What's happened between ps3news and Team M33?

I'm just wondering. Either the guy who runs it is some kind of bad person or Team M33 just doesn't like him. I think it's the former, judging by what's said. I wonder if it had something to do with the universal downgrader/unbricker.

 

Reason why I ask is that I'm not sure if I'd hand my PSP to someone who was a bit angry over something. Dark Alex is no longer in the PSP modding scene, fanjita's out now, so the options for custom firmware are getting a little narrower. If this keeps up, Sony will win the war without ever lifting a finger.

Apperently, the admin of the ps3 news site had a long history of taking

other peoples work and modifying the credits to make it look as though

he had been the one who had created it.

 

When he started doing the same with team m33's firmware realeases,

they used some kind of encryption on their latest custom firmware which

would cause the data written to the psp's flash chip to become corrupted

causing the psp to "brick".

Team m33 included a warning with the custom firmware which stated that

the firmware would brick the psp if the code was modified in any way, but

the admin of ps3news ignored that, removed the warning, and changed the

credits anyway.

Well, it wasn't long before people started complaining about their bricked psp's,

but the admin did nothing about it and even left the modified firmware up on the

site for 24 hours knowing full well that people were killing their psp and even going

so far as deleting warnings and rants from pissed off people from the forums.

 

That's the jist of it I guess.
