    List of people i have personally recommended the game to and purchased it entirely thanks to me:
    Action MOV
    EnglandMassacre
    The One Darron
    iKs Cambria
    iKs Gunslinger
    Invisibl3slay3r
    J3DImindTRX
    Magicjunkie
    Sabin33
    SuperslayerXXX
    Thomas A Hawkk
    Velourium07
    Zel owns randms
    ABU IS SICK
    JeffReinvented
    Almost Emo

    Percent of total Private Matches in the game history hosted by me: 90% +

    Numbers of random friend requests from people i dont know who send it to me after i destroy a pub and join my party chat and ask me about the game, usually annoying little kids but i humor them so they dont get discouraged: 100%

    People ask me tips and advice, advice and a playstyle i developed entirely on my own that was basically crippling against enemy teams for about 3 weeks, do i keep it all to myself so i can have an easier time winning and boost my own ego like everyone would assume? No to better the community as a whole and encourage an even and fun competitive environment, i basically give away my entire playstyle on every class to anyone who asks it, because i honestly feel it's the best, so while i am arrogant, egotistical, whatever, im giving out the best advice there is to balance that out. On top of that, i take another great veteran player in shammas and we dedicate our time to seeking out players to help and improve.

    People send me hatemail, do i flame them? No i backhandedly challenge these people to show me what they have in private matches.

    "Add me if intersted in MNC Private matches and playing against better competition. Go to the Uberent.com forums and be part of the community. Want help improving at MNC? send me a FR. Originally ChRoN1cLe." - taken directly from my xbox live bio

    Friends List on an account i spend 95% of my time on MNC: 100/100

    Support that Uber has given the Xbox360 community in the last year: none

    If you think threatening to close off this section of the forums or start banning the most influential members is going to somehow improve your status as a company, you couldnt be more sadly mistaken. Whether it is the mods or whoever is leading this brigade of "fvck the xbox forums" thinks keeping it clean of our teasing and trolling and having fun with each other and these "no more 360 forums" is the key to a successful business for the xbox branch, you guys need to seriously open your eyes, because some of us should be on the payroll for how much we have done for your game and its community.

    I think it's more a case of Uber flexing their muscles and letting us know these are their forums and they don't want to have a reputation of having the lunatics running the asylum. The men in white coats have turned up, administered a few injections, put on a few straight-jackets and possibly calmed things down. I've directed loads players here but they are put off by what they see as a community of trolls, not knowing that most of the trolling is between friends having a laugh among themselves. I don't like the fact that the noob team thread got trolled though. We should ALL encourage new players and teams and turn this back in to the thriving community it once was.

    Remember when oxy team was around? Basically chron is doing what they started to keep us forum people intact. When was the last time uber had a community game night? When was the last time uber decided to join a game and try and stomp some players for lols?

    Whens the last time we had a good moderator here?
    One that actually plays the 360 and knows alot about it.

    Why does anyone care if we have a so called "good" moderator anyways. In terms of quality and size of the 360 forums I think Jessep does a fine job. It doesn't matter if he plays 360 or not, halfof a moderator is what we deserve honestly. (And I mean that in the sense that he is a Super MNC moderator primarily, yet still checks up on this section.)

    One to represent this section of the community for one. Also it cuts down the moderation time jessep has to spend here. Never said he's doing a bad job at all.

    Jessep is doing a good job but he must tear his hair out with the amount of locks/deletions (is deletions even a word? :) ).
    I still want to know what's happened to Stretch. And how come Hudsons name is still green? I haven't seen him forever.

    We don't need that much representation.

    Ok, look.

    Uber needs to

    - Talk to us and start work one one big final patch.

    - Revalue with MS and be the first F2P on xbox.

    - And make time to play with us.

    - Also take Off the steam requirements to make a new proflie. [Just saying]

    Then we will be back where we were about this time a year ago.

    After six months of going back and forth with a certain publisher, we had enough of absolutely nothing happening and decided to focus on Super MNC on PC. We can't control what we can't control.

    Going back to the moderator issue... this is meant in no way to offend Jessep. But he doesn't play the Xbox version of the game. Does that make him a bad moderator? Not at all. Does that make him out of touch with the Xbox community? Definitely. It's not a matter of representation, it's a matter of having a moderator that is part of the community, and if not a big part, at least someone who plays the same game. Jessep is a PC MNC/SMNC player. To repeat my earlier point, it's not that he's a bad moderator, it's that he may not always make the best decisions in a forum for a community he is not part of.

    I may be one of the most active members here that doesn't play privates. And as such, I don't direct people to play private matches when contacted after pub matches. But if someone friends me, if someone asks me for help, I'll help them in the best way that I can. I've directed more than a few people to the strategy section of these forums so they can read the guides posted by people who really know how to play this game. And yeah, at some point I'll go pubstomp with them. But that just leads to more friend requests and more messages, and the cycle repeats.

    Now, all that said, I do think the 360 forums could do with a little less trolling. I'm guilty of trolling too much myself, but it's the community as a whole. It's hard to tell people to register for the forums and become part of the community when I'm almost certain they're going to be trolled out of here. But it's not like these forums deserve to be shut down for it.

    I have seen Teapot do his absolute best to organize privates and keep this game alive. I have seen Jon take a break from his playful trolling to make serious comments and add insight to issues no one else could have come up with. And even while Snarf and I may not be the best of friends, I have seen the effort he makes in promoting discussion, especially on the finer points of private match strategy. And all of this happens because of these forums.

    Do I think these forums should be shut down? Absolutely not. Do I think these forums make Uber look bad? Again, absolutely not. What I think these forums show is that Uber created a game that has developed a small, but devout fan base that continues to play this game even today.
