    It does say banned and we're no longer included in the member list. And our signatures are gone from all posts.

    Avatars are gone too. At least mine is. Just a username and the horrible shame of having been banned. I'm in therapy for it myself. I can send you my shrink's number if you want.

    LOL. My psyche is just fine in spite of the rejection.

    In all seriousness though, if I were still active and didn't know what was going on, seeing long standing members being banned would alert me to a problem with the forum. It's their forum, so they have every right to ban us, but I don't think that was very smart.

    I think creation of new threads, and or bumping of the old thread will show how much attention they are paying, or if they have just set up some sort of auto post system to throw the occasional article there. Could give interesting insight, i suppose into just how important they find the forum.

    I suppose one of the biggest things for me was that they decided to ban people rather then removing the one thread that could point people in another direction. To me this seems kind of crazy.

    I think the one moderator is actually finding the articles and is doing the posting. He's responding to other threads too. I think the issue is that he has a full time job and is only moderating a short time each day and while he can recognize the obvious he doesn't catch the subtle things.

    Yeah, i do agree, however what i find to be quite strange is the fact that most of use that participated in the Thanks to the admins thread got banned, however the thread it self did not get edited, moved, deleted or really touched at all...

    It's strange isn't it. Not exactly on the ball are they?
