I like both answers but sadly we can only have one.
Spamming threads? given the strength of emotion of some of our supporters, I can hardly blame them.
Do all successful and popular threads count as spammed ones? and why do the actions of a few invalidate all the strong, heartfelt arguments of the many? some are both.
We are not a recognized fansite?
Why not tell us how we can become a recognized one?
And even then, it seems that you have merely moved the goalpost again to avoid having to explain your actions. Pay a tax, get a license, jump through a hoop.
You certainly didn't have a problem approaching us for advertising. You didn't have a problem offering to pay us in EVE magazines for promoting your site.
That is why we made a thread in the CSM section.
Because the CSM are, to us, players of EVE, the circuit-breaker by which we can circumvent an unreliable, autocratic and out of touch management in CCP.
A management who have erred and sinned again and again against us. And then offered to make things right.
Not just for better guns, ships, expansions, patches and other game problems, but also for those things which come under the umbrella of the EVE experience.
We did not get a CSM response. You did not confer with the CSM. A CSM member offered to send on our message and the message we received was that our situation would never change. Facts, opinion, popularity, discussion, irrelevant.
SO there are some fanciful theories about our site.
consider:
20 thousand active users all with compromised accounts, all suffering from credit card fraud, identity theft, loss of EVE accounts and various other maladies.
While those complicit swarm to us to download the latest bots and hacks to win at EVE, sending isk and money to our swelling accounts.
Readers suffer cycles of requests for cash, isk and information - blind and innocent victims, our skills so stealthy that none of them ever connect us to their misfortunes.
And yet our site is so intoxicating that our victims continue to visit, invite their friends, stay for years, go to meets, play other games.
And carrying out all this amazing industry?
A squad of volunteers from various alliances, some of whom are at war with each other, loyally maintaining a code of silence and never letting slip exactly how much dirty money we make from our devious schemes.
What a dizzying mixture of luck and genius, to be guilty of all the charges leveled against us.
