If he's really using the number of members as a selling point for advertisers, knowing full well that some of the accounts are deliberately inaccessible, then he may be committing fraud.

Legally or just because he is a tool? Because if it is a legal issue I would love to see him get sued for deceiving the masses.

Al's thread asking about the bans and the scrambling of member passwords has promptly been closed. Don't even think about going against the company line.

Yep, that's the solution to everything over there now, just close the thread. I swear, in the little time i've spent browsing puff.suck i've seen more threads closed in a week than I ever saw in the years the old mod crew ran the show. Remember when we could talk about things and discuss gripes openly? Try that now and your thread will be closed faster than you can say boo

Naa just a crying shame is all.

Being a little... more vintage than most here, thought a little observation that parallels my life might be in order.

Helped build a business for another back in the late 80's thru the 90's. Went from 2mm to 50mm. 30 employees to 400. Started in sales and had a hand in bringing in the growth in good people and business. Ended up as president. There were significant character issues with our owner that culminated in my getting fired on a Monday after returning the previous day from a ski trip with some of the team. Worst day of my life. Over the next month most of the team quit. Sat out their non- competes and starved for 18 months.

Today we own and run a business together that is bigger and better than the one we left. Everyone is better off and happier than we ever were or could have been. Trial by fire forges strong bonds.

Weird the parallels in our lives at times. From the worst of things can spring the best of things.
