Aeropause scores a interview with a cheater

I was scanning Digg like usually, and this caught my eye. The digg was titled "An Interview With A Cheater", and immediatly peaked my interest, due to the fact that cheating on Halo 2 has come common place. But I can't complain, because Bungie have done a fantastic job to keep at a fairly low level. I haven't been modded, bridged, or standbyed in some time. Its funny to see "Schmuck5000" prespective on why "Modding is not an unfair advantage".

The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Aeropause: The rise of online gaming has had its share of hurdles and one of the greatest hurdles is getting rid of cheaters such as yourself. What advice would you give game designers to help discourage cheaters? Schmuck5000: Give Up! There is no way to stop us. Everyone wants to cheat and we will always find a way to do it. Anyone reading this is simply jealous of the fact that I have enough nuts to cheat and play the game the way I want to.
