    They had no way to know who was an FST member or not, aside from username or possibly email. But i dont believe that everybody uses the same username (and email account) both here and on the trackers.

    I'm not a conspiracy theory guy. They must have erased almost half their userbase. They banned whole invite trees. And FST users happened, unfortunately, to be amoung those. The idiocy is in the whole idea of banning everybody without even caring who they were. Real smart on their part.

    I laugh they banned everyone that keeps a decent ratio. Wouldn't that be a scene ey. But true they should not have deleted whole Invite trees like that.

    i didnt think the fallout of this massive ftwr bans would get this far but im not surprised. I didnt use my ftwr at all so when i was banned, i didnt take it that hard. I do feel bad for those who dedicated their time and bandwidth to contribute to that site and ultimately get ousted anyway due to what invite tree they belonged to. And judging by this thread and others like it here in this forum, i guess people arent just willing to let this one go that easy.

    You most likely got disabled because of someone in your invite tree...
    All it takes is one person in your invite tree, even if it consists of 100 people. Quite unfortunate...More than half of those 100 people didn't deserve it.

    it is just a strike against ego. Their "secrecy" and "privacy" doesn't actually mean anything except for their feeling of being special. I think it is fair retaliation when treating their users like crap.

    ftwr admins can do what they want.. if they delete you then they delete you! This topic is unnecessary and insane, should be deleted!
    "Normal" is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car, and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.
