CyberArmy, Worth a Visit!
“CyberArmy” begins with a heavily detailed and slightly humorous trip through its history, which gets you up to speed on the site and its purpose. They advocate a self-regulated Internet, meaning an internal police system…. They have been responsible for the shutdown of almost 100 child pornographers!
Easy to navigate, CyberArmy has all of its links in the top of its page. This allows for one-click access to whatever you wish to browse. A log-in function is always located in the side of the screen too, so you don’t have to fumble around the site forever to try and login, as some pages require.
With a Army theme, the site is hard not to love. Each registered user (quick and easy to do so) gets a military rank. Beginners start out as a Recruit, and you can advance throughout the system all the way up to the head honcho, the CinC. The camaraderie between the site’s members is as palpable as the bonds that hold actual servicemen together.
The site truly is a community. With a forum to post your thoughts, and brigades to join and help fight the good fight, it is easy and inevitable that you will become immersed.
The thing that everyone talks about and sets this site apart is the “SARED” simulation. This pits you against a computer and asks you to try and use your hacking skills to beat the level. Each level is exponentially harder, and for every level you complete, you get a virtual pin next to your username: nice bragging rights.
If you don’t want to get involved in the site or test your skills, the forum and library are still a great wealth of Internet information. To do this costs nothing, not even getting signed up. The site has another perk; it won’t hound you for money. Your donations are purely optional and will not be asked for.
If that weren’t enough, the site even offers a feedback option, so that the waves of unregistered users can provide honest and anonymous feedback: this shows the site is always trying to improve and is willing to take suggestions.
