   just messing around I found away to use a ball after its been
  Used up. Ok well this is big! Let me back up a little.
  Last year I found a bug to let you hit the ding every shot you want.
  So I told a mod about this and made a video. Now this is not a cheat program
  Or anything, this was in the game itself. So the mod turned it in to the
  Programmers and they fixed it. My prize for this info was 4 sleeves of
  balls.Ok not a big deal was hoping for a lot more.
  Now back to this bug. After a ball is used up you can still use it indefinitely.
  Now this info has to be worth a hell of a lot since this sites income
  Is mostly ball sales, right? When I told the same mod this and what I wanted in return
  He wanted video proof again. This time I want a lot more, than last time. He would not
  Guarantee me what I wanted, so I wont release this info.
  What would this info be worth to this game?
  What if this info got out?
  I promised I would not say anything about this,but Im pissed they wont compromise
  With me.
  What say you?
  This will probably get deleted by the mods.

  "What say you?"

  You said they fixed the original bug. WGT programmers have a history of "fixing" a bug, only to have it result in different bugs cropping up. This probably explains why you can still take advantage of it, in some way.

  Public extortion is not the way to go here. Just do the right thing.

  Different bug CT, original is not there anymore, according to what is said.  But to fix a bug is real real hard to fathom.  Just messing around huh, sounds like into game code, and if defeating, altering, me thinks a ban just might be, or should be headed your way(not CT). Don't think you might have to worry about getting anything from WGT, except maybe a boot.

  You may have just spoken up once too often.

  I don't see where you have any leverage. You either use the knowledge for yourself and don't have to purchase balls. But you seem to be buying balls, which seems odd to me if you don't have to do so. Or you release the information, telling others how to do it. Now, you've just given WGT the information for free.

  I suppose you could just give that information to your friends. But then the effect on WGT is negligible. Why would they compromise? At this point, you have little to offer.

  Let's see....

  You promised not to say anything but you have. so what does that say about your character.

  Then you are holding them over a barrel to, as CT  said, extort more from them. I'm not a legal eagle but extortion is extortion whether it's an everlasting virtual golf ball or $1,000,000. Might be time for you to head for them thar hills. Pity you misspelt your name or you really could have got a shift on.

  I was always taught to do what is right and if helping someone then do so out of the kindness of your heart and don't look for or expect a reward. Different times I guess.

  As for what say I? Well you certainly seem to have rodent characteristics.

  Just guessing. Trick/bug probably doesn't work on lost balls.

  Extortion is against the law in every jurisdiction I know of. Just saying.

  This is funny! Extortion? Not! Information for sale is what I have here. You all have vivid imaginations to say the least. Go ahead and throw rocks at me. You would want something in return to for this info I have.

  Banned ooooh Im scared! Its a online golf game for christ sake.
