Hackulous shuts down, Installous disabled...

[Santee]

It is against the rules to say installous here.

At least that's what I was told when I last said it.

Well its dead and unusable, so we better start banning these anarchist.

That's because it was a place to get pirated materials.

Now it's not, because it's dead.

Meh. I stopped using it a long time ago. It's surprising news, but it won't alter my life in any way.

When I heard this, it was the day I was gonna jailbreak. I took as a sign to wait til an untethered jailbreak comes.

Why would installous stay up when you can install pirated apps without even jailbreaking?

Installous was very easy to install it and user friendly.

Wait, there reason for shutting down is because the forums got difficult to moderate because nobody was on them anymore?

Sounds like bullshit to me, but thanks to Hackulous for all those years of service anyways and good luck to the iOS cracking community.

So this site allows discussion that deals with piracy but doesn't allow installous to be discussed?, can someone fill me on this maybe I didn't quite catch.

Piracy can be discussed, but GBAtemp doesn't endorse piracy, nor are we allowed to post links to ROMs or piracy apps (like that link you have up there). It's all in the rules

Oh well, that sucks. Although before my iPod bricked, I had the apps I wanted!

Installous was a place to get pirated materials. We can talk about piracy all we want, but cannot name sites or give links or pirated things.

Since installous is dead, it's no longer a place to get stuff.

iDevices can't brick like other systems can. If its stuck loading or something just restore it.

There was also a power and home button combination to reset it but I forgot.

pr0-tip: giving away the name of the "new" installous-like apps around will grant you a warn.
