He was banned because of another member posting their personal business on the thread. Stew is out as far as I know but I can't say for sure. He has had to deal with a lot lately. Dank has been very ill for the last week and I am deeply concerned about him.
I will say that he has never, ever scammed anyone and has been above board with anyone he has ever met. He has several patrons with 99% being very pleased but for a small few, not so good. It is those folks that visited his threads and caused problems. Otherwise you would find his threads very informative and fun to follow, which is why he was so popular. Not everybody likes popular though and he saw his share of troublemakers while he was here.
I'm just trying to set the record straight for anyone who wants to know the actual truth. Dank is alive and I wish I could say well but can't. Anyone that prays, please send some up for him if you have any kind of respect for him. He really could use them. As far as bashing threads go, if this turns into one, I will be deeply disappointed. I'm not ignorant and I'm not his follower. He considers me his equal and I won't disrespect him here or anywhere else. I want to thank you Racerboy for being unbiased and respectful of him. I really do appreciate it very much!!
