Anyone know what does the '+' sign (first char of the cracker nickname like +ORC or +HCU) mean?

I could be wrong, but it has something to do with them being fraavia's students.

Sometime ago (couple of years to be more accurate) an 'institution' existed which held the name of 'High Cracking University' a.k.a HCU. The students who belonged to the HCU had an optional '+' attached to their nickname either as sufix or prefix. To enter the HCU the potential HCUker had to pass an exam called 'the strainer'.
Those were my two nostalgic cents

Thanks, Guy! Now I'm Clear.

So, who is the +HCU owner? Is Fravia?

Dear,

Dear,

the HCU owner was a hacker whose nick name was +ORC. He dissapered from scenes years ago.

.D.

The HCU didn't have an owner, tho it had a founder. To some degree it had teachers, but onely to some degree. The term was rather loosely used, more than it covered an actual teaching institution.
