:agreed

But, does this afffect any Tuna?  Joshie, have you been banned?

[Turbo-Tuna]

I would expect anyone here to not use their main account for this sort of thing (and not in an online race at all). I would go so far as to unplug my system from the network if I were to experiment, and use a PS3 user that doesn't have an associated PSN account on my system. People should know that this was coming.

What exactly are they talking about here?

What exactly are they talking about here?

The use of hacked/modified cars in game.  1000hp VW beetle just ain't right.

Glad they addressed the situation.

I think Wizard may have mentioned it here once and there are a few threads at the planet. I was a bit worried PD could not track these changes to cars.

I still wish we had more room host controls. It would be nice to allow certain parts at times. For example a transmission change would make some muscle cars usable at times.

The modified cars ranged from the ridiculous 100,000hp or more, tire shredding, "car body on an Redbull X2010 frame" to the more realistic engine-swap types (like putting a V6 in a Mk IV Golf to make a VR6 Golf equivalent).  All of it, no matter how small or realistic, involved modifying the saved game data which is against the rules..

Hacks are bad m'kay .

I'm only concerned with what Destinkeys has to say about it.

I recognize the name from the deathstar, and I think he's a notorious shit talker.

[Boston77Bruins]

Destinkeys has been around for years.  Hangs at the Deathstar.  Has lots to say.  Never raced him.

Does he like the hacked cars?

[PKR_Cipriani99]

No stinkey doesn`t like them, as soon has it happend he wanted PD to threaten the hackers with a ban.

Raced with him once in Charlie`s open lobby as soon as he entered he started to tell Charlie how he should run/setup the room.

From a bystander, he's terribly entertaining to listen to.

That's just too funny.
Can I get off my knees now?

It took a bit over 1200 posts there for him to get perma-banned from the Planet.
He is working on a bit over half that at the PSN.
