Every little detail contributes to the community. If you really think about it, some stuff wouldn't be out there if it weren't for us. For example the CON resigner. At first when I joined the community, it was such a big deal. It was leaked, people cried because they have no lives and care far too much for a corporation that can care less about them. What happened? People got over it, almost every program has a resigner in it now. Would 90% of programs have it if it weren't for us? No they would not. Dark leaked the source on the forums, and even people looked up too took it (they will deny it) and enhanced it to rehash better etc. Things happen just stay on top and soak in info and you'll be good.
Nope, only the transfer cable or something along it's sort (Xport, xSata, etc.) Although there is a free way which I did mines back in the day. Take apart the HDD with a torx screwdriver. Take the HDD from the casing. Open your PC and hook in a SATA data cable and a SATA power cable.
Reach will probably not be a boom for the site. Halo is becoming "old" with people anymore. When I first joined this site it was when Halo 2 modding boomed. I was amazed at the tutorials and the site. I stayed. When Halo 3 came out I started really becoming active. When the first talk of the CON resigner was around, I was flamed by a higher member for asking for it. I was such a noob looking at other's tutorials on how to mod things. Then back in 09 I was creating programs for others to use. Some loved me, but as you know, haters come from that. I stood my ground just kept my thing going. Recently, there has really been nothing new. But I want you guys to really know this: This site brought me to who I am in the modding/gaming world. If it wasn't for iBotModz I would have never learned about hexing a file, modding games, programming etc. What I say to you people is this: Learn, learn, and learn. Listen to every thing people say and you will one day rise to be a leader in the community. I really wish this wasn't the way it would go. Hopefully we all see each other on a site in the future if things go bad. You guys are great.
