Don't think for a second that their intent is People, Cars, and Activity
True. Onto the lawyers.

Congrats, Wayne!
You're the first to be banned from PCAforums.com!
The site had at that moment, a total of 8 threads and 32 posts.
Must be some kind of record!

Whoo-hooo!!! That's SO cool! I've never intentionally gone out to get banned before. The record is more impressive when you consider that 6 of the 32 posts were mine.

I'm impressed. They were actually kinda slow to ban me considering that I posted this afternoon and they obviously didn't ban me until 7pm.

The website says I'm banned until 7pm on New Year's Eve 2009.

Did Phil get banned also? (I'm blocked from the website)

No, Phil G's not banned yet.
Here's the mod's post for you, since you can't view it:

"wellardmac was banned from this site not for the negative posting here but for posting the same message in multiple threads and for creating a false signature with foul intent listing his car as " your wife" is an example of the BS that will not be tolerated here."

They're still there.
But my guess is, that when they find this thread, they'll start mopping up.

It took at least 10 minutes of thought to come up with the "your wife" car.

Pretty sad. No loss there. Rennlist rules. I only registered as I thought it was a legitimate PCA site.

I'm sure that PCA will take care of them pretty soon.

Thanks for letting me know what happened.

Strangely enough if I go to the site from another computer on my network I can see their forum. They deleted all of the posts except the ones in the New member posting area. I thought that their response was pretty funny.

Anyway, we shouldn't be taking up bandwidth here with this. I'm sure it will get taken care of by itself.

Yeh, I thought the mod's response was pretty funny, given that the website's mission statement is, "We are geared to be .........just a [sic] all around warmer, more welcoming atmosphere."

I don't think PCA is gonna have to do anything.
They have a whopping 3 members sign up, then they ban one of the three after 6? posts!
Doesn't look like a promising start.

Phil, you're going to join me and become a resident bad-boy?


Happy New Year!

Well, they're up to 106 members now, but at the point they banned me I think they took out at least 5% of their membership.

I regret that I'm one of them. I signed up right after seeing the first post in this thread yesterday. I didn't give them much info., and I've changed all my data to true-but-irrelevant stuff. I won't set out to get banned, as I'd like to watch the developments. And I emailed the PCA president yesterday, as others seem to have done.
