<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 1493418, member: 15518&quot;]True... and they keep him as their group leader &quot;in absentia&quot;. He was NARU&#039;ed for using gestapo like tactics to eliminate questionable auctions, and apparently accused a few honest sellers of dealing in fakes (which neither they or eBay took lightly). I was a lurking member there a few years back, but there was a lot of paranoia among active members concerning those who did not post. They felt that non-posters were forgers in disguise, assimilating information to be used in the &quot;improvement&quot; of forgeries (I never bought into that); so they did a &quot;sweep&quot; of their membership, eliminating non-posters and any others they felt were not contributing. Membership dropped by thousands to around six hundred or so. By making the group private, they felt they could &quot;choose and pick&quot; members. Anyone can still join, but you need to send them a formal request.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
