I don't want to rehash the whole ST1 incident aside from saying that IMO it was something that got blown way out of proportion and was something that wasn't handled very well on either side of the dispute. I personally don't believe that TFM started the auction with the intent of wrongdoing. I also believe in giving second chances and also do give people respect when they contribute back to the hobby. If you look through the old posts about the Jeff P auction, you will notice the big acknowledgment to TFM for his contribution - I think he also mentioned he was going to do this in the dispute thread. So I don't think there is any doubt that the ST1 came from him.

If anything its the Acaeum that is trying to squash ToT with the new Acaeum Wiki whose goal is what? To do exactly what ToT is already doing.

After being kicked out of the inner circle (an exclusive private forum on this board) I see no need to continue posting within Scotts website. It was fun but it is fun no more, so much for UNMODERATED forums. Futures Bright Mkman
