Well....I don't think I was breaking any "rules". Okay. I'm too stupid to know what all this is about.

Actually neither did I and I think my opinion matters just a bit more.
No rules were broken.

@DXR88
Etiquette and rules are 2 different things. Believe it or not there are still some people when on the net follow netiquette. Shocker isn't it - not everyone is rude and hiding behind their pc on the internet.

I didn't realize posting an opinion wasn't allowed here.... The point of your post is what? Besides increasing your post count?

I was joking if it makes you feel any better.

As you can tell humor and text don't always mix .......

I mean think about it - people who come across aD and see posts of members getting on a new member for from what I can tell no reason at all. Who wants to hang around or post at a site like that? (it's a rhetorical question).

Well that's a bit obvious :D (see what a diff the little emoticons can make :) )

Anyhoo I'm all about fun just not at someone else's expense.

BTW homesick check out some of the threads in the dvb forum - there are some active ones over 100 pages

Now on that note the thread can continue on it's merry happy course :)

Nope you didn't break any rules! What you said should have been clear for most people, but there are some people that need to read it a few more times to understand it.

What you said is Perfect! So if any noobs are asking about being banned, they should just look at what you said, cause for a noob, they could understand that!

I have modded 360's, cause I really don't care what M$ does. Again, I've been banned before, and it was because of a game not patched properly.

So seriously, all you noobs that look at this thread, use some common sense, and think for a minute!

I'm thinking of getting an XBox. After reading through this thread my conclusion is if you intend to get on Live then stay away from modded consoles and backups. Who knows? You might be unlucky and get banned within the first month. And then you'll have to fork out for another console just so you can get online. Not very cost-effective. Of course one could get lucky and "survive" a few years. But then you'll be apprehensive each time you log on to XBL, not knowing when you will be banned.

So I'll stick to a "genuine" Xbox for the time being. When I'm sick and tired of Live I can always mod my console then. Besides, Xbox games seem to be much cheaper than PS2 games. And making backups of PS2 games is so much easier and straightforward. So it may not be worth modding an Xbox as opposed to a PS2.

Just my 2 cents.
EDIT: Just realized that binkie7 has come in the thread, and said quite a bit before I posted this... Sorry for being too late :(

@neoquon
Yes you can stay :) It's refreshing to have someone actually READ the thread instead of just asking questions w/o making any attempt of research on their own.

@DavGerm4
No worries :)

when was the last time you signed onto live? the reason i ask is cause you said you didn't use it very often.
1) if you used it recently then i'm surprised you made it past the november ban wave
2) maybe you were flagged a long time ago and this was you first time signing on and then got banned.

no i meant, i never used live gold service. mainly just silver i've signed in for 4 years. i made it past the November wave.

ah well i knew the risks when i modded but still it was fun while it lasted. Lolz at you MS took you 4 years to get me.

i've said before it doesn't matter if you use live, or stay offline. the system itself records mini-logs and store's it in the internal Rom which can store Billion of these logs before it starts to overwrite the oldest ones.
