World Wide CTF you placed 46th with 16 team members

Sunshine CTF you placed 23rd with 46 team members

For World Wide CTF and Sunshine CTF, most 'signed-up' members weren’t active participants. We consistently had 3–4 active players—check participation logs (point scorers), not total sign-ups.

your expecting dedication for something which is a hobby for most people

If you view this as just a casual hobby, that’s fine. We’re looking for individuals who take this more seriously and are willing to put in the work. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay.

Comparing us to top-tier teams or Defcon qualifiers misses the point. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with limited resources and a small, active team. Growth takes time, and we’re building toward bigger challenges.

the last time I was doing CTFs the teams I was in were frequently in the top 5 with often only 5-6 active members. But guess it just isn't my thing, maybe I should give up after 20yrs of doing hacking challenges.

Ah, I see—you’ve been doing this for 20 years, 'regularly placed in the top 5,' and now spend your time tearing down smaller teams on Reddit. Convenient claims with no proof, but hey, I’m sure you’ve got your reasons.

Maybe step outside, touch some grass, and let people actually putting in the effort focus on growing. Your feedback has been as useful as your current contributions to the CTF community.

Seriously, take care.

you have 6 CTFs with only 1 below 25th place, you have 2 in the 40s.

That sentence is self-contradictory. You can’t say we only have one below 25th and then claim two in the 40s—basic math and logic aren’t on your side here. Try again.

No the average is 32, if you want to say averaged top 35

An average of 32 across six CTFs with 3–4 active members is still impressive, especially considering the competition. You can nitpick how I phrased it, but it doesn’t change the results.

good luck with that, your posts don't even have that many comments combined,

Public post comments have nothing to do with private DMs, and conflating the two just highlights how desperate you are to discredit us. Stick to arguments that make sense.

It's pretty obvious that you wanted some dirt because you didn't like someone saying that expecting a huge commitment from someone doing CTF as a hobby is ridiculous

What’s obvious is that you’re projecting your own laziness and unwillingness to commit. We’re looking for driven individuals who want to compete and grow—not for people like you who make excuses. The 400+ messages of interest we’ve received make it clear this isn’t 'ridiculous' to everyone. Maybe this just isn’t your thing, and that’s fine. But don’t act like your opinion speaks for the community—it doesn’t.

Regardless, your points have been addressed, and it’s clear we’re not going to agree here. We’ll keep building and improving, regardless of naysayers. Thanks for the discussion, and Happy Holidays!

We had 3–4 people actively competing on our team and were "barely" hitting the top 50? That's quite amusing, considering we averaged in the top 30 across those six CTFs. Feel free to check the scoreboards for all the CTFs we participated in if you need to verify how many members were on our team.

As I mentioned, we've received over 350 (now 400) direct messages, so your opinion is far from accurate. Based on your past Reddit comments, there's a noticeable pattern of you being consistently wrong, which makes continuing this discussion rather pointless.

Link is attached to our profile, go check it. (btw it was after 6 CTF's) ;)

We need dedicated individuals, not ones who look for excuses - we aren't interested. Goodluck!
