Me too sorta, although I don't fully agree that banning was the sole reason for the demise. It's like facebook and myspace. It's not that myspace did anything particular, it's more about the fact that facebook launched. You can't stay on top forever. This was a big 2Pac forum, now it's one of a million hiphop forums. We had the juice but we lost it, arguably, that's not entirely up to the staff and how they chose to run the site. Most other sites ban equally many people though when they cause problems.
