New Way Of Being Banned?

BTW raiders, how do you know the EEPROM you got was unbanned? And, MS has not banned accounts yet, and seriously, they never will. They want us to buy another Xbox just for Live.

BUT, if someone tried actually into Live and were somewhat successful, MS would probably link the IP with a gamertag, and may cancel their account. But playing on Live with a modded Xbox doesn't mean you are hacking into Live

What if you're playing on LIVE at your friend's, and he has a modded xbox. You are running your account from your memory card. You go on LIVE and you forget his modchip is still ON. It wouldn't be fair for you to get your account banned when you were playing on your friend's modded Xbox, so I don't think they will start banning accounts, wont they?

I'm such a dumb ass.  I put in the wrong name in account recovery.  My real name is Nathaniel, but I have been called Nate since birth.  I was putting in Nate instead of Nathaniel lol.  I am now back online.  I wonder what that updat did.  Who else got it?

Live always has updates it seems. They make you download them when you sign on to Live. I must have encountered about 6 since Live launch

I was wrong. The update he referred to happens when you select "Xbox Live" from MS dashboard. This is a new update and probably sets up W code on Xbox perhaps...
