[QUOTE="James, post: 26408, member: 2"] I wasn't going to touch this topic with a 10 foot pole, however in the interests of keeping this from becoming a total $hitstorm, I'll give some input into this. But don't expect me to respond to any questions as I want to get this behind us so we can all move on in life. :thumb: Yes it seems that some of our members have been sending PM's to members on other forums. But what Bryan Bosch (part owner of TT) said in a post on TT is false and I'd consider it to be libel (Defamation). We never asked our members to (and I quote) "come to the big forums to spam the hell out of them to drive membership." I'm not sure where he got that information from. Let me back up a step and tell you how we got there. This past Monday I attempted to log into Team TT to check out a thread I'd posted in, only to find out my account had banned (with no explanation I'll add). So I sent a polite email to Bryan asking why. After which I receive a reply similar to what's in the OP's post, basically that I (DBA) ran a promotion asking members to "spam the hell out of TT".
