There is a full list here.

Thanks.

1. I think Theymos did right by banning Matthew from posting (I enjoyed MNW's posts but had no idea about the bet case), yet at the same time allowing him to send and receive PMs.

2. Ability to receive PMs and replying to them is essential for Matthew to communicate with his creditors (people he has financial liabilities towards) and essential for his creditors to reach him.

3. As soon as Matthew reaches settlements with all the creditors and pays them, the ban may be lifted.

He didn't get banned for that bet, he got banned for his "troll messages"/trolling.

I see people who have scammed being here in the forums as Hero members without any tags, just carrying a little neg rating from theymos. For example bulanula who scammed over 22 bitcoins, had scammer tag for a while..

Theymos, I don't think you did yourself a favor here.
I am disappointed. And now, for the first time, considering moving on elsewhere.

Is there another place with active community?

Theymos should listen to the community. Community has donated a lot bitcoins to this forum, though I don't know are those coins used to pay salary to theymos or something.

The second-biggest community would be http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/
Then there is planning and organizing going on for a new forum:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/seeking-a-team-to-develop-bitcointalk-20-forums-apply-within-244678

About the coins: Mods are paid here now. Both from ad-revenues and donations, as I read.

Is this evidenced somewhere?

There is a full list here.

I guess he cannot update it anymore.
I see Anduck was in the list... So, Anduck, how did it end for you?

He paid me (not the sum I bet but a little part of it, something still!). I agreed this as a settlement for his debt to me.

Paying "back" implies he did take money in the first place, which he didn't.

I'm with Theymos.  Trolling aside, read through this whole thread and decide for yourself:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1113117

I read it. If that thread truly, exactly and accurately represents what happened, then Matthew screwed up and cheated on people.

He is paying it back.

This.
We (the community) need to know what those BTC are used for.

Then create a new thread, please. This one is about Matthew being banned, not about BTCT fortune.

What happened to the other projects to start an alternate forum?

Should we start a new forum? If anyone wants to start a new forum, I am down. I can't put up coins since I am in some investments where I can't pull out coins. But all we need is a dedicated box about $75-$125 /month. SSL which is about $7.96-$335 / month. So it is kinda expensive but not too bad.

MNW is to Bitcointalk as whiskers75 is to CoinChat.

For this reason, I support the unbanning of MNW, he may be a bad person who let some people down and trolled a bit, but he is a part of this forum and should not be censored, as part of the Bitcoin ethos.

I don't get it either.

Matthews Post are always either true, hilariously sarcastic or at least funny, I never seen him posting the pure rant you see from most trolls.

There are so many much worse trolls here, banning him just makes no sense and is at best personal motivated and doesn't show the neutral judgement that you would expect from a mod or admin.

Err... 2 days ago?
Was he even able to post trust feedback at that time?

I've contacted him regarding him seeking a programmer for a project. I've worked on it for a bit and then decided I wasn't really interested. I've already expressed that to him before before, and then signed off from Skype. (I don't generally use skype unless I have a specific reason to talk to someone there, so I haven't signed back into skype for weeks).

No money or coins were exchanged. This event was months ago, and MNW suspects that I will steal the idea / assets and launch the project myself. I'm quite offended by that, but after talking to him I understood his point of view and MNW has had that happen to him before, even through he was trolling about how I should ask theymos for rebuttals in the trust system if I want to respond Roll Eyes

Keep in mind the trust feedback is about what he thinks I may do. It's not entirely unjustified however, if I was him I'd share similar feelings given the devotion he has for that project.
