+1 as well for doug

your site is first to pop up each morning and last to be looked over every night. Although this is my first comment, i am constantly browsing the forums and reading up on the stuff. Just thought I’d toss in my support for you.

+1 for Doug… The reporting couldn’t get any better.

@ vinnie, this story was first published march 12th and not much was known about it being a hoax yet. If you cared to read the comments before your usless babble you would see that the truth has come out.. such as my comment on the 13th at 6:00am

@Vinnie: What part of my article wasn’t true? If you read on XDA posted BY FLAR that they had received a letter from Microsoft and had pulled all the links to the 6.5 ROM’s by Da_G. That is EXACTLY what I reported. nothing I said was not true, so your claim of irresposibility is absurd. I would think that if FLAR at XDA reacted to something like this, that there is value in it, and is newsworthy. Instead of questioning me and my reporting perhaps you should send XDA and FLAR a nasty email/comment lie you’ve done here and see how you go with that? Furthermore, a lot of very credible websites have linked to MY story. I would love to see you hash this out with BGR! So if they thought it was credible, then I can rest assured that I was right in publishing my article.

As for crawling back in my hole, you have no idea the EFFORT, TIME, and MONEY I have put into my websites and forums. When you can come out of your hole and contribute to a community like I, my team, my friends do, then I will listen to your senseless babble.

This alleged hoax may be just that, a hoax, but if it was so certain that it is, then why hasn’t XDA put the links back up? Again, while you attack me, why not attack XDA for not doing further diligence and put the material back up? Again, because they obviously are not convinced either at this point.

I am reading all of the relevant material to the Hoax now and will respond to it and alerat our readers. I am just now crawling out of my hole from staying up to 2:30am upgrading our forums to make our community a better place and try as I might to help people. What did you do last night?

What crappy reporting. This whole issue of Microsoft telling one prson in XDA to stop his tinkering with wm 6.5 is absurd. If I was you Doug Smith, I would stop reporting and crawl back into the hole you came out from. Why don’t you do some invetigating before you come out with this crap.
For one, this is all one big HOAX by a Jelous idiot Named James Young!……”The James Young 6.5 Rom Hoax”
