I used cheats for the hell of it, basically. Especially knowing that I was range banned everywhere anyway and I couldn't be arsed to ask every single server owner for a pass so I can type it in whenever I want to join their server because a good map was on. In fact I would go as far as to say I'd never have done it if I wasn't already range banned from all the servers that would ban me.
What I learned was it that watching your friend who's never played any fps on a computer before scoring 20 times on ctf ac_desert3 is quite funny. I also learned that you generally don't get caught unless you do something stupidly risky. Telling people where to get hacks for the thrill of the risk was indeed, risky. You could only too easily get away with cheating as long as you did it sensibly, as many people who you mightn't even suspect know. I can't stress that enough. Personally I found it extremely boring to hack so that I appeared very good, because it's not fun to have a helping hand. It's so much better to do things for yourself by yourself. Unless it's RuneScape or something where it's really not more rewarding to be clicking on trees for 12 hours straight no rests when your computer can do that itself.
To any would be and probably still will be hackers; don't hack, it's not fun for anyone else and it's not even fun for yourself apart from when you get to see yourself breaking the land speed record on a demo.
