Hacking Quick suggestion for when the 3DS DOES get hacked...

[boot2490]

when it DOES get hacked, whenever it may be, I suggest that GBATemp makes a HUGE deal out of it, like, changing the theme, sending out an email, plastering it all over the site... cause it's been a really long time, and it just gets more and more depressing to keep coming and checking every few months, with nothing new. I would much rather be happily surprised by it some day than to have to keep checking. It wouldn't be hard at all to do, either, if Bob Joe were admin of the site he could probably make a mailing list without having to bat an eyelash first. DISCLAIMER - I have limited knowledge myself about how webmastering works, and this claim is based off of my prior experience with other computer things so please excuse my ignorance if it would actuallly be quite difficult. Just a suggestion.

It will be front page news atleast... And maybe Costello send out an email to the members, but I doubt it.

Until all the hype backfires and Nintendo become aware of the situation, blocking all 3DS's with a barrage of firmware upgrades and then cruelly updating the eshop with epic snes virtual console games. So noone wants to take the risk with the exploit... and yeah dumb idea.

Changing the theme? Why?

O HEY GUIZE LETS CHANGE THE NAME TO 3DSTEMP

The suggestion is ridiculous.

And spamming people with emails about hacking is just not a good idea.

Oooh when it gets hacked, I'm pretty sure it'll be very obvious. Even if GBATemp doesn't hype it up, someone else on the interwebz will.....
