well sir you see this site picks mods that are not specialists in the sections they cover, we have to report shit tons of these threads, and then after they're done wasting time in the shout box with their colored name, they will check the reports and get rid of some of these threads eventually. i know, shouldn't we have mods that know and are up to date about the section they cover, and they should do some rounds in that section to clean up these garbage threads before we even get here and not have to spam the report thread function?

hacks for the ps3 have been out for over a year. and have been documented and most ps3 users know all about them. i highly doubt there are any ps3 users who are oblivious to any of the ps3 hacks. an since 3.55 is the last cfw we have, anyone who still is on 3.55 that can JB their ps3 all ready have. there are no ignorant 3.55 users. this will help no one. because any term you place here people know them. and any new terms which will be placed here will come from a new release which will have its own thread and thus would explain what it would be/do in that thread. this thread will just regurgitate info we all ready know.
but atleast you tried to look at the thread in a positive way.

Just because active posters of NGU, and learned users like yourself understand all the terminology, it doesn't mean everyone else does :p.
