You actually have to know what the goons are to understand what I am talking about. And Retlaw is a goon! No chocker
Nah that's alright.
edit: I think we touched on that topic before to!
I wasn't banned I've just read about the many cases of people getting banned. They are quite a weird bunch IMO, i surf the web about them now and then when I'm bored and their main site is quite funny.
I read about this case where their leader in Eve Online stole; was it 3 trillion ISK (alot of moneyz iRL - dont ask me how much) and this huge collective of once feared goonies, having done plenty of hacks, rl threats, horrendous trollings, etc (among other far less serious shit and quite amusing stuff) couldn't get their act together and get their old leaders ass bent and whooped.
Sure they killed him a few times in game I heard but that's about it.
Also there are tons of cases of people not fitting their political spectrum (some weird "pinko-liberal" inclination) getting banned. Which even a "pinko" like myself finds distasteful. More ever for being a "swarm" in general they seem to be fine with the fact that all their clans and their main sites are basically run by a very few select people who profit enormously from all the fees and rookie-duties associated with their many "chapters" around the internets and its various realms.
About the 10 bucks. Yeah.
But to be able to search the archives there's an extra fee. For a custom signature there's an extra fee, etc. There are fees or duties associated with joining their clans although there have been instances where rookies have been given tons of free stuff to. This is countered by massacres of rookies on the other hand.
On the other hand I just checked their page again and boy does it have a nice gem on the frontpage:

After scimming through alot of crappy articles, shitty animations and boring satire I found this:

Talk about twisting something just before breakingpoint.
But I can read this crap for free.
