August 12^th, 2001 (12:00am) - Sonic Team has finally started banning hackers permanently on PSO and PSO v2., the only thing is there is no way around it now because they are sending in alot more patches to the servers to block out xploders/gamersharks. The reason its taken so long to ban codes and other things is because Sonic Team hasn’t been getting along very well is ISAO. ISAO provides all kinds of internet technology and provide the PSO servers for the most part. Sonic Team and ISAO just haven’t been communicating very well and so updates to the servers are slow.... very slow. Also, the PSO servers were reported as being hacked a few days ago and the Japanese have tracked them down and it turns out they’re in another country other than Japan and some sort of international police has been notified so their asses are grass so to speak.
