Lol. The fact that the OP is banned is irrelevant. I'm speaking to anyone else who might come across this post and share the same sentiment that the OP displayed. This site is not free to run. It has been around since 2005 (well, to the best of my recollection anyway). RedBot has graciously kept the site up and running throughout all of the ups and downs of EverQuest (and WoW at one point), and also through all of the ups and downs of his own life over the past 17 years. Having been a part of this site almost since its inception, I have seen first-hand a lot of the bullshit that Red and staff have put up with over the years. The fact that somebody else who has been here for so long had the audacity to be so disgruntled by the fact that RedBot has rightfully asked something in return for the excellent site that he pays for and maintains is beyond me. I cannot sympathize with the OP in anyway. I am overjoyed to see that RedBot obliged and has smitten them with the unrivaled wrath of the banhammer.
There are plenty of places where entitled pricks are welcome on the internet; this doesn't have to be one of them. Good riddance, and thank you Red and staff for providing myself and everybody else with such a venue to peddle our wares, and more importantly, a great community and fellowship that has stood the test of time. Cheers, my friends, and may our foes face the banhammer!
