Hello there, and thank you for your interest in BSRF.

BSRF has a long and fairly varied history. From the embryonic stages, BSRF was a collection of acronyms in a file called acros.txt, a file which later developed into a thriving online community started by the three principle authors of the file. For a long time, BSRF has moved from place to place with a large number of dedicated and hard working staff members (and some, not so much). In the last few years, however, focus and the security landscape have changed. There are far more interesting and relevant places out there. (These are some of the better ones. Or you could just go here.)

In a group discussion, those of us who remain have come to the general concensus that whilst BSRF has been great, we don't see what continued place it has as an active site. For this reason, we are officially mothballing the BSRF site indefinitely. Whilst content will remain online, and we will continue to keep the IRC channel (irc.bsrf.org.uk #bsrf) open as a way to keep in touch and share information, with friends past and present, we do not anticipate any activity on the site for the forseeable future. It will take a considerable change of philosophy and amount of effort for the site to come back to life. Don't hold your breath!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank anyone who's ever been positively involved with BSRF, and some of those who haven't. Thanks guys, it's been fun - we were all lucky to be along for the ride.
