Hey, what's going on in this thread?

Bump because I still miss this place

Some folks are still here!

Back in 2004, why the hell did I pick this user name?! And I some how became the moderator of the Music forum, man that was a busy job

I'm kinda new here but I tell you one think some of the mods posts are high has hell lol.

Was an interesting place back then, cherrio and all those other guys getting banned and trying to run a forum on some guy's home connection to rant about this place...

Anyone here still use their xbox? My 1.1 is running great.

I use it for XMBC, it's the only thing that don't crash on me lol, PS3 crashes all the time, and I don't care for streaming with the 360.

same here

I just hooked mine back up and started playing Splinter Cell. Ahh, memories.

Yeah I still have my v1.1 going because it's the only thing I can play NHL Hitz on lol.

So who remembers the fun time we had when a forum member (Bubba I think?) stumbled on a stash of big screen TVs for a killer price? I remember getting ready with a few thousand dollars ready to by them up.

<- Posts to see when he Joined

I really cant remember, I lurked for a very long time...

2002 checking in

very long time ago...

Had good times here back at xbox 1...HSdemonz..give aways, guessing the city Xantium lived in...

It's been a while. I think I would classify as an old member right?

Hello to all new and old members probably the best community I've been apart of since joining the internet back in 96

hmm lets see

Whats happened to the site?
no updates for ages what going on?

Also always lurking!

Something's not right. People have asked a couple of times, but the topics get closed with no straight answer (usually with a link to another topic and there's no straight answer there either).

Yep, very strange.

At least some of us are still around lurking, but I got no power to fix the problems.

Hopefully soon..

TTYL

Been around a while, sad to see the front page not working as it used to......

Whats going on? Nothing. Ok. /Grabs coat

I remember the old days, in fact I recognize a lot of these people as people I bought and sold from. I remember buying complete Xboxes at the pawn shop and parting them out and trading for all kinds of weird things. I remember some guy selling straight razors and having a good business go of it. I also recall when AppleGuru got raided and the fallout he took from that. There was someone else too who had made a water-cooled X360, I think he may have even been a mod, but he was selling backups and got pinched.

I also remember a lot of the old mods and how cool they were on one hand, but incredibly strict on the other. You played by the rules and you were good, you didn't and they let you know. Braham2 used to be my personal favorite, Shanafan was awful cocky, but he got the job done.

I have always wondered why after all this time X-S doesn't purge all the banned accounts or unban them like was done at some other sites after a period of time.

I'll take my chances saying this but I incurred the wrath of HSD, we had gone back and forth about a few things and I made a couple open comments about my disappointment with the direction the site was taking, especially at the first advances in X360 modding. I stand by my feelings then and I still stand by them now. We went from a site that was 100% don't discuss piracy, etc to new developments about how people could play their copied games and discussions about where to get games to copy. etc. I said I wasn't impressed with C4E's work because it hadn't gotten to the root of what I felt X-S really wanted, which was an open system ala the original Xbox. (We finally have that now which is why I'm back, I'm curious if it's time to hang up my original Xbox and move forward). 100% confident I was banned for this. Considering this took place probably 4 or 5 years ago I like to think I'm okay to share this. If I wake up banned again, I guess I know why.

It's sad to see the news page updated so infrequently now, heck, the forum still doesn't allow searching. If I was new looking for something, I'd skip this site entirely just for the lack of knowing what useful information is out there and new information isn't updated.

Closing thoughts here, I don't believe X-S is any sort of moneymaker, it's big, time consuming, and falling behind. I would really like for it to be passed onto people with the time and effort to maintain and bring the site back up to its old glory. I feel like if that doesn't happen in another few years there won't be an X-S.

Something blue has returned....

Memory lane...

Sweet...maybe we'll get some front page action again....

Yep, slowly -- plans are in motion. - Old timers unite to bring XS back to its glory!

I have been in discussion with Xantium tonight, and we have a plan that we will roll out shortly. We intend to keep XS running independently.

As you might have noticed, I have resumed my spot as admin. I'm looking for volunteers and suggestions for people who can post XS news to the main page. The pay is lousy, probably nothing at first.

Other than that, the king is back and I'll be looking around the forums more over the next few days. Please be patient with me as I reacquaint myself with XS. I have been gone a long time.

The blue bastard admin of Xbox scene has returned..

the plan is in motion...

yo

I think we have a creeper winner!

Though you were long gone, hehe.

Oh yes, the good old Xbox-Scene days. Why did I only join in 2007 and not post in the forums earlier? :|

I was creepin' for awhile before joining. Not old school, but been around a few I guess.

I still come back every once and awhile to see what the kids are up to these days.

Get off our lawns!

I just can't believe how calm the X-Scene Forums have become over the last years. I mean, even in 2009 or so, there was a lot more posting action going on here.

...... zzz.....

This is the oldest forums account I have and all you guys are putting me to shame

Nice to see you guys still active. I don't have as much time to post now but I still mess around with my old consoles at the weekend. And come back here for information. I recently managed to get hold of a broadband adapter for my dreamcast, it's nice to play Quake III online on it. I have started buying old games again, because new games are quite expensive and with rent bills to pay. but all my old consoles are still in working order .

Steam rocks for games on the cheap.

In 2004 I was 14, I'm 23 now. This place was huge for me back then, I really think taking my xbox apart, painting it, soldering and chipping contributed greatly to my career choice. I'm now a industrial designer and thinking about what case mods I could do with my works' rapid prototyping machine makes me drool.

I'm quite sad that this place is quieter than it was in the glory days but thanks for the memories

A thing I don't remember is why I chose this username, I think I was going to paint a zebra pattern on my xbox.. hey I way 14!

You had a vision of the 'future', or you are secretly working for M$.

All the devkits from M$ for the next XBOX (aka) Xbox Loop, Xbox Fusion, Xbox n3xt, or just plain Xbox, have a ZEBRA pattern on their case and controller.

true lurker ftw
