All I did was say that it was supposed to be an advanced machine and that they should make it capable(maybe with a firmware update or some kind of update) of remembering a blu-ray's position when the unit is turned off(all of them have hard drives it shouldn't be to tough to mark a position).
For most blu-rays this is not much of a problem but some are interactive like choose your own adventure sort of thing like house on haunted hill 2 that requires a lot of interaction.I failed to post about the house on haunted hill 2 thing because they loced me out or something.

Yea they're pretty strict over there, I don't go there because of it. Although I would think if they banned you for that they would have deleted the post as well.

As you can tell nowhere did I use foul language or anything like that

From Kaz:
The reason the user was banned was due to his handle being attributed to a copyrighted character in Dr Seuss books.

WTF, names are not copyrighted, they're trademarked, and I highly doubt Dr. Seuss trademarked the names of his characters. And even if it was, I don't think the OP's use would be infringement. What a lame reason to ban someone.

Are you freakin' serious? I guess I'd be banned over there too.

Yes, it's almost like Modeps completely made up that response from Kaz Hirai, current President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.

Onceler, the name is not copyrighted. Modeps was just having some fun. You don't need to change your name.

If you're having problems with your Playstation forum account, your best bet is to PM one of the mods over there and ask them about it. There's not much of anything the ATCG forum can do about what the Playstation forum does.

From the Playstation Forum New User Guide

Dispute a Ban
If you would like to dispute a ban please email psxboards@lithium.com. When emailing this address, please provide us with your message board handle, your email address you used to sign up and wherever possible leave the attitude out of the email. Verbally abusing the staff because you were banned won't get you anywhere, in fact it will probably get your ban extended. We're far more likely to listen if you're polite and courteous. Note that we respect the privacy of those banned. We do not discuss the bans of forum members with the general public.

Haha speaking of Webster read the first paragraph here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Lewis

Emmanuel Lewis (born March 9, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor. He is best known for his title role in the 1980s television sitcom Webster. He is 4'3" (1.30 m), which qualifies him as the most awesomest man in American History because of his excellent work in Cold Fusion and the Chaos Theory. Lewis graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 1997. He is often compared with Gary Coleman, star of Diff'rent Strokes. He currently resides in Fayette County, GA.
