Saw someone linked the thread on the top comment so hopefully it gets known. Like he said though, once this person realizes they're caught, the thread will probably be deleted. Hopefully enough people catch on though and hopefully the MODs can do something about it. This is shady afVEfreak wrote Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:28 pm:I encourage people to go into the Reddit thread, which Corleone linked, and upvote the comments calling it out as a scam. That’s the only way they will move up near the top where people will see it.

I mentioned in the OP, that I had banned him for suspicious activity, I'll explain a little, but in order to get the full scope, I have to go back a little further and explain stuff that Max-B had nothing to do with.VEfreak » Thu Dec 31, 2020 8:40 am
There’s only one seal in the GM 11.5” rear end, unless you count the paper gasket that seals the axles shaft to the hub. I had to take both rear hubs fully apart and wash everything in a bucket of gasoline with a tooth brush, then get any remaining residue off with brake fluid and clean rags. So much axle grease had leaked over time everything was coated in a sludge made of axle grease and brake dust. Nasty stuff and I don’t like to put things back together without a good cleaning. Everything is back together now and I just have to finish topping off the rear end.Rainman56 wrote Thu Dec 31, 2020 4:09 am:Assuming you only did the outer seals? Yes I'm highjacking this thread

Have no idea how I missed all that going down. Absolutely wild... I came from the site that promised free t-shirts (lol) and came here.Corleone wrote Thu Dec 31, 2020 8:24 am:I mentioned in the OP, that I had banned him for suspicious activity, I'll explain a little, but in order to get the full scope, I have to go back a little further and explain stuff that Max-B had nothing to do with.
Back in August, some of you might remember an incident I posted about. Another member (ass swag) split up and started his own forum, and tried to use a bullshit trademark infringement attorney to try and shut us down.
There was a little more to it than just the trademark thing, the ass wipe was lying to members to get them to join his board, claiming that we had a "hit list".
Early last year, we needed a few more mods and we added a couple, including ass swag, which was a poor choice, but also didn't last long, he went ban happy and we had to remove his mod ability after about a week. I think he then got embarrassed and knew he would need to leave the site, so he made up shit. He claims that when he was a mod, he saw discussion from mods about suspending users for their race, political beliefs, for hating Carr - basically, whatever he felt was their weak spot that could get them pissed off at this site enough to leave and join his site(of course no screenshots exist, no proof exists of this because it's complete fantasy), but some idiots believed it because it justified their own fantasies on why they get banned from raiderforums. The truth is that people can just be ass holes at times, and we try to calm it down a bit.
Then the legal notices came, it was total bullshit, and I've already discussed it at pretty good length on the board, if you missed it, it's nothing too entertaining, but just know it was a pain in the ass, and I was this close || to filing a counter suit and taking that motherfucker to court. They were literally using false claims, and legal means to try and shut us down permanently.
After the legal attempt failed, they hired a black hat to DDOS our site. If it weren't for the timing of it, I wouldn't have suspected them, but the timing just made it way too obvious, and it was 100% a hired DDOS attack (our site was offline for a few hours, it wasn't the end of the world).
They also did some other shit that was more petty and just made them look like bigger ass holes than we already knew they were, but I won't get into all that.
I then found out that there was a fund, and a few guys on their site (notably Vegas34 and one other guy which kinda surprised me when I found out), were donating to ass swag and helping him fund this shit because they thought it was funny.
So I posted on our board a little about what was going on, and it was pretty clear that some members took a side and decided they wanted to defend him, and that's cool, but I banned them. His site was locked to the public, so I couldn't read any posts, but I could see a member list and decided to hit up some of the other members and give them the 411 and see where they stood. At this point, I know it was petty to put some members in the middle, but I didn't really give a fuck, they are the ones who did us wrong, and anyone reasonable would see that, and I told them if they posted over there, they wouldn't be welcomed here.
Max-B was cool when we talked, and honestly had me pretty fooled. He confirmed to me that the DDOS attack was done by ass swag and Vegas34 as I suspected, showed me a screenshot that pretty much confirmed it as far as I'm concerned. He seemed pretty trustworthy. He told me he ran the fantasy league, and that most the members were on the crackaddict site and that he couldn't really leave because of that. He told me that he was done with that site, but just needed to stay so he could post about the fantasy stuff and then after the season, he would delete his account there. That seemed reasonable to me - but in hindsight, makes me even more sure that he had planned to do this all along.
So then some time in November the crackaddict site goes public and I happen to see that Max-B is really active over there and just bad mouthing the shit out of us. I couldn't make any sense of it, so I banned him from our board, but now it makes perfect sense - he was playing both sides and didn't think I'd be able to read his posts over there(because they were not public, and I had no intention of trying to join, or fake my way in). I think he probably planned to stay in good standing on both sites, probably to collect gofundme money after he faked his death (that part could be a stretch, but I do think it's a strong possiblity this was planned months ago in the event that he did not win the league).
He then emailed me numerous times to get back on the site, tried going through Jeevo over and over to get back, then finally threatened me in email and told me that more bad stuff would happen to the site. I never responded to him.
So when the news of death came down, the week the fantasty league payouts were due, I knew without doubt, that something was up.

I was over there long enough for a cup of coffee before they gave me the boot. They said everything goes and no bans. There was a political thread going on and I disagreed with swagg on a subject, told I was a racist and red carded lolBobbyPhil1781 » Thu Dec 31, 2020 10:30 am
They're basically trying to go the same way Teh ROC went it looks like. That didn't last long but dude was good for how he found out BK was scamming people. They never did actually ban anyone though.Xramfan wrote Thu Dec 31, 2020 10:10 am:I was over there long enough for a cup of coffee before they gave me the boot. They said everything goes and no bans.

Kinda curious how quickly I'd get it since Swag and Attyla are giant tools. I do like some people but whatever. Choices were made (apparently) and it's a site that will fizzle out. All the small sites that branched from the original always did. That will be no different bc it's a hive mind and they chase out those that don't agree. Can't do that and expect a successful forum.FLORIDARAYDAH wrote Thu Dec 31, 2020 10:42 am:I was there for a short while. I only had a few posts.

Granted I wasn't around for this so I'm taking people's words as truth here but it seems like a little more complicated than that. Legal battles, DDOS attacks (which this site dealt with A LOT in it's beginning days), taking deaths too extort money, I dunno man. Maybe he did ban someone for sticking up for them but I'd need to see evidence. I've gotten a timeout for petty shit but that MOD is the topic of discussion here so take it for what it's worth lolRaiders4Life20 wrote Thu Dec 31, 2020 10:57 am:Banning people for sticking up for them and posting in a different forum is bs.
