Many of you are familiar with the back channel emails that several ex-members of NBF have been sending you trying to get you to their new forum. Several of you forwarded us this email in disgust at the tactics taken by said ex-members to get you to join their forums. They would have you believe, once again, that we read PM's to get this infomation, but let me assure you we were notified via email and direct PM from concerned members that saw this sleezy tactic for what it was...pure sleeze. Here is proof of those emails being directed to us:
For now, may I ask that you do not post about it, and do try and get a few ppl who will join, do all contact work through email as PM system is for compromised. but do not post on nbf til we are ready to go public...Neale (aka Redphyve)
As you know, using the member profiles and contacts (your personal information) of this forum to solicit traffic to another forum is absolutely against the rules of Notebookforums that we all agree to abide by when we sign up as a member. Imagine if we let any marketer or spammer in here to spam your 'send member email' tabs to check out their site/products...ya, pretty nasty stuff.
So the offending members Redphyve and lillfields are no longer welcomed at NBF. It is very sad to see them disrespect a place that has given them so much since they came aboard, from direct support from AW to a new base of friends they otherwise never would have never known. Remember, these people have violated your privacy rules by spamming emails (which were quickly reported to the Admin team at NBF) to your listed email accounts on this forum. They tried to hide the fact and were caught.
Many of you had no idea what you were signing up for over there or the situation going on here and we hold no ill will over anyone who would like to take part in said community. We do not take sides and will never tell you where you should visit on the internet. We wish you a good experience from many different places/sites on the internet that may be of interest to you. We won't tell you where to go and what to read.
This forum will continue to grow using your input and will continue to flourish in member base and overall content becuase of the integrity of its Admins, Moderators and, mostly, its core group of members that give so much on a daily basis to keep the community alive and well.
Let it be known from here on out that this forum will not be strong armed into becoming the antithesis of what NBF and Alienwareforums.com stands for over a few out of control Alienware Fanboys who have taken it upon themselves to crusade against any and all rational thought about what a true community is. Any relationship with Alienware or the longtime members of the Official AW forums do not make you immune to the rules and regulations set forth by this forum.
Many of us here are multi Alienware customer that have nothing but the utmost respect for Alienware and its devoted employees that continue to innovate and create great products for nerds like us to enjoy. The black eye Alienware gets on the internet is a direct result of the aforementioned Fanboys that are blind to anything and everything Alienware and a true community stand for. I, for one, am ashamed as an Alienware owner to be associated with the likes of the group of whom I speak.
I truly wish each of the parting members the best of luck in all they hope to accomplish. To see another community flourish is a good thing...but it will not be promoted on the blood, sweat, tears, hard work and finances of the owners, admins, moderators, programmers and , again most of all, the members of Notebookforums. We owe all of the real members here at least that much.
