I avoided taking strong sides in the whole ls1.com v. ls2.com and ls1.com v. ls1tech.com arguments. I figured much of it was bickering. However, this thread is a real eye opener to the fiscal management behind the board. There's plenty of "noise" to sift through, but the story of the downward spiral, backed by numerous emails seems to be quite damning. While I had significantly cut my visits to ls1.com, I guess it's time to forget them completely. I'm still surprised more sponsors have not jumped ship.

Question... what happened to LS1.com anyway?  Whenever I see it brought up on other boards there's just a ton of mudslinging.

Was it embezzlement of advertising funds, or something else?

What caused the moderator mutiny?

I knew this was going on, but I never really understood "why".

In a nutshell.
The owner had promised to pay the old isp... the admins gave an ultimatum and it was not met.
The admins left and brought lots of people with them.

There are 2 sides of the coin...
1, people think that the ls1 owner is crap, and can't be trusted because of not paying the isp.
2, who cares, the $ of the board owners is none of our business. it's the owner problem and not the members.

Either way, people should just get over it.

btw, the guys at ls2 banned me or stunned me with "miserable" and I get the following message all the time:

While not getting it under any other IP or user.
I guess they don't like the questionning and only want to have posted what suits their purpose.
Shows how different they say they run the place... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
btw, not venting... actually feel like laughing of the irony... as if I care.
