Let me get a few words out, I haven't been speaking about this issue as it is really not important to me. I have never seen a person act so immaturely as Butterballer360 when I informed him that I was going to drop him. Neither has anyone else for that matter, including Clay at QJ (who we are now in good terms with) or any other webmaster.

Now about the 'hack' team. Butterballer360 self-initiated such a 'team'. He self-promoted himself to 'admin' status for the team, and changed his user title to "PSP3D HACK TEAM ADMIN" himself. I was never involved with such a 'team'.

And for those of you thinking that hack team was for real, then you are quite wrong. He enlisted nearly every single person who replied to his thread regarding the team. I attended 2 of their AIM chats regarding the hack team. It was completely useless, and nothing came up from them except some pretty pathetic OT conversations.

As for releases. Butterballer360 has never made a working release for the PSP. He somehow got himself in PSP X MAG and tried very hard to explain the process of the GTA hack to the interviewer, and the information he gave out was extremely flawed. First off, he claimed to take part in the hack. When he contacted me to inform me that he's being interviewed, I specifically told him that he has nothing to do with any hacking/coding at all, and is not the proper person to be interviewed on such topics, especially when he uses the name of PSP 3D for his own self-promotion. I contacted Mo at PSP X MAG and edited quite a few of the things he mentioned in his interview, for the sake of PSP 3D's reputation.

One day, I was using my laptop and had no access to CYGWIN, which I have installed on my main computer in my dorm. I IM Butterballer asking for help, to have a program I was working on with Fanjita compiled. He at first states he has CYGWIN installed (once I tell him 'how can you not have it? ALL PSP developers have it'), then he says his computer is screwed up, and then he says he's downloading it. How can he call himself a hacker/developer without the simplest of tools? He doesn't even know the process to compile an EBOOT, for God's sake!

For some odd reason, from day #1 that I foolishly decided to moderator him, I realized it would end up like this. A 14 year old dragging other people into his pit of lies, trying to consume them whole with false information about me, the site, and his own reputation.

And what do I get for all of this? I brought him up from nothing to a 'PSP 3D God', and now, after I quite politely told him that I was reviewing the site's staff and making cuts, he makes his own pitiful site in which he further posts false information/chat discussions with me, and makes a laughing stock of me in front of the members. Butterballer360, if you read this, realize that without me, you would have just been another regular, immature user at the Official PS Forums. I did not ban you from PSP 3D, I simply un-modded you, and then your ego took hold, a false ego at that, and ruined me reputation amongst PSP 3D's users as an 'evil admin' and whatnot.

As for moderation in itself, I rarely saw Butterballer moderate quite anything. Some days I'd see him go on posting rampages with extremely immature behavior, calling other members "n00bs", typing in all caps, locking threads for no reason whatsoever, etc. That is why I un-modded him. He simply was not moderating at a professional level. I warned him many times via IM to shape up, and he took no consideration. Why users think he was the best mod on PSP 3D, I don't know, just more of his brainwashing tactics?

Did I ever make fun of him? No. I made his mod status departure as quiet as possible, so he could still enjoy PSP 3D as a normal user. After much threads and posts/PMs/emails regarding him, I decided only then to ban him, as he was becoming a nuisance to the site.

Now please stop all the talk about Butterballer360 in these forums. I have had enough of such talk about an imposter, a fool, and if nothing else, an attention-whore. Thank you.

Big whoop. At least it wasn't Fanjita who was banned. Butterballer was flaming quite a bit and didn't post for about a month. He also didn't moderate. He's frequently on www.themotec.com/forum though. He's a mod there at pspxmag.
