Like I said in the other thread, I think the public header banning acted as a deterrence for anyone who owns either flashcart. There's a crazy amount of people who dropped out of the 3ds flashcart market for fear of getting banned.
It's not the final solution by Nintendo to destroy piracy, but it's big enough that I think they'll stop for a while and revisit it if 3ds piracy becomes a much bigger threat again.
Remember, you guys here are educated. You guys here in gbatemp, in maxconsole, etc... sky3ds or gateway.... have more knowledge of flashcarts than the "average owner" of those flashcarts. You guys are "safer" than the other guys, because you guys are aware of the latest technological exploits, advancements, and preventative measures. If you guys have read all of the horror stories behind Nintendo's bans and are still here, then I think you guys should have nothing to worry about. You're all brave to be in a thread talking about the future, chins up, beckoning Nintendo and saying "Look, we survived your bans. What else do you have?"
