(btw, I'm writing this in the 3rd person)
Halomods.com - 6/5/06
In a recent developement, GruntMaps.com, once a mild manored forum (gruntmaps.tk), experienced a hostile take over tonight as site operator Neill Silva revoked administrative permissions from the long-time admin, Fleet Admiral Bacon.
The culminating events have led to hostile actions as the "Third Great Demise of GruntMaps" ensued. The events leading up to the take over included many 'upgrades' to the site, all of which were against Bacon's best wishes. The final straw came as advertisements on the site encouraged illegal activities (see image 1)
New reports show that the sites title has been changed to "The Outpost", Neill was quoted as saying "Thanks for introducing me to jarocks and bean btw." to bacon shortly after revoking admin rights.
Outpost, run by [EJ]Bean and Jarocks, is in no way linked to the site, and Jarocks was quoted as saying "its not THE OUTPOST its just outpost and thats copyright infringment i could sue i want my laywer". Later reports showed that Jarocks has no lawyer. More on that later.
Currently, the original sites of GruntMaps.tk and Outpost.tk have resumed operation and are ending all relations with GruntMaps.com

Do you care about illegal advertisements, perhaps?

They're just advertisements.. No one pays any attention to them..

Also, I might want to add that that advertisement isn't illegal, it links to a site selling a file recovery program which, from what I can see, lets you retreive a password you might of forgotten and whatnot.

Um, I don't care if it links to the Girl Scouts homepage, it says "Hack into Word, Excel, Access"
not to mention, I've had tons of problems with what he has been doing sinse day 1. And he says "and I keep paying all this money", bull, he pays by the year for the domain, so that's done, and what's the rest of this? "Upgrades"

then you shouldn't have trusted Silva have you? You've seen his antics here. :roll:

Matter of fact, I could count this as an ad because you do have links to your own personal new site right? that are posted outside of our "Your Website" sticky.

Plus this could be considered as advertisement.
