Well, open information isnt always good! In fact, its not good at all.. and beside, its not as if the scene didnt have any experienced 3ds modders yet..so pm is the way you should go! No need for fame if your main goal is to build something worth.
As wulfy said, they moved to PMs.. wich is a good thing to avoid BigN patching more flaws... its not a coincidence that BigN keeps on updating their shit eachtime yellow8 or smealum release to much information.
Open information is only good if the scene is just starting to grow.. wich isnt the case now, its already established enough to find potential devs.
