I got information through my own E mail as to the banned members but won't name any of them. The PPPM's also could include Craven as the site has been hacked into in the past by some mischievious Abuzz members who aren't of very good repute. Need I say more?
On the staffers forum it was mentioned that part of the reason the system was shut down was because there had been a campaign via PMs on behalf of a banned member. I believe I received one of those PM's and it did not amount to any kind of campaign, and I most certainly hope the sender was not banned for it.
<shrugs> It's probably inappropriate for me (or anyone) to cite even that much from a staffers forum, but well, yeah. I know this is a community site and everyone admires and appreciates the great amounts of work that's put into it, and no, no user formally has any right to anything, but I also think it's a bit odd to close access to our old PMs as well as their future use without giving any information to the general user community about the why and what next. But that's probly just me, the site's only young curmudgeon.
Anyway, just in case anyone wants to reach me, I've temporarily put an old e-mail address of mine on my profile, I'll check it again every once in a while.
I would suggest the rest of those suffering withdrawls set up another method of contact... I really miss the pleasure pm-ing brought, but I was a perfectly innocent participant, posting nothing poisonous...
