BiNPDA - why oh why?

BiNPDA. Now for the laymen among you, let me explain who BiNPDA are. First, picture a phone. To the phone, add an operation system that allows you to do with your phone, that you can do with your PDA. To that kind of phone, make a lot of great games and useful applications. To the applications and games, add a group of people who refuse to pay for them, and would serve the games and apps cracked to the community of other fans.

Over the months Ive been on the Symbian scene, BiNPDA reached a demi god status. They've been there to crack the original N-gage games, they've been there to crack next gen N-gage games, they've been always there, to crack anything worth cracking. Everyone loved and respected BiNPDA for saving hundreds of our dollars, euros, or whatever you use to pay where you are. One week, no releases came out anymore. And the next week as well. Same as the next one. It's been about half a year since BiNPDA cracked an N-gage game and I ask, what the fuck is up, guys?

There's a lot of gossip around the topic, and here's what people say and what I think about it. Some say BiNPDA got pissed at ipmart.com, because they messed around with their uploads and claimed them to be their own, which resulted in BiNPDA not giving their releases into public anymore. If you know ipmart, its just the kinda forum everyone hates, except for their members. They're huge, they have a lot of ads, and I bet their main admin got hella richer thanks for all the ass fuck you have to take for being there. On the other hand, if BiNPDA were mad at ipmart, wouldnt they simply hack the shit out of them? Thats VERY common among smartphone forums, and NO security is tight enough. And BiNPDA is the best of the best.

Second version says that theyre busy with their personal lives. That is nonsense, as whole group at once wouldnt have real life issues. It leads me to the possibility that there might be some inner conflict in the group, which resulted in end of the group. But then again, wouldnt they carry on and crack solo, like for example Illusion does? (respect for Illusion. Youre the man, bro.) Id say odds for this to happen is 50/50.

The last rumor I stumbled upon is what we saw on Aivanet some time ago - Nokia found them and told them either you stop, or we fuck you up. Thats kinda possible, although I wonder how could NOKIA find a hacker group.

And what I think? BiNPDA got HIRED by Nokia, same as old legend of the scene (whose name and nickname I already forgot - shitty memory). He was so good, he hacked successfully all their security updates and made everything possible in the realm of tied-up S60v3. What did they do? They didnt sue him, they hired him with a huge fucking salary. Thats not an urban legend, he actually commented about it, thanked his fans and apologized for leaving them on their own. He was a legend indeed. And BiNPDA? I wouldnt be surprised one bit if Nokia hired them to work on new S60v5 security.

You will be missed, bros.
