My side of the arguement got lost real fast.

    After a couple of weeks I refunded an additional $12.50, claiming that now both parties were out half their money and shipping costs. This wasn't acceptable to the Mods. Some other guys got involved and I guess a lot of emails were sent and a bunch of hurt feelings occurred.

    I was banned from Ars Technica so I decided this was a good time to leave DC. I moved most of my accounts to Free-DC, gave my gear to a friend who is slowly selling it as he uses it, and retired in all aspects.
    There are a number of us that are very upset about the ridiculous way you were treated. There may be be more changes coming
    Out of curiosity, what happened before that caused people to leave Ars and start Free-DC?

    BTW, is there a way to change my user name to something else?

    IIRC it was due to leadership not budging on a number of issues that a lot of the users wanted but it was even before my time here. I'm sure some of the early threads here discuss it.

    admins can certainly change usernames, I don't think users have the ability, at least they didn't way back when.
