Is this actually WillyG ?. Anyway, MS resets tags that have been inactive for 7+ years. They do it at random times though, They reset everyday, All day, But it's random though & they reset V1's. A V1 is a tag that was never transferred from the original xbox to the 360, Like for example, If you look up the tag Obey, It has the original xbox gamer pic, It has no country, Has like 3 stars & it says it has gold, when really it doesn't. That tag is a V1, Never transferred from OG xbox to xbox 360, So when MS feels it's time, They will reset that tag making it available for anyone to take.
