Yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that. The N2000 doesn't play nicely with most DVD-R discs and the Toshiba can be hit or miss with DVD-Rs. And also can wear out a laser quite quickly. I refuse to use repro discs in my players after repro discs ruined both an N501 and SD-2300.
Repros ruined your 2300? I saved my originals, made duplicates of the main games, and play those on my 2300 fine. One thing about the 2300 is I did have to update the bios to play Tetris, so that might have helped.
I honestly doubt that the recorded dvd's are messing up peoples nuons. I have had 2 of them go out that never ever had dvd-rs in them. I think they just are not that durable.
Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
