Brilliant move. I wonder what possible excuse they could have for banning 500E board dot com, which as you correctly stated DOES NOT SELL ANYTHING. The original thread was titled 'vendor quality list' which was not accurate, it was changed to 'manufacturer quality list'. Methinks an over-zealous Fruitbird admin may have simply looked at the title, never clicked the link or confirmed anything, and pulled out the pooferator obtained from the old MBCA email lists...
