So apparently I signed back up in 2009, woah. I guess I can I feel bad now that my first post could possibly also be my last.
It was only pure chance I saw my email, it was even in my junk and I'd have never normally read it.
I've had a quick browse around the site and it seemed like it'd have been fun. I'm going to continue to look around whilst I still can.
If anyone ever wants to hit me up on skype do, my screen name is: thisREEL.
Or if your on Se7enSins my username is: heXdz.
Hope to speak to some members soon

Sad to see the site go

[PowerSQUIRRELY]

I remember joining this website 4 years ago. This is my first post... yeah, sorry for not being very supportive or active. I was only interested in Action Replay content for the Xbox. All the downloads you had were too complicated for me to even figure out.

Sad to see this site being closed. :S
I haven't been active here but this site helped me a lot with its tutorials and cool programs to download.
Bad news !

[xXTacoGuyXx]

Well, it sorta sucks that this site is closing. I have been a non-member and sorta lurked around, but yeah. Even while being a member, i still havn't been active due to stuff in the real world. Anyways, this is sorta sad for me, but in a way it isn't.

Peaches --

Being my best friend in real life and all, I've already given you the mushy sentimental crap that people on here are doing, but I think this would be a great chance to re-iterate it.

You are the reason that I am interested in anything related to computers. I remember when we were in middle school, and all of a sudden one day I came over to your house to play xbox and you showed me this crazy thing called modding you learned, which gave you the ability to change stuff in Halo 2. I knew so little about computers that you had to show me how to use the file explorer. Now I'm at MST learning shit about computers on my way to a Computer Engineering degree with an internship after my freshman year. All thanks to you and your perseverance about learning something new.

You've shown over 20 THOUSAND people what a computer is capable of doing and given them tools they otherwise may not have. That goes so far beyond technical experience and something you can put on a resume.

I can tell you right now, IBM isn't done. It's still got a ways to go, but no matter what ends up happening, other people and I will ALWAYS remember what this has given us.

I respect what you've done and where you will go and look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks.

Everyone else --

I really respect all of you that have given me part of the knowledge that I have today. I may not have been very active on the site, but trust me, I read your posts, and I knew who you were. I heard about all of you, and I'm sure some of you would be surprised at how much you're brought up in conversation between me and peaches.

I hope some of you saw this message and continue to be active. Though school is very time consuming, I will do my best to help out with that as well.

God. Losing this site feels like Im losing my very own child. I remembered staying up days and nights trying to learn how to mod both Halo 2 and Halo 3. Using the good ol' export 360 tool from Codejunkies in order to dock my hard drive. Fighting over the first resigner and having people actually sell them to people when we can get them free. I remember seeing pictures of snowhalla when Halo 3 was in its prime, thinking I wanna do that one day, and being turned down cause I would need a dev kit when now we have J-tags. The sligstorm conspiracy if he was actually a real modder or just stole mods. And one name that stands out the most is SmokiestGrunl. Hes the one who got me started on Halo 2 modding, this guy made some amazing tutorials and unlike people now a days who just shib shab tutorials on how to mod and asking them for help, they just ignore you and wish the best. If you pm'ed this guy he would tell you how to do it. I swear there was no other place better than iBotmodz to go for your modding needs. As it was my first modding site, it was also my favorite. And among se7ensins and Xbox360-tampers (when they were in business) it was also the most user friendly. So long to such a great community, Im gonna miss occasionally coming on here to get hit by massive nostalgia. Shout out to khaosmaster or bigkillerjoe whatever you name might be now haha. It was fun guys.

I remember those days, although I haven't completely given up on the 360', it's pretty much-
Get Jtag
Make Lobby
Invite Randoms
????
Literally Profit.


I mainly went to PC again after 360' went mainstream, just so I could relive the fun of-
This seems right...wait a second...ABANDON MOD!!!111!!!
'OR
Hmm let's just see what hap...that was awesome.


At least with minecraft I got to learn two new languages JAVA, and YMAL & Json Formatting (Server.)

^It was also modding that made me pick up Microsoft .net, and HALO Custom Edition.

Just got reminded, I actually got into modding Halo at 8 years old with Halo Trial on the PC
10 years old for Halo 2 modding (Joined iBotModz)
15 Years old now, still here, and now shifted my interests to physical modding (engineering stuff)

[gruntmods]

Why talk trash about one of the fallen sites? It's like kicking a dead dog...

Did you see what they let it become? I was friends with some of the mods, and many of the members (still am), and the admins let it crash and burn. This site is worlds better.

[yungbol]

Wow, what a post and sum up of my whole "internet childhood" was like. I remember trying to hardmod my xbox1 and completely failing at soldering being like 12 years old. Getting it right being a noob h2 modder. H3 comes out and for some reason I strived to actually be known in this era. I learned some c# for a few months and started developing half ass applications but somehow some of them were pretty good. I would just give pointers around and I remember being flamed for trying to get my h3 maps resigned when I first started to hex edit.

Then it all changed when I released Darktrap (H3 usermap) before the resigner was released and became known and then started releasing more. Started programming and trying to help out. Then everything got so difficult and too secure and taking 1k to buy a dev kit etc. I just sort of lost interest in it due to the expenses.

But man I wish I could go back. I really do...

Dear iBotModz goers,

It has been a while since I've even brought this site to mind. Even though I may not have left this site in the best of ways, (Hint War with Dark Slipstream), we had some memorable times.

Such as, anyone remember, "ALL U COMP R BELONG TO EPSILON," or hell even me mistakenly calling T3A an "Asian Asshalo"? What about the "Wanted" pictures? Even though I took some crap from the staff it was yet another instance where we forgot about modding for a minute and just had some fun.


Even though modding is what originally brought this unruly bunch togather, we each at the end of the day, took home our own deeper sense of meaning from this site. We all had our place amongst each other here. Whether it was a ney guy in his learning period or Spargy smarting off to someone in the Chatbox, we all knew our places. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that this site was civil, we had everything from serious talks about religion and politics to the occasional guy freaking about zombies or wanting a flying warthog in Halo 3.

Regardless of how this site slowly began to dwindle away into nothing, I believe that everyone gained something from this wonderful community of Modders, Jokers, Noobs, Idiots and just plain asshalos.

I personally enjoyed the short time in which I roamed this site and hope everyone else did also.

It's a shame to see this site go,

R.I.P iBotModz.net

Sincerely,

Jeehs

So many cool and nostalgic faces. It's a very weird feeling inside :'(.

[EHNJ]

Damn, I remember first joining this site...I saw it decline and then just forgot about it, honestly. This is the only forum left where my username is EHNJ, too.

Edit: And I still have a link to Team Mr Kleen in my sig, HA!

I remember you, but I don't think you remember me. I'm still friends with Leering, Oracle, and Slig and a lot of other members.I agree that the site was great at first but eventually went downhill. I wound up offering to buy the site from slig but he declined. I even strated a new XBT website but by then everyone already gave up...

[gearsm]

it kinda hurts that today was the first time i logged in in years, not because of the email but due to the fact I remember this site from when i was a lot younger.
I used to lurk constantly in 2008.
Now I come back on my first day to find this.
Sad.

Ya, I remember you, and to be fair, most of the other members went downhill with the site, such as leering and CLK.
