LMAO. Wow, I can't believe how people, despite having such a clear statement, just read what they want to hear.
Most of us do try to be as nice as possible - the rest has chit-chats with the moderation staff when they cross the line. Everyone's welcome on GBATemp.
Exactly. Same a Wii U "hackers.". People claim hacks but won't release and say, "You hack and make an sdk and maybe we will release.". Where did real hackers go? New gen is watered down?In other words, "we used the widely available resources to get to the point where all the other hackers have gotten to and we're not sharing anything because we don't support hacking the 3DS or using hacks", no Gateway alternative available anytime soon, no custom firmware, nihil novi, case closed.
Mods are not fair. "Off topic" =ban while many are involved. A guy wished death on me by fire. They cited private messages as well. People can be mean but the discipline has hardly seemed fair. Some also flame bait but the baiter, master or novice, lmfao, usually gets a pass. The scene died for current gen. Carts and odde(s) are "it" and then you get garbage like GW bricking. Pirates charging for theft? Not hard to figure out why people are angry.Most of us do try to be as nice as possible - the rest has chit-chats with the moderation staff when they cross the line.

They're still real hackers - they hack things, that's what defines them as hackers. Releasing hacks is not a hacker's duty in any shape or form, especially if it's done for sport, for the heck of it or for personal use. The community is in no way entitled to demand someone else's hard work - all I was saying was that this "development" changes nothing scene-wise.
Are you implying that the modchips and flashcarts were ever any different? I don't remember witnessing a flashcart and modchip rain, I was under the impression that you had to buy those... I wish I did though, I have plenty of retro systems that need modding. As for your adventures with moderators, I'm willing to wager that what you're describing was someone's morbid sense of humour rather than malicious intent.
Again, not attention whoring, sharing results. If you don't care for posts hackers make about their work, don't follow them. Nobody is standing over you with a loaded shotgun - it's your personal choice to get all worked up about this. Your plan to avoid this kind of threads will do you good.
Reign, lol. Only real error in your post. Auto correct error I'd wager.They're still real hackers - they hack things, that's what defines them as hackers.

No, no, no - I meant a literal rain of modchips and flashcarts - modchips and flashcarts spontaneously falling from the sky... so that I could acquire them for free.
A number of useful things were done - smealum worked out the encryption and system title format, there's a ROP launcher available, a set of tools to compile code... everything you need for basic homebrew.
