I'm going to make this short as there are a lot of opinions here and time IS valuable!
1) Xbox-scene rocks as does the modding community, i.g. THX, Team Jungle, C4Eva, Iriez, FrostyTheSnowman, just to name a few and the list goes on....
But in addition to these names are the ones whom help create the community, in short, the users. I'm a faithful part of this community and happy to be a user who always wants to share/give my part.
2) Tons of work has gone into the research and development to create the tools, firmware, etc. to help the community achieve all the great strides which have taken place!
3) Give credit to where credit is due. The creators/developers of such work are definitely due!
4) The community are comprised of mostly users, who are in sorts, a large beta testing team and it seems lately, want a free ride always looking for a hand-out which costs them zilch.
Money is getting tight for everybody across the globe and the ones reading this thread are no exception.
5) This community is a type of Robin Hood society in where we all are "the poor" expecting to receive gifts from "Robin Hood", the as it were savior, giving us the way to an easier life.
6) Users should be helping the modding community by giving what they can to the further its growth. Users cant just take and take without ever expecting to contribute something. Users, you need to put up (money, any amount in a contribution), or shut up. Especially those whom do this for a living, flashing many 360s in just one day
.. These individuals DEFINITELY need to contribute monetarily.
THX, Team Jungle, C4Eva
..for all intents and purposes, you are our Robin Hood. Robin Hood never did it for capital gain but for the need of the poor. The big brains, programming experts, technical savvy persons of the teams should be doing it for the glory, not the money.
And Users, you need to contribute something (money donation)!! With out your Robin Hood, you
.we would be no where!
Ok. It wasnt that short but I had to share my feelings.
Peace,
