Now a prescience has been set with consequences that will be remembered and copied by other boards in how they deal with tubes and future problem companies - that webmasters ARE the one's who guide decision making.

Thanks GFY for making a landmark decision instead of letting it run it's course and waiting a few weeks until it blows over as we all know it would eventually. I know it wasn't an easy one, but it was the right one. Bringing back those that were banned was also a wise move.
