Well, aside from this getting extremely off topic, atleast the fog was cleared up a bit.

In response to Customz, all I did was warn the community, something this site and others alike could improve on. (Looking out for each other) I even got 2 IM's saying how you've pulled off something like this before. No details were given because I didn't respond to them, but it just comes to show. One of them even referred MC as "Shady Shane", but atleast he gave me what I requested on the site. (you being banned..)

Glad to see this getting resolved though.

I still don't see why you are posting to buy an account before compensation was even given. Saying you will give someone something and actually doing it are completely different concepts. Even so, if the user doesn't do any research and is not able to link you to this thread, then their idiots and I could care less to what happens to them.

As for the whole you not being able to respond thing before the falsities were posted, to be honest I find this as an excuse of you not compensating Glacial. Every mod as an AIM they could be contacted on. Regardless, it appears you've changed for the better, let's just keep it that way.

Changed for the better? Who are you talking about, watch what you say..

I said it appears he changed for the better. Looks can be deceiving I know.

What I meant was he decided that he would try to compensate Glacial instead of just saying screw it and worry about himself.

Due to the excessive posting I have my doubts KH will post again. Whether or not Customz decides to compensate Glacial is between those two and the mods, so there is no need for this thread anymore. Locking.

One day, for reasons that were never fully explained to myself, or anyone besides Alex / Ace / possibly Dinner (although I don't think he would have known) Marcus decided to sell the website's database in favor of going legitimate and no longer supporting the virtual goods trade.

I guess this is sort of off topic but...

I'm not sure why people are still confused as to why Marcus sold Markee Dragon. You don't need Marcus to explain it to you why he made the decision, to me at least it was quite obvious. But here it is...

The forums to Marcus was an "on the side" thing. You were a staff member, you should know that Marcus was a ghost in the forums. It was rare that he engaged the community socially or did administration tasks. That was what Alex was for. Marcus mainly just controled the budgets and the direction the forum development took. Markee Dragon was never even meant to be an account trading website, it just happened to be the right time, right place and it kept growing and growing.

As you said Marcus is a business man. That is his focus. Shattered Crystal is his biggest website along side Trust Who. In view of Marcus the website was a cesspool of virtually illegal activity (EULA violations) and this got in the way of him trying to get big contracts with games for Shattered Crystal. Think of it this way. I am a game developer and I am considering Shattered Crystal as an official game key seller. Looking into it a little more I find that he (Marcus) has a forum, not only a forum but the largest forum, for buying, selling, and trading accounts, gold, etc. This is against my game policy and now I want to endorse his CD key company? I don't think so. Not to mention that during the time that I was staff we received numerous "complaints" from companies like Electronic Arts forcing us to take down some forums or face legal actions. Marcus did not want to lose his reputation because of the forums, so he got rid of them. Not to mention the upkeep and development costs of the forum was about $60,000 per year. In years past it has been over 100k.

If you ask me selling Markee Dragon was a legitimate move for his business even though it greatly destroyed what the community was, but he didn't care. I highly doubt that he has had any second thoughts about selling the forums.

Get it now?

Glacialbullet via PM.

Absolutely NOT resolved, he never gave me money back or an account sadly, the man scammed me, and it was obviously admitted by him, and we all concluded that it was intentional, and I lost money. Nothing has been resolved, the only thing that came out of it was him being banned, he refused to help me out obviously seen here
Also, the only way things can ever be resolved is if he gives me back the guaranteed refund or an equivalent account back. There has been absolutely no contact between him and I since the entire ordeal has taken place.

Customz has been re-banned.
