My Apology to GBAtemp, & my Introduction.

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. :bow: 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.

Hey wait a minute, I may be pimpled faced and a teen, but I'm not... uh... what was that third thing you said?
 
theres actually not much to apologize for (yes, cheating others is a bad thing but)
we're ALL (ok, most) pirates here
and we download games for free

and its ok to feel a need for belonging
but if you hang around here often
it becomes natural

oh and welcome!

[quote name='Hehe Moo' post='1480127' date='Oct 20 2008, 02:13 AM']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"

I guess I don't like them as much as I used to, sneakers are more of a hobby, some people see them as life, I know people who buy 5-7 pairs of the same shoe (Air Jordans) and dedicate one room in their whole house just to store their shoes, and they never wear them. The room is temperature controlled too and each box has a silica gel pack to keep moisture from turning the sole yellow. OCD much? lol. I used to go on this Australian shoe site, rareairshoes.com, they used to always have shoes that were sold out everywhere, but the prices are pretty expensive imo. I buy what I like, and I wear what I buy.

Idk, I guess the posts were sort of...harsh. They toyed with my mind I'm telling ya! I'm just trying to save up for a new laptop because this pc is simply too old. 256MB of RAM FTL, and I'm a Senior in HS this year. I've seen your videos on YouTube, I wish I could do reviews like you, I'm HELLA scared to talk in front of the camera like that! Have you seen my video yet? I just have one video up, me and my ancient R4. I haven't seen any other tempers on youtube...
 
It's OK we all have tried to scam someone. :ph34r: Once I tried to get this random girl to pay me $50 for softmodding her PS2 :lol: .
