Franko, as best I can tell, has been banned from just about every forum he has joined...
Yep, maybe the people wanting him back should take that as a clue.
Is the above scenario a stretch? Yes, a little bit, but it could happen
Something similar already happened. For the better part of a year, the owner(s) of the site were doing their best to create as many flame fests as possible - we all remember the CUSA threads which were created and constantly bumped by "Tedd", or how Franko was allowed to insult whoever he wanted or derail as many threads as he could muster.
All of that was an obvious attempt at boosting the site statistics (because that's what flame wars do, at least in the short term) - and the only reason you'd want to do that is to increase potential advertising revenue.
Just look at what
that did to amiga.org...
