Seems whoever this Larry character is he's very self justified... and we're all paranoid of him if I'm reading this right... I'd like to see some posts from the people who are getting contacted about his new forum and above all if you feel I'm this heavy handed moderator I'm hearing about here...
Below here is part of an email Larry sent to another forum owner who forwarded it to me... His site was having his members contacted also. I guess he can't get them on his own so he's out doing it the old fashioned way... (Some people might call that stealing.. Others would just say it's not technically spamming.. Not sure what I'd call it..)
By the way.. We're still having some back up issues here. Please PM me with any issues or times of the day you might have problems accessing the site. We were working on the server from 5 to 8 am today so we know about that. You can also PM me about the issue I just posted about if you'd rather not post your name on here. I've already heard from several of you doing it that way.
Thanks.. Guvner..
