As much as I love to see people wasting their time, I'll help yall out a little bit.

Trying to get gamertags like "Cat" from the release of the original gamertags is a waste of time.

See, back in September(ish), for about a month, it was possible to make gamertags with a different varaiation of Xbox 1 tags.

Example:

On the XBLv1, there was "cat". For some reason, during that month, you could make "c a t" on the Xbox360.

So, there was "B o s s" on the XBLv1. Some kid made "Boss" on the 360.

Now how does this affect ya'll?

All the good tags were already made. People already made "D o g" and other variants, meaning you couldn't make them even when the original gamertags do get deleted; the spaced out versions exist, and you cannot take those. The owner of the spaced out version will change it from "c a t" to "sakdkd", then to "Cat".

Therefore, all decently amazing tags have already been reserved.

Also, macroing the tags is stupid, why? Because it is using Xbox.com or Zune - both cache the request eventually, and it will always return false. Meaning you are wasting your time.

Thought I should share the knowledge.

Using iMacro works.. I got Television that way.... also there are still many tags that are decent and don't have the spaced variations, its all about thinking of them.

Because the possibility that someone can get a one word gamertag shows power and recognition among the whole community, that there may some who would like to buy the tags, or others who simply rage at how "pro" the owner is of said tag.

I still dont even get what the f*** an OG tag is. As far as I can see, its any (unedited) word in the english dictionary. As long as a gamertag doesnt have an obscene amount of x's, i's or z's I dont ridicule them and no matter what the tag ive forgotten it after 2 hours, so why all the effort?

Let them do whatever they want. No need to make this crap post, and that's exactly what it is. There is a working, and VERY obvious way to get the tag without it being spaced. The tag "M a t e r i a" was made before and I have mareria without having the spaced version. I'll tell everyone how later, but it's easily possible.

No reason for me to lie.
