ya, this has caused quite a storm over at HBO, thanks for making a post about it here. It's just ridiculous. Not only is it stealing, but he's stealing something to associate with modders, cheaters, and other no-good-nicks. I'd rather him use the maps for a class project then this. AND he has the gall to charge money for the maps, this man, has gone too far, hope he gets what's coming to him...

I would move on this right away, the legal and justice system has not caught up to the Internet in terms of speed. You want to get this guy shut down as fast as possible to prevent him from making any money then skipping off.

Man, either this guy is an idiot or has huge balls.

This make me laugh. You should see the forums. Flooded with posts of random spam, or highly critical nastyness. I think his site has be shut down (overloaded) 5 times now.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I've passed the site on to Major Nelson who is the head of XBOX LIVE.
I'm hoping he can contact the MS legal department about the Halo 2 aim hacks and other hacks on the site.
I'll let you know what he says.

Commenting on Chewy....yeah, almost all the posts on his forum are now spam...I think he just cleared his entire forum blank...

Hm...he mentioned here that Mothergoat reached an agreement...is any of that true? Does anyone know?

Heh. Remind me never to tick HBO off...they've got quite an army...

I think his forums have been broken by someone who has an automated registration thinger. He did have a conversation with MG, but there wan't an agreement.

LOL, entirely true. When I first hopped over there yesterday, there were only about 60 members. And within a day there were 13966 members.

Check the revised page out. They finally gave The Goat some credit.

I've gotta say, I'm amazed (and truthfully, impressed) at how HBO and the entire Halo community in general responded to this. Although I can't officially say I support the measures taken, the feedback this issue generated is, quite frankly, astounding.

Something to chew on, though. If Jon has generated this much negative and widespread feedback about his business and his site, would ANYBODY buy his "products" and "services" from him? As awareness increases, his business decreases as more and more learn the truth about him. Basically, what little business he had to start with would stop completely because of the widespread awareness generated.

I'm still waiting for an answer from MN on the legal side of this site when it comes to hacking Halo 2 and such.
I'll let you know when I get a response.

BIG, FAT BUMP...

Jon of jonsmodding is claiming to be back up and running soon but this time with an international host. Frankly, Microsoft should have little trouble shutting him down again. I don't think he realizes that.

If you see his site up, simply help out the cause and send two e-mails reporting his fraud for selling cheats and using copyrighted material without permission. Send this info to h2cheats@microsoft.com and another to piracy@microsoft.com with jonsmodding.com in the subject line. If they get several within one day, their attention to the matter should be just as swift.


Keep an eye out and report him when he does come...

Good.
Will do.
Also, if I see it back up again, I will send a link to the page with Halo 2 aim hacks and other hacks on it to Major Nelson who is the head of XBOX LIVE, and he can pass it on to the legal department there probably to get jon's ass sued. :)
