First of all, NO ONE has to invest any money here. Posting 25 times or more will gain ANYONE access to the files.
As for what is being said out there on the net, these are very angry and disgruntled individuals who are holding a grudge for things that took place here on PBP. Yes, there may have been some unneccessary banning of some
individuals, however, not all were unjustified. Things started to heat up around here when one of our members complained about another of our members named bruksn. the complaint was about being sold an fta unit on Ebay and then
was told to come to PBP and pay for VIP for access to IKS private server.
#1) PBP does not have/give ANY access to IKS private server.
#2) This does NOT fall under "testing" and is illegal.
#3) Anyone caught doing this or suspected of doing this on our site HAVE BEEN/WILL BE dealt with accordingly.
Upon this coming to our attention, the user bruksn starting insulting CASPER, one of the Admins (which is against the forum rules) and was banned. BUTTMAN302 then complained stating that this was his friend and he was going to find
out what was going on. Things got really heated between BUTTMAN302 and CASPER and so I stepped in as it is my duty to do so.
I asked for both sides of the story as to what happened. CASPER responded promptly with more posts and PMs than I could possibly read in a day about the conversation that he/she and BUTTMAN302 were having. I asked BUTTMAN302
specifically what his friend bruksn's side of the story was and when he/she finally responded, he/she stated that he/she would get all the information together and give that to me. I waited. The next thing I got from BUTTMAN302 was
a PM saying that he/she and CASPER talked things out and everything was fine now. I persued it no further even though I knew things were NOT ok, but I had done what I could do at the time.
Now, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that when someone isn't forthcoming when you ask them what happened, that they are hiding something.
People got banned. People who were associated with BUTTMAN302 and bruksn here as well as on other sites, got banned to not take any chances at them continuing their illegal activities. BUTTMAN302, in a post, stated that he was
buying IKS private server access and selling it to people.
This has since escallated into them harassing this site as well as our sister sites. Hacking into this site and our sister sites.
These individuals, especially BUTTMAN302 and CBMAC2001, (2 of the users banned), have been relentless in trying to shut PBP down and telling people we are ripping them off.
We used to have open downloads for files before this incident occured. Because of this, we HAD to lock down our once open forum and only allow access to those who have contributed to the site via paid VIP or post count.
We have NEVER refused to refund any legitimate claim of wanting their money back. BUTTMAN302 and CBMAC2001 NEVER asked us for a refund. And besides, only 1 year's access was paid before they became mods which gave them permanent
access to VIP. Yes, BUTTMAN302 had DONATED money throughout his time with us, but those were DONATIONS. No one forced him to give us money!
I don't know where the claim that Preferred By Pete "owns the internet" came from. We're just here doing exactly what we've been doing for the last 4 years. Nothing has changed except the fact that we've tightened security due to
some bad apples.
For some of the story please follow the following link:

We've been hacked at least twice in the last month, the database was stolen and we're trying to nail down who it is. We've been logging IPs of those who are trying to hack in.
Due to our ties with the RCMP, we know exactly what they are looking for so they can catch the culprit(s). And trust me, this person/these people WILL be caught.
If more information is needed, please feel free to ask. I'll answer what I can.
