| You call us assholes, what has almost fully been the efforts of myself, YuYu for provided a bunch of files for the xbox community. And Yes, you are right, we do ban extrememly stupid people from the channel.... kinda like the people that think that alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox is a website.. we try to restrain ourselves, but sometimes the stupidity is overwhelming and out click mouse ban fingers get the best of us and we slip and a clickedy click click click. |
Ban people for extreme stupididty? The website I was refferring to was the www.alt-bin.com that is the base for the newsgroup, and info for all file transfers.
My instinct when I read your post was to check mIRC. I have never used an alt binary before, and I just wanted to learn what it was (if you search google you won't find crap), I have no way of learning unless I find out. So I go to the forums and I ask them where I should start. They say just type in !list. I try it, having trust in common deceny and I was automatically banned. I got back, ask what happened, some completley different person tells me to you have to trade, thats how it works, type in !list server, the guy sounded sincere... automatically banned. I got back, somebody says sorry about that, try this... banned for a while. They were all different people, and they all sounded sincere. I mean common, I didn't spam, I didn't say "wAT d0 I dooo??? Tell me, I wan f1l3z!!!!!111 gim333 gim333." All I asked was where do I start.
I've been all over xbox-scene past month and people have been extremley nice, and Ive gotten lots of help with MXM, and I found preview videos from your and yuyu's ftp and I THANK YOU for all you help and tutorials and whatnot, but these people plain and simple were being assholes, the honest truth. Sorry if I lashed out on your entire group, or you and yuyu but these people I came in contact with were not nice.
So before you go out and say I was exulting extreme stupidity, maybe I was just new to this stuff like many are and looking for some simple direction. And maybe these people were just being assholes. Ill stop before my overwhelming stupidity gets the best of me. I don't know, I don't even care anymore
Newsgroups have nothing to do with mIRC. You need special access to newsgroups, either from your ISP, or from a 3rd party site.

Thats USENET right ?
Yes, Usenet is newsgroups, or rather newsgroups are a part of usenet (but usenet is commonly called 'newsgroups').
I use http://www.news2me.com and http://www.easynews.com (Look at "The Usual Places" for more details)
Yesterday, I downloaded all 487 preview videos (1+GB worth) from news2me. I pay $10 a month flat, and although they state limits, I've NEVER been charged overage (in fact, I talked to their tech support a while back when my account was cancelled - the cancellation was a mistake, quickly fixed, and he told me I was their longest-running customer
)

Damn I wish I had BroadBand
Yeah, thats what I've been doing, going to MXM files and dling from yuyu and @slayers (??), but it has been working great. One video at a time, 3 slots at a time, but it still gets the job done. Thanks for mxmfiles though, its great.

2 questions (cos i'm a newbie .. sorry)
1) How do u use the preview videos?? I mean what do i do after downloading them??
2) cant seem to download from the www.alt-bin.com website.. i see the files .. but cant seem to click on anything. |
I'd like to help you, since you are a newbie, but I don't want to help you, cause I never said anything about uploading them to ANY website, I also never mentioned anything about www.alt-bin.com... so since you are pulling that out of the air, there is really nothing I can do to help you.. cause anything I try, you will pull more of you own information out of the air.... can't help you... sorry...
Was'nt that kinda "hostile"?
Well, thanks anyway for sounding off. I understand clearly.
If you want to download them
Goto my site - Xbox-Skins

BlaZed,
Just so you know.. UnleashX in the next public version (test version already supports) will support either preview.wmv, preview.xmv and MXM_SS.WMV...
so MXM users won't have to change the name of their preview videos...
Also MXM may (and I belive will) support preview.wmv, preview.xmv, MXM_SS.WMV and MXM_SS.XMV... in a future (possibly the next) release...
Am doing smthing wrong?
BAD mistake on my part ... forgot to reset the menu cache.
Thousands of apologies .... and a big thanks for helping me out on this preview thingy. Way cool......

Got about 30 off xbox-skin (great site thx) and will be loading them up tonight
As a recent convert to MXM gotta say thx to BJ for a totally kickass Dash - now can we say bye bye evox
