    Right.

    Up until now, I thought this might be a personal disagreement that I was better off keeping out of. I was planning to buy from this business, given the previous good reviews, than figured I'd work it out later, after they left the forum. But to do things that p*** off your own customer base, like shutting down the forum deliberately? Not good business management. Or being a decent human being.

    Dumb, guys, really dumb. Way to put yourself out of business. I can tell you now it's nothing being said here by the moderators doing it, it's your own stupid behaviour. I won't be paying you for it.

    Looks like they were at it again tonight... Couldn't access the site via 3 different links (Home, Work and Mobile Broadband) but was able to ping the site, perhaps another DoS attack?

    Has anything been reported to the police? The harassment you guys are receiving is far beyond a joke...

    Dont worry Karma will kick in shortly...

    Take care guys

    The account of that so and so has been suspended.

    One of the staff members of the business in question.

    Guess, they need all the help they can get

    They're running themselves out of business.

    Thanks.

    Well, if there was any doubt before, that sealed it. Nice work on their part. I don't think we need karma to catch up, when they're going out of their way to abuse customers. What is that?
