1) RRR was banned from here for shilling for other sites.
Think about that for a minute please.
It speaks to character and his agenda.
A desire to promote himself and make money and/or free parts by constantly promoting certain companies.
Take the time and read his posts here yourself and you'll see what I mean.
This wasn't a vendetta by me or anyone here towards him.
The action of banning him was purely in the interests of seeing the people here not be pushed to any one company by someone with an agenda for doing so.
2) The mass bannings, 32 of them to be exact
This took place because of actions by one of RRR's members: Worthy.
He posted a disgusting homosexual picture in Ashraf's birthday thread with Fugger's face photo chopped into it and then went back to RRR's site, posted a screen shot of it there and the "group" all came in for a good laugh over it.
Then another disgusting pic using chopped pics of Charles and Vapor was posted at RRR's site by Joel himself.
After viewing comments there that said to me they were coming to post those here and also to crap the threads in the LC section it was decided to "get rid of them" for the good of XS.
I then spent over three hours going threw threads in the 'It's a surprise show" threads at RRR's site and made a list of the people who were posting what I call "Hate posts"
and those 30+ people were banned here as they seemed the ones that would be coming to post that crap here.
That thread has been edited extensively by Joel in the last 24 hours but I have over 30 screen shots taken before he edited them out.
After the bans were done there were at least two more postings here of the pic done by Joel and they were immediately removed and the posters banned.
Then there was a post by KaptKrunch on RRR's site soliciting people to do a DDOS attack on Xs with XS's IP and info posted there.
As to B*P-Vincent and Bits-Power that is and has been Fugger's call not mine.
He saw something that evidently set him off and thats between him and those involved.

Now you read all of the above, add in that those that know me know ALL I do is with the best interests of this site and you tell me if you think we overreacted.
We had two choices;
1) Stand by and ignore this and hope he just went away.
That wouldn't happen.
Your dealing with a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur who thinks he's God's appointed person on earth on the subject of water cooling even though as far as I can find out he's never even completed one water cooling build.
2) Take preemptive action and remove the potential disruptions to this site and that is just what was done.
I don't think anyone disagrees with the bannings. But blocking the name of a product? Effectively putting it in the same class as an expletive? I think that one speaks for itself, and even though I don't believe that was the intention, that's how it's gonna come across to a lot of people, and just be downright confusing to others. Elegant it is not.
