pay more attention on the ranking...and soon i developed a bad habbit
around 20-30 of my solved challenges were from clarken...and 20-30 challenges of clarken were from me.

i feel so guilty on what i have done..
i now make a public apology to all TBS users
and i will delete my account and reset score..and do every challenges myself...

finally, a big thank you for eric and theblacksheep for providing such a nice site for us to learn
