Sorry, Lil_Will, you were banned for having the same IP address as a member previously banned.

There are some mighty suspicious characters out tonight.

My god--what is going on here? I thought all of the bonsai Nazi's were gone.

I agree with Chris. If someone as knowledgeable as Wes we should at least be given an explanation.



Peace
Bob

We are tying to figure out who is messing with the forum, and there are certain activities that trigger a response which imposes a temporary ban.

When Matt is able to get everything under control, we will re-evaluate the situation.

I heard he was named as the #2 man in a group of "chat terrorist" known formally as the "chat babies" by the forum experts. It has been said that the goal of this group was to ruin at least 3 hundred and 59 fronts on any 360 bonsai found to truly exist.

All,

Random banning seems to be going on at the moment due to some recent "unauthorised" access to control areas of the site.

Please bear with us and report any strange activity you might see HERE.

Myself and other mods are doing our best while Matt is unaware of this problem. It is about 3am in California at the moment.

Thanks,
Ian.
