Thanx people... I feel welcome already.

-The Rules are read and understood. (except for the do not troll-rule, wtf is that... trollig )
-I've been hammering away at the search button for two weeks now, so I know how to use that one, and I hardly ever need to start a new thread on forums.
-And I'm sure both the reading and picking will be "happy" as this is really interresting.

Trolling:

v. intr.

a. To wander about; ramble.
b. Slang. To patrol an area in search for someone or something

[helix]

I thought trolling was sending out a message that
is obviously going to offend, with the intention of starting a
flame war.

That's what I take it to mean.

[Mad Mick]

The term 'trolling' originally came from fishing, where a baited hook is drawn through an area containing fish, in the hopes of getting a 'bite'.

Since the act of posting provocative messages, to induce a responce, is pretty similar, the term has been adopted by users of forums.

I've been interested in lockpicking since around middle school and read up as much about it as possible. I didn't really get into it though. Now, about nine years later, I decided to finally really start.

I found this forum and decided since so much great information will be available, it'll be easy to get started. I ordered the MPXS-14 set and they arrived today. I picked the Kwikset doorknob on my door that we don't have a key for (after, of course, turning the lock in the incorrect direction).

Thanks for making/maintaining this site.

Hi,

I'm Boris Barowski (internet nick, no need for real names i guess )
I live in Belgium, I'm 17, studying economics - math

I don't really know a lot about lockpicking, but hope to improve it with this forum
(yes, i will use search before making a new thread,
i'm a moderator on some other forums and know how frustrating users not doing that is)

I hope to learn a lot, and above all, have some fun

thanks
B.

Sorry about not posting an introduction on my first day.(yesterday) I got so interested reading all the different forums.

Anyway... I'm a locksmith in Toronto, Canada. Started when I was 18. I am now in my 50's. It's a great career if anyone is thinking of getting into it. (except for the car work in the winter)

Lots of great stuff here. I've read some really clever ideas from members that seem to be regular folks(not locksmiths). I guess it takes someone like that to "think outside the box" and come up with innovations that lock manufacturers never thought could be used to defeat their products.

Keep up the good work mods...

Yip

Hello everyone,

I'm a hobbyist lockpicker from Louisville, Kentucky and I've been lurking around these forums for quite some time now. I've posted on here before, but it was kind of a long time ago so I thought I should reintroduce myself. btw, I love this site. There is a huge wealth of information buried in here and all of the people seem friendly and eager to help. So I would like to thank all of the people who keep this site going strong, you've really helped me a lot.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Hi There! I spent this weekend in Vegas @ Defcon and checked out the lock talks. I found them to be very informative and this site was mentioned as a leading resource for information. I hope to learn more about this interesting hobby
