registered on their forums a few months ago to promote the channel, put a post about it in the new members section (i admit it may have been a little over the top) and got only arrogant insulting replies in return...replied with a little rant on how their attitudes and techno dont exactly go hand in hand, and the mod condescendingly 'welcomed' me into their 'community.'

tried later to promote a few events in the events section and got banned after the second post with no warning, emailed and no reply. Arrogant tossers indeed!
nice to hear i wasnt the only one to get the impression
