Why would honest people leave after the blacksheep told he was gonna delete users? Seems strange!?

Harlequin and relee left but already before anybody said anything. I am 100% sure that they haven't cheated!!!
It is really sad that we lost them.

List of people that trade solutions (not just hints):

Cerades
CyBeR
matrixman
nonameleft

Yes indeed it is sad but why did they leave? I would have liked to know

They just got bothered day and night by cheaters.

...at least 4 from top 13.... Who is 4th?

I won't tell you his name because he is not trading answers but hundreds of hints.

So hints are forbidden ?

Hints are not forbidden!!!
Some user are just really active and have more than 1000 messages in there box.

Erik and TBS,

first of all: many thanks for all your hard work you put into making TBS such a greate site. It is really appreciated but not taken for granted.

The reason, why I pulled the plug on my account was quite simple:

1) more and more challs pop up, which are not tested enough to let ppl have a go with it. It's not to hard to test them, use a friend and ask for help to test it out. For the JS chall, I used Mozilla, IE and Opera to ensure, that it at least runs on all the major browsers. Just a bit of testing prevents, that it runs for most of the ppl out there

2) challs get created, which are not even logical - and then people enjoy that others can't solve it without asking for hints. That was for example the case with matrixman's chall, which was not able to get solved even at the first step without asking for a hint. I mean: is that a chat club or a forum where people can learn things. That got me mad to no limit.

I also must say, that I had the luxury to meet with a lot of fantastic people: like paralax, Hive, Caesum and a ton of other people. Not to forget about Harlequin, which is an exception by all means.

Again, I can only express my honest "thank you to all the proper people out there".

Cheers

PS: Phas, thanks for letting me know, that I should re-register my name, so that no idiot can take it over.
