Is my live account banned or my Xbox?

[ComradeGort]

i use xbconnect, but i play mostly Pandora Tommorow. I haven't tried Halo yet but could it really be that bad? ive hardly had any problems with Splinter Cell and i just went on a 5 day binge since i learned about xbconnect. I freaking hate xblive, forced me to go back to best buy and return the damn card cause i guess i got banned a while back when i was too ignorant to turn off my mod. xblive said it was going to update my msdash, instead it erased my evox and replaced it, only so that i could get banned and never even connect if i wanted to. Damn i hate xbl, what is the point of banning modded systems if they can just use xbc? All they are doing is losing business, think about it, it doesn't make any sense. If someone is out to pirate games does microsoft think not letting them connect to xbl will stop them? They can only profit from letting modded systems on xbl. maybe they do it just to spite me, that's always possible. Thousands upon thousands of dollars... i just don't know
