I'm also wondering how this happened to us. If one of the admins of the new boards checked out our link and reported us....or somebody else done reported us. Really, it is not like we hurt anybody
We brought over what? 6 people at most..and only a couple have stayed for more than a week.
And then out of the maybe 100 or so people that use the new boards - I don't really know, could be 1,000, I'm just guessing - does that make up the thousands that go to the festival?

I failed to read it before clicking the back button. So as the page was loading, I just barely got to read "A complaint has been filed"
