Also forgot to mention with a dev u dont have to copy to the kit or even burn just emulate it and it cuts down the time and makes it even easier.

I'll cover the big points:

no game released today doesn't have a valid ss/stealth. no need to verify, that's for nubs worried about getting banned.

just because the kit turns on without the sdk does not mean it's usable. no xbox neigborhood/xlast = useless kit

no one cares about what you think about sdk. stop with it.

 

Ah, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about ripping discs that you actually owned/had in your possession. I didn't realize that you were talking about more warezed/pirated games downloaded from the Internet.

As for the second point, again I must apologize. You once stated that you knew "a lot more" than I did about Xbox 360 hardware, so I naturally assumed that you were aware of all the things that could be done with a kit sans SDK. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of the Xbox 360 hardware knows that even a bare kit is *far* from useless.

Lastly, I, like many others here on the board, are here to share knowledge. Unless you have a moderator tag by your name it isn't your place to tell others to "stop with it." Stopping discussion defeats the point of the site. While you may consider it dead due to the lack of a Microsoft forum, the vast majority of us do not.

With regards to the SDK, the big concern is the target that this paints on the back of the site, especially when it is warezed copies of the SDK being sold. Microsoft may not be willing to throw down over a few random kits going about on the secondary market, but it is a lot more likely to unleash its fury on a site that appears to condone the sale of pirated development software. There is a reason why no major site on the Internet allows such a thing. That is why it's such a big suprise to see Kev allow it here.

No offense Hawk, I know you're mentioning people like me, but I personally don't care much for the Microsoft section gone, just a shame others missed it, and on the contrary, I find this one of the worst places to sell a 360 devkit anyways.. Never sold anything here, but my point stands that it shouldn't be banned.

If you ban dev sales, that's fine, but I disagree strongly.

 

That's great, as the forum does have some great posts.

I do think people need to remember that being a member of any forum is a privilege and not a right and that prople should be less arrogant in saying the site is dead, or I've never sold anything here anyway..

 

Ok, Kevin reopened the forum. Let's all just leave it at that please.

 

Thanks Kev, I am glad you changed your mind, I seriously hope posters follow the rules from now on and don't frustrate things for the majority of decent users here.

Welcome back Microsoft :nod:

 

Very nice. And cool to see moderation is stepped up now.

 

mh, i can not post in

 

should be fixed now i think?

 

fixed. Maybe you can delete 2 post in the driveflash thread. Don't know why it wasn't shown the first time.

 

Thank you!

Let the good times roll again :020:

 

Great news!

 

A quick suggestion:
Somewhere in the Admin CP there should be an option to enable something where if a user posts two posts right after each other within X time frame, then the posts will be merged. I'd recommend setting that, so that moderators don't have to manually edit or merge posts
