I was a moderator on that site. I knew NOTHING about the take over.

Allot of us were there, we know what happened.
That guy helped me and many others I know for free and never asked for anything in return. I am not aware of him screwing anyone.
I haven't seen him for years but still consider him a friend.
He started a forum for his friends to use one day when pelican's site was down. He put more and more time into it, and eventually it was pretty nice. He wasn't doing it to make money, he was just donig it so we all hang out on the interwebs without all the restrictions of another site.
Other's volunteered to help, and they did help. they probably did as much to keep the site up than the owner did, but they volunteered to do it because they liked the site.
Over the years it got bigger and more popular.
When he was in a tough financial time he looked into selling partial rights to the forum for advertising, the moderators STOLE the forum from him to prevent the sale.
They said IT'S MINE MINE MINE, and shut it down and locked him out. Then they created an exact duplicate on their server with all the same history and posts etc.
His so-called
FRIENDS turned on him big time. A few of us stuck by him.
It's pretty clear to me who the criminals were.
