i came on here and posted what no one knew
that the shop had been raided on the 22nd
you did not know that
I almost shed a tear after learning that poor old Darkman has had to close his shop and servers down due to A) A small fire at his shop B) The servers need to be rebuilt and it is going to take 2 weeks C) He's been raided by Trading Standards/Police and all those people who lined his pockets are now looking at black screens. Everybody knew that this would happen sooner or later and nobody can run a Server that large and feed that many people without creating ripples. I'm just glad I never bought a Spiderbox, but I would be slightly worried about buyers details being kept which are probably now in the hands of the Police. If he doesn't keep any details about sales then he would be looking at a long time in jail for tax evasion, because as anyone who runs a small business knows you need to keep as much paperwork as possible (unless you have a very good accountant). Just a thought.

calm down dear...
but is this a balanced forum or a biased one?
Is there only free speech for some
This is a fair forum m8 with free speech for all wether people like what is said or not, this is not a forum run by a jumped up little shit with hitler mods who ban people for daring to ask questions
Do you not agree people are banned without good reason there ?
Ok thank you for the clarification, as a mod on that forum do you include me in your statement?
you answer the question as "you"
you may of been a fair Moderator I don't know as I never visited the site in question
but I think Brontos question was meant as a whole
the banning in general on the forum
not you as one Moderator
Look you made a statement and I asked you a question which you have not answered.
Ok I will answer your question but you will not like my answer, but as I see things it will be the truth.
Your question "Do you not agree people are banned without good reason there"
My answer is no I don't agree with your question.
I all my time on that forum I have only requested two members be banned both times were due to breeches of the forums rules and well justified.
I have warned members that their posts were breaking forum rules or likely to encourage other members to reply breaking the rules and linked the posters to the rules in case they had not taken the trouble to read them. In most instances the "read the rules" PM is enough for the member to consider the situation.
If the original poster takes no notice and continues to break or encourage others to break the rules then I issue a warning, if that warning goes ignored then I might issue a second warning or if the offence is serious enough I can request other mods to consider the member or issue an outright ban my self.
Ok thank you for the clarification, as a mod on that forum do you include me in your statement?
Well that's it I've answered your question, how about mine?
Never been to the forum or shop, but I am well aware of the tactics used by DM, and his forum croonies. If something is posted that DM feels is unfair, or inaccurate, then its removed. Even if the information posted was accurate, and its defamatory then its removed. You cannot deny that as a moderator.
And yes people have been banned for no reason at all, not saying you as a mod have done it, but everyone knows of people that have been banned for asking questions. So dont come here with your hollier than though speech, cos its just bolloxs.
Bottom line people, you pay your money you take your choice. Everyone knows what DM does is illegal, yet everyone was happy to line his pockets and receive a less than excellent service. Now his retail outlet has been raided, everyone is shiiiting themselves. Again, you pay your money you take your choice, did you think this would go on forever without problems?
A server of that size, with that many disgruntled users was always asking for trouble, tbh I for one, am just suprised at how long it has taken for some poor sole to grass DM up. As clearly that is what has happened. Wonder how long it will be before we see one of DM's famous rants about how none of this was his fault, and it was all someone else, and that the server wont be affected, and normal service will be resumed after you pay a small fee
