Cool29801 here. You may know me from my Chaos Servers that I run from time to time. (Where Frag grenades throw rockets in random directions and plasma nades are wraith shots.) I hope you have enjoyed the servers and games as much as I have over the years.
Many years ago frolicking in my teenage years at the height of Halo 2, I encountered and befriended 2 hackers who took a liking to me after I let them try my custom map projects before they released on Halomaps.org. In return, they let me exclusively guinea pig their private hack builds. Years of epic phat modded dedi-servers went on, until the death of H2V. Come Project Cartographer years later, I was enthusiastic to see these hacking tools still worked in my custom Chaos lobbies, despite the mentioned anti-cheat measures. Though I figured PJ had long been abandon, I did keep my hacking relatively minimal, used to brighten peoples days when they see funny mods that should not be possible and start conversations... Never to troll with aimbots and server crashers.
I let my excitement get the best of me 2 days ago, and followed a player over to an ouside server, answering hack questions and demonstrating certain aspects to a couple curious people. (color changing, projectile manipulation, Santa's Super Special Christmas sleigh-ride, etc..). I figured my hacks and mods were being used for group entertainment, but one Dev joined in a bit late and was perturbed about it. I offered to share these private exploiting apps for him to presumably reverse engineer, but the offer was met with a ban... I did attempt a discord conversation, only to be named, shamed, career-mocked, and then banned from the discord.
So now we're here. Having a full understanding of what is unacceptable and intolerable bannable offenses, I'd like to appeal the ban and give H2PJ another go, but within the rules. I would like to make amends in good faith by offering these private hacks that I've used over the years to the devs. (However useful or non-useful they may be for creating further anti-cheat measures...) To my knowledge, only 2 other people have ever had these hacks, and I'm pretty sure the original creator is in jail right now. It would damn well be news to me if these seemingly exclusive apps where out in the wild for others to use.
I'm open to discussion about the issue and hacks involved either here, or directly over discord.
Glad tidings to all!

TL;DNR:
Had fun hacking with others on a game I thought was abandon.
Game isn't abandon and has an online community that I now want to be part of as I didn't know they existed.
Merry Christmas.
Offering trade in good faith for unban rather than disrespecting the ban by attempting to sneak around it.
