I did not delete the thread, so it must have been Mike. But I can see his possible reasoning; He sells CC stuff, and to maintain good business relations, it's probably best that his forum does not condone hacking product to circumvent controls put in place to keep people from messing things up, which may cause warranty headaches if something breaks during the hacking process. I don't know if anyone from CC contacted him or not, so anything is pure speculation.
