The Hackulous community shut down: Stakes and Opportunities.
since december 30, 2012, following a set of threats and pressure from Apple and others unknown reasons, the famous platform targeted for jailbroken Apple apps and devices , has decided to go away. However the reasons advanced from Hackulous team, precise that:
“We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down.” “After many years, our community has become stagnant and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff. We’re incredibly thankful for the support we’ve had over the years and hope that new, greater communities blossom out of our absence.”

For those you unfamiliar, the Hackulous community is well known among users
of jailbroken Apple devices plus its direct connections with Apptrakr, one of a
huge web-based index of cracked apps and Installous: software which allows the
installation of iOS software found via Apptrakr and elsewhere.
‘’Installous is installed on millions of Apple devices such as the iPhone
and iPad and was the key way for people to transfer pirate apps to their phones
and tablets. However, following the Hackulous announcement the app has been
rendered completely non-functional, apparently disabled by the Hackulous team
that controlled it.’’ Has mentioned TorrentFreak.
Pending to know the major key of issue, we can note that, the sites were
apparently healthy and still had plenty of users.
