Is The Banwave Over?
« on: November 22, 2009, 02:36:00 PM »

Are there any new bans still coming down?  Not really interested in people who haven't logged in two weeks and have found themselves banned (because you could of been banned a while ago), but more or less people who go into live frequently and only today found themselves banned?

it seems to be quieting down?  or maybe there's not a whole lot of unbanned consoles left?

Considering we now know the firmware can be indirectly detected, I wouldn't consider it over until after a new firmware is released.

doesn't matter weeks ago or not, its not like a guy sits behind a computer banning people all day, they probably have an algorithm installed on an XBL update telling them if the machine is hacked or not

well yah it kinda matters in regards to my original question?  Have they stopped banning people?  The previous years they only banned for a fixed period of time and then stopped.

If Microsoft had banned him a week ago, but he hadn't attempted to login, how do we know if he was banned a week ago, or if MS is still currently issuing bans?

So with historical precidence of fixed periods of times for banwaves, its very relevant to know if the banwave is over.  (Unless they've switched to an xbox1 banning style, where don't use banwave's, but just ban on the fly.. which would also being useful information resulting from knowing when the ban occured)

You do need a pc running the xlink program.  It actually works best if you have both the pc and 360 on their own lines to the router.  see the guide.  Then post any questions there.
