Happy 1 year anniversary of the biggest ban wave in XBL history, approximately 1.5 times bigger than the 2012 ban wave where a crap ton of nice tags were banned at once. At this exact time last year many tags were all banned at once. Last year on Feburary 18th, Karen Stevens one letter "F" was jacked and swapped, and swapped again, and swapped again, and again. Personally i blame Convict for this banwave because i told him i didn't want to add anyone on F and he was like "Oh no no dude just add everyone you get a friend request from" so i did, made a video, put it on YT, the Xbox Enforcement Team got wind of said video, and banned every tag on the F/L of "F" at the time the video was recorded, got a fat console ban as well as every tag on the console was banned.
I was reluctant to add my main gamertag on F because i was scared of getting banned, but i didn't really think i would, so i added myself to look "cool", lol biggest mistake. I got back to my friends house from a great day of skating to see a message from @Supra on skype saying "bro, you've been console banned", "everyone has". "What?" i said, and he explained everyone who had added F was banned along with their consoles. So i turned on my consoles and their it was, console banned from XBL, so i went to xbox.com and BAM, my tags were all banned. TBH i wasn't mad at all, i was like "well sheeeeiiittt".
4 days later, after the one letter F was unbanned, Convict and i and a few others were all in a skype call and i said "Holy shit they're on the dashboard omg omg" and Convict was like "so" so i explained "Why else would they be on the dashboard then to swap it"? So i fired up my turboer and miraculously the second i fired it up it said:
Literally everyone in the skype call was freaking out; then out of nowhere it said "F" was at the dashboard... but how could that be? I was at a friends house and we definatley weren't on Xbox due to my console getting banned along with my tags (rip). So i fired up the turboer again and yep, you guessed it:
The amount of screams comming from our skype call was unfathomable, it was ridiculous, almost like someone just got shot. So a day later, no sign of Xbox trying to swap the tag, i thought for sure we were gonna keep it. Dura was gonna buy it for 120$ LR, convict was convincing me to do it, but i was naieve and thought we were going to keep it. That night as i slept F was swapped back on to Karen Stevens main account and F was lost forever. We kept F for the second longest time in history that a one letter was kept; S was kept for 2 years, shimichi forced to pull it back by his supervisor due to the fact that the general public are not allowed to have one letters as they were reserved for the original Xbox launch team, and then R which was held by Villain and then deleted. F was kept for about 1 and a half weeks muahaha.
So i went home, it was over, F was gone and i was console banned. I contacted my friend and bought his Xbox; but wait... one of my tags survived: Shadowololol, the only tag that wasn't OG that got away scott free, i decided to make that my main gamertag from that moment on so i recovered it, was sitting at my computer and saw what looked like someone sent me a message on XBL and i looked and it said "Account signed in elsewhere", my first thought was "what the fuck"? I went to sign back in and lo and behold another fat console ban, little did i know they purposely didn't ban one of my accounts, but flagged it instead hoping one day i would recover it so they could ban me again. RIP Halo Reach edition Xbox.
There you have it, the legacy of Hurricane F, probably the most hurt one by this was @Devour , he had his dream tag, and it was taken from him right before his eyes and yes, we would still have our tags unbanned if we didn't make any mistakes because at that time, we were selling our gamertags and not even censoring them out.
What are your thoughts on this? What do you remember from 2/18/13? Where were you on this day? Post below to add your own thoughts to this thread.
