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?

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.
