I took the train there and nobody asked for my ticket. There wasn't even a turnstile. And it was such a culture shock to me. But I actually loved that level of trust and respect that the trains gave their passengers. The good people are going to pay their way and the majority of people are good.

Yeah, sure, some will sneak on the train, but we're not going to inconvenience all those good people just so we can find the few bad ones. We'd rather have happy, good customers than making a little extra money by enforcing a pay-to-ride policy. And would it even generate more money to check everyone's tickets?

It's causing me to go all over the place. I'm sorry if I'm ranting too much.

Okay, so our players in this story so far are Paul Owen, the guy who made Team Executor and was selling mod chips. And there's Gary Bowser, who's very front and center of this whole mod chip scene. In fact, he's so present on the forums that he's starting to make a name for himself on there.

Gary Bowser was so active on these forums that he started getting approached by people to actually be paid to be a forum admin. The first place that offered him a job, he didn't like that one.

The site was maxconsole.com, and Maximilian had just purchased it from another person. It was a fairly popular forum at the time, talking about how to hack video game consoles, where to buy mod chips, and just news about the modding and video game world.
