Take off the period. I enjoy using punctuation to finish sentences.
Took you longer to reply, I just got home from work.
And I am not so sure you do know how to use bit torrent. _________________ XBOX v1.6

Xbox-scene is funded by advertising, so? Nothing wrong with that, it does not depend on it's members to pay for there bills.
99% of what you do here is because of xbox-scene and there community, without xbox-scene you would not be here now. But you can't even give them a link in your link section... Not to mention everything news wise seem's to be leached from xbox-scene.
You give your donator's first access to your releases and later share it via bittorent, xbox-scene would just throw it on xbins for everyone to get asap, no funny bussiness. There download's are legal unlike yours... You do host illegal content on your ftp and http servers.
I only say that the donations do not all go towards the site for one reason. if you have 100 VIP members who donated $10, that's $1000. I hardly believe your bills are $1000 a year, not to mention you have more then 100 VIP members. So where could all the money be going.... Who knows sence there is no tracking being done or atleast being shown.
And as far as your comment about software testing, Ive did plenty of testing over at xbox-scene which helped in your projects one way or another. Ive been a member there for year's now. So sence you developed a script which is used mainly by Unleashed, you feel it is your right to charge for it? Right.....
Your just giving your site less creditbility... with usesless comments.

I say check your reading comprehension and re-read what I wrote, then don't bother getting back to me, for your argument is pointless and is leading no where. You've stated your opinion, so move on and go help someone. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

takenover why are you here if xbox-scene is that good and is your nr1?
We don't have a link to them because they ban us .
why did you even donated money if you don't want to support this site?
Look ik own a webhosting company and i know what this site forahobby costs every month . (all his own money btw and not from advertising)
Not to mention all his hard work in coding this site !
you know what , i'll even send you the 10 you paid so you can give up your vip account and leave it for people that support this site!
contact me in pm for your paypal so we can end your stay here. _________________

Your right, this is getting no where. I dont come here to argue I was just trying to open your guy's eyes a bit. No hard feeling, as I dont feel like getting banned for expressing my opinion.

You don't have an opinion. You have a slanderous attitude.
It is getting us no where.
However, our eyes were not the ones needing to be opened, go back to XS in revel in your glory there.
Enjoy using the VIP membership your paid 10 dollars for, but NOW you know you can get AID free.
I bet you feel ripped off, well at least I hope, 10 dollars doesn't kill my budget, as a matter of fact when my VIP membership is up, I AM GOING lifetime for 40...
Don't I sound like I am fucking whacked in the head??? NO, b/c I care about this site, it has a personal feel too it, as opposed to feeling like
Member #: 999999 over at xs.
Now, DJB has legitimate action to take for someone selling something he releases free AND which he makes no money off of either. , and backtracking, he puts it on bit torrent first, b/c the servers wouldn't get it any faster with 20 people on it.
So, keep your eyes open for AID 3, which will be FREE. Keep an eye on the aideluxe.com website. _________________ XBOX v1.6

Your opinion is fine. It's the fact that it's narrow minded, uneducated, is accusing the owners of the site of misusing donations without any proof and doens't see the difference between this site and others that I think bothers me. You could have said, "I disagree with the need to donate to obtain access to your servers" and we'd say cool, go get it out on the net. You could say "I think there's a better way to obtain funding for the site so that donations are no longer needed and that way is...." instead of a childish remark with no facts like "I hardly believe all the so called DONATIONS *all* go towards the site."
In closing to use most of your own words, Your just giving your opinion less creditbility... with usesless comments. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Really I did not insult anyone, why am I being insulted? I know how to use bitorrent, could give a rats ass if I ever get my name in a changelog, and I do not feel ripped off. I supported this site because I wanted to see what it truely had to offer. But I am starting regret it from the way you members are treating me, no other reason. As I agreed above, just end this as it is going no where.

Members,
All of us are Admins/Mods, so its actually worse. I bet that makes this site seem even worse, but see someone else, who doesn't own the site on another board, defend it in this way. THey just say "f#&@ You" BANNED
You did insult, I am sorry for mine, however don't post with a "f#&@ you guys what the f#&@ can you do about it attitude." if you like the site, support DJB in the fact he is trying to prevent others needlessly charged for the program on ebay.
If you did it, it would be wrong. Correct?
Don't defend the trash.
Enjoy your time on HQ. You will find its friendly until something is threatened from within the lines. _________________ XBOX v1.6

Read comprehension... so let me quote for the very last time
Quote:
I hardly believe all the so called DONATIONS *all* go towards the site.
Someone on Ebay is charging for your package that contains 90% of other peoples work, and 10% of yours. You really only packaged it up and made it very friendly. This is no excuse, they should not being charging for it. Ebay is not the way to go if you are truely looking to help people out there.
Leader(s) of XBOXHQ are charging for their package that contains 10% of there work and 90% of other peoples work. They do provide a free way to obtain it, but usually give there VIP donator's first dibs. This is no excuse, you should not be charging for it, as it contains 90% of other peoples work.
In *MY* you guys should not of forced donation just to access the servers, as many of the dev's out there might see it as you charging for there software. Maybe another way to do it is, give everyone access to servers that contain everything you did not develope, then have a section for your stuff that everyone would have access to, but Donator's get access 2 weeks earlier then the regulars. Sorry if that sounds confusing.
Now I do feel that xbox-scene should be given more credit, without them alot of what is in your packages and on your servers would of not been possible. You speak in negative way of them, sure they could do many things different but overall I feel they are doing good for the scene. I feel the same about this site but I do think you could do more.
This site allows more freedom but is lacking in the turorial area. This is important, because many members may not know of xbox-scene. So they need some direction. They really wont find it here unless they post on the forums asking un-needed questions. The FLASH GAMES are nice and all, but maybe the time could of been better spent, developing a tutorial section where members can contribute to get things moving.
I am trying my best not to seem negative and bashing the site, I only want to see the best for this community. Just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt

rofl are you blind ?
there is a tutorial section and you can submit new tutorials
as for creations of software , there are progs made by xbox-hq members
also how many guys from xbox-scene made something new?
they made same kind softmod all based on the same exploit
also they are NOT charging anybody for AID or SID it's FREE!
where do you see they ask money for it?
Vip means you get vip support , access to files , chat , flash games ,... _________________
