Not to jack this thread, but I find the whole thing quite interesting. I posted a thread here sometime back with a warning for the community regarding a rather large commercial skin site employing, as senior staff, an individual who owns and runs a rather large warez site with massive amounts of ripped stuff from all spectrums of the forum world and beyond...even stuff from here (but not the skin site he works for :=\). I confronted this individual one night on the site he works at, presented the evidence and was immediately pounced by him and the other mods there. He had the nerve to say his warez activities were a "hobby". Of course the thread there was deleted and I was banned. So I came here to tell the story. I had screenshot evidence and still the thread here was deleted rather quickly, for what I remember to be "flaming". Could it also be because that one of the "legit" staff members of this skin site who participated in the attack on me is also a member here with coder status? This member knows of these activities and apparently condones them. I know moderating a forum this large is problematic, but it seems that claims should be given a proper review before a) allowing them to run or b) deleting them.

I won't name names or sites as I don't want to go down that road again here.

Thanks and again, sorry for the interuption.
