I download a file due to mine being lost in fire along with just about everything else I owned for over 40 years.
To my delight and hopes of refreshing my memory I see a Help file once unzipped..... No such luck. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with Xbox-Hq at all. Just the helpful contributor kind enough to add the file to the Zipped ingredients.
Instead I find this:
AND I QUOTE
">> !!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!
>> !!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all if you post questions on the forums that answered are in this
file but are offended by someone telling you to read the instructions first
before posting - then you should send a PM to a mod or admin - just so
they can reply "RTFM NOOB" or something to that effect. If you are too lazy
to read about how something works then dont be surprised if people are too
lazy to help. You dont diserv our help or time. We choose to spend our time more productive.
Hacked bios's or any software for that matter will always have a bug or two.
We can make them as rock solid as you like but there is always one common
denominator that we cannot solve - the guy who has done everything correctly
and his Xbox no longer works - so naturally the bios sucks and we should
either fix it or prepare to be flamed to his/her last breath. Hint - don't
blame the tools (and/or use common sense and always have a recovery plan)
The words knob jockey come to mind."
This goes on for roughly 7 paragraphs or so without 1 word of actual help or how to use the downloaded information. I downloaded a 2nd file from same origin. Once again a 5 paragraph version of choice name calling and abuse to any and all would be users there of.
What a sad life this person or persons must lead in order to spew their venom randomly, or possibly to our sometimes younger teens. I myself have shown my son how to modify and build custom systems and what sites to trust.
The illiterate contributor could have spent 1/10 the time to add 1 useful 3 sentence guide to spread the knowledge as intended by it's content.
I'm a big believer in Karma. It's painfully obvious he was nothing more than a "helpful contributor/poster" of the content others worked hard on...... Sooo, I'm guessing at this very moment somewhere in the world he is working for his 25 year younger 17 year old manager asking......
Would you like fries with that??????

What people add to their or other contributors work really doesn't bother me. Maybe they were having an off day, had nothing better to do or just fancied a rant directed at noobs.
I can tell you all sorts of things I've witnessed or had directed at me over the years on various Xbox forums ranging from bloody minded unhelpfulness, over-reaction to the mildest of criticism or just a misunderstood comment. Some people just have hair triggers and there's nothing you can do about it except not act that way yourself.
The fact is for every dickhead you have the misfortune of coming across on a forum or anywhere else for that matter there are dozens more who'll help and often put themselves out for you.

Some people are just dicks man. I can name several! ha great to see ya lurking the forums again man.

How are you my friend? I know, it’s been a while since I’ve really put much time in here. Good news.... I need to rebuild everything lost in fire! So I’ll be roaming the halls more often. I also feel bad it’s been so long I’ve made any contributions. I’ve been trying to encourage the new batch of youngsters on another site called “OG Xbox” or something close to that to come check things out this way. Any luck and some VIP to be traffic will stumble in. One of the only things that partially survived the fire was my old handheld Xbox I built. It’s damaged and needs complete overhaul, but maybe I’ll cement my name in history by letting you auction it off for the site after I get it up and running again. Just give me some time on it. Most of what I need survived. I even found 2 Xenium Ice modchips and 1 new in sealed pack limited edition 24K gold plated Xenium chip. It was their last Hooraa, lol.

Ps.
Is this discord thingy helping HQ in any way? _________________ XENIUM ICE 300GIG CUSTOM DVD
