this forum is useless , we want isos not blablabla crap
Well thanks for the FEEDBACK! We had the site shutdown because of illegal xbox 360 game links before. So no, no isos.
Thats not right. We didnt have problem with pirate issues. When we changed XBP to TGS that should been fixed. We shut down because of CS had some problems in his personal life. And didnt have someone to take over. At least thats the official story.

The REAL official story goes quite beyond that, but truthfully there were a lot of reasons why XBP/TGS had to close down, many of which we will never fully know as CS himself made the final decision. I have never had a problem with that as he was the Administrator, and had sole responsibility of financing the servers. In short, he could do whatever he wanted with the sites. He owned them. Literally.
Personally, I was slowly starting to move away from the Scene just before he consulted the Mod team with his intentions, and I was pleased that we all had a genuine chance to put in our thoughts and suggestions. Besides all of the offers to maintain the site by taking the financial pressure off CS, I knew it was never going to happen. It was a bold move to then open that consultation to the rest of the membership, but it did show how much high regards CS had of the Members. I was also pleasantly surprised to NOT see a riot through the threads that followed! It showed how the members had formed real connections with each other, and it was obvious that they were genuinely upset to see the site go. But it was equally humbling to see their acceptance and appreciation to how far the sites had came - they felt they actually owned the site, not just belonged to it. Which they did, they made it what it was, and they probably will never fully understand how much they alone made the sites what they were.
The Mod team alone facilitated that cause, they were oridnary members with extra responsibilities. No more than that. I always tried to make sure that I never answered members with any sense of authority, which CS respected. Although I admit he always seemed to have a much higher tolerance of BS than I ever will! lol
I believe CS chose the perfect time to call it quits. The site was well ahead, perfectly sized, with huge potential. But LT+3 was the last CFW released. All the support for any game released since could be found in the already full threads explaining how to get games up and running on their consoles. There was really nothing left to be done, except update the links when new games were released in the Scene. The XB360 itself is becoming more increasingly redundant and eventually will be archived as a legacy console.
It was an honour serving being second in command alongside CS, and we had had discussions before as to my own "rank" and whether I should keep it due to me concentrating on study and work/family, etc. He was always adamant that I was the right person to do the job, but never pressured me into it so I was happy to help out whenever and wherever I could.
That aside, he was a very private person, and any personal details he did disclose to me shall remain so.
However, I have no doubt whatsoever that C4Eva and the TX crew will at some point crack the XB One and we will be back to where we began with custom firmware, etc. Forums dedicated to such things will always live and die alongside the consoles they are linked to, and this includes XB360ISO. This is not a dig at any forum in particular, and the guys running each one will know exactly what I mean. They will more than likely have had extensive experience performing moderating roles on many sites, and not limited to gaming/console ones.
As the saying goes, "The King is Dead.....", well you know the rest!

Cheers.
True so true, all Xbox forum around are almost dead now adays. Because its nothing new on the Xbox end. Of course we have different games and so on comming out but thats not enough to keep people there. People will have mods and so on. Hope CS makes a comeback one day with the site. Also i hope he did take backup of my account
