Just in case you didn't know, Ace's censor people without warning and for no apparent reason whatsoever.

A couple of months back I had a heated discussion with Johan De Gelas regarding benchmarketing, and all of a sudden the thread was deleted and shortly after I couldn't post messages anymore. I still can log in as usual, but when I try to start a new thread or reply to any existing threads I get "permission denied."

At first I thought there were something wrong with the board or my account, and I sent an email to the webmaster of Ace's - Brian Neal - but I didn't receive any answer. Even after several more attempts, nothing at all happened, and based on this I must conclude that Ace's do in fact censor people for no apparent reason whatsoever. As a loyal fan for years this really disappoints me, and makes me wonder how many more people this has happened to over the years?

As these boards are private, the owner can do whatever he/she
wants. If you do not like what he/she does, you have to move
on.

I hope this doesn't come off as arrogant, but you did actually have a very special stance on C2D when the early benchmarks were out. If I remember your thread with johan, you did seem to confuse things a bit.

IIRC you were asking some pretty odd questions to his benchmarking article. Feel free to correct me, I am running off memory here :)

TBH, I don't think anyone (besides yourself) was really surprised you where banned.

As for deleting threads, Aces' forum had no tools to lock a thread or subthrread, nor AFAIK selectively remove posts. The only option to restore S/N was nuking the entire thread.

btw the way the old forums operated, thos posts should be on the hard drive, so if Brian/Chris can get the old site back up it is possilbe to resume the discussion..

For no reason? Hardly.
