My Apology to GBAtemp, & my Introduction.

[quote name='JDMEVOIXMR' post='1479773' date='Oct 19 2008, 07:03 PM']I just want to publicly apologize to the GBAtemp community for not being the honest, better member that I should be. A few days ago I posted a thread about how I was selling an acekard for $150 to some unknowing woman that wanted to purchase it for her daughter. I advertised the flash cart on craigslist as having 60-70 games and useful homebrew apps. On the thread I posted, I received several replies telling me that I was a hypocrite, despicable, and wrong. I struggled with myself on this for the past few days, and now I see the wrong I've been doing, downloading pirated games and selling them, making a profit when the developers didn't get theirs.

I also want to apologize to that person I messaged, in hope of making a new friend. I read the posts, seems like everybody here knows each other, I want to part of that too.. And an apology to thieveslikeus, for being so indecisive about what shell to make my DS lite too.

Well, I never really introduced myself here, I was lurking for some time until I finally joined last January, but my name's Justin. I have a Zelda DS lite, a white DS Phat, a Wii, and an acekard. I'm also one of the lucky ones who were able to purchase a Cyclo DS from DX for $35 and receive it. I'm on a few other boards too, like niketalk, toyotanation, mostly car forums and electronics forums. Let's just say I have a very broad interest, I like cars, Nintendo, anime, Japanese culture, sneakers, photography, music, engines, and so on. All I have to say is, I love this community, I love how we tempers always think outside of the box, I was very surprised when they were able to hack and translate M3 Sakura to English, and how it is now possible to play Guitar Hero without the guitar grip. I just hope this community accepts my apology, and accepts me for who I am, I feel really bad about what I've been doing. I'm only human, I'm far from perfect, but I can say, I'm glad I'm on GBAtemp.[/quote]

you are a sick man u know that, people will forgive u but you will always be a sick man

not nice

Good to see that you realized that you're making too much profit on stuff that doesn't belong to you. Lower your prices! Welcome to GBAtemp, enjoy your second chance

Don't feel too bad, not the worst thing you could have done

i enjoy a good philosophical discussion

ROFL

Everything sounds good to me. I just hope you don't start crazy threads like that again (to not offend others, not me. you story sounded funny). But anyways hope you like it here.

Reminds me of today's Family Guy. I don't remember the title, but I like to call it "Back to the Fuehrer".

(Ya' see, it's because they go back in time to nazi Germany and it's riddled with Back to the Future references)

Bah, nobody gets me.

It's called "Road to Germany"

...but your title is better.

Do you Americans really like sneakers? Cuz that was really random: "I like cars, Nintendo, anime, Japanese culture, sneakers, photography, music, engines, and so on."

Lol.

Anyways.. welcome. Again. And yes, in time.. you will be forgiven. Unless you are Hitler. But I never knew Hitler came with an alias of "Justin"

xD

You've change for the better. But it won't hurt to earn a few bucks i guess.

Do not be so fast to judge.


He said he was sorry, that is good enough for me.

Man now you make me feel like a dick.

Welcome to GBATemp though!

The problem is he charges people for a service that they are too stupid/lazy to do for themselves?
People are buying pirated games - they know this is wrong. If they want them free let them get them themselves.
that said, id never do that

Everyone changes, even beve is less annoying now.
As long as you start fresh and nice and keep walking that path, its all good.

Lol, you got yelled at by a bunch of kids on the internet for selling pirated games? How is that your fault? If the woman knows what she's buying from you and that it's illegal, then so be it.

Lmfao.

The woman would have been happy with what she was getting anyways. Why so serious?
Some of you need to grow up a little, people buy things for cheap, then sell them on for a big profit. Thats how life works, its how companies get buisness. How much do you think it costs mcdonalds to produce their McTastlesswhitefilth Nuggets? Then they sell them on for £2 ($4) for 4 over here.

hmm, personally, I don't see the problem, you are charging for your service and advertising after all.

just be prepared to get a call at 1am from an angry mother complaining about it having stopped working/her daughter broke it

I agree with Jasonage. It's not like you held a gun up to the woman's head and said "Hey, if you don't buy this flashcart from me for 150 bucks I'm gonna blow your brains out". You bought something cheap and are selling it for a higher price. That's NORMAL. That's how you make business.
