I wasn't there but I've reviewed the chat logs. If you don't feel that your own behaviour played a large part in getting banned then I can't help you.
No mods called you a liar, you argued plenty with some regular old users, and then an actual mod asked you to wait until they could get a confirmation from myself or sa_ddam213.
You then started insulting the mods and the site which got you banned.
I have no issue with you getting banned, or leaving.
Best of luck.
To everyone else, yes we regret to announce that we will be shutting down the Mineshaft. All active subscriptions will still run to completion but no new pools will be listed or subscriptions extended.
We spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in development time trying to make the Mineshaft a success, but we simply have to accept that we still aren't even covering the costs of the servers hosting the pools let alone the time and effort we've put into the software. Despite the fact that a cost of a pool costs less than it would to get a server and host one yourself and there are no mining fees people are still complaining that the pools are too expensive and the slots aren't selling.
Couple that with the fact that new coins are no longer taking standard approaches to hashing algorithms etc and generally require custom code just to support on the mineshaft and we don't even have the staffing capacity to host them.
We really tried.
We failed.

o im banned as well? thats nice i guess lol. meh, your history speaks for itself, i have heard of many issues there. its only in my own power to not use a service i dont agree with, tho i think you may want to ask WHY your exchange with all the great services has struggled. Im SURE its not the way YOU and your MODS handle it, it MUST be the users fault.
Whatever, best of luck in your future as well
