Saw something about this on Jalopnik a few days ago, guess it gets more interesting.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Looks like you can't say the boost word around here 
I'm pretty sure the first link is what you were trying to link to

Haha no joke, actually this forum is beginning to seem like a joke. Looks like I will be hanging out with the folks at boost world soon.

I don't really blame MBworld for not wanted to get caught up in this mess. For one EvoSport is a supporting vendor and two they might have been on the business end of a similar cease and desist order at some point. I would probably have done the same - let the vendor respond then lock the thread. Right or wrong would you really want to go to court over these shenanigans?

The previous threads about this are locked but available. Search is your friend. The reason why those threads are locked is because they turn into an endless cycle of insults and finger pointing, rehashing the same things over and over. This is a matter of principle.
I understand that there has now been an escalation about some confidential documents. Our TOU state that we cannot post "material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered to give rise to civil liability", so those documents are off limits in MBWorld. New links to that material, regardless of where the doc is kept, are not allowed. Though not on the same level, the principle is the same as our prohibition of Wikileaks links.
Finally, MBWorld has a long standing policy of not allowing links and re-directs to competing forums as a matter of principle. We can all live together while respecting our own space. Usually this is very simple to do and other forums are not hell bent on bending our rules. However, the particular forum in question has been spamming MBworld with dozens of aliases, fake users, and other tactics... not to enrich the user experience at MBWorld, but with an agenda to undermine MBWorld. That is why you cannot link to it.
Hopefully you will see that these 3 very distinct moderating actions are not related to some coverup or conspiracy. Evosport is a Premium Sponsor in good standing, but has no more privileges than any other premium sponsor.
I hope this helps!
