No reason specified, ban to be never lifted. So it looks like I'll be spending my time here now on a more regular basis.

I remember you over on SevenForums, and I'm sure you never wrote any offensive posts or broke any forum rules as far as I know. :confused2:

Remember that the OPs you have helped have still been helped. It is they who we dedicate ourselves to, and that must always be so. We do not volunteer our time to any particular forum admin, but to the OPs. And remember, your cumulative post found remains completely unchanged. Also, you will find that many of the members here who have been banned at SF etc. have picked up the pieces, and are now much happier than they were before. All forums are different, and whilst which forum you end up making your "home" is for only you to decide, sometimes life forces a change and that change works out for the best. If you approach the coming weeks with your head held high, and seek to better your position and the help that you can give to OPs, you will quickly learn that not everything which appears negative to begin with turns out to be in the end.

I thought all this BS was long over since the "Great Purge" of 2012. What I find scary -- any other forum that he purchases in the future will have the same effect on us - automatic persona non grata - despite the fact we are a "member in good standing". Sad. I sincerely hope that TSF is not on his list. If so, there goes 30,000+ of my posts from 2007 - present into the "Guest" category. :r1: I don't care what he calls it or how he does it - changing a "Registered Member" to "Guest" is tantamount to a ban. UNREAL.
