I would like to say also I saw this previous post by this person:

I'll go ahead and add my $.02...I've seen saiyagohan bash AST and those who run it on other places on the internet. One of the biggest reasons I frequent this site, even though I don't post much and RL has gotten in the way of my Refit build (which IS still coming!!), is how exceptionally friendly everyone is. You've got my support, Xen, on the contest, RL, saiyagohan, and AST!
For the record, I have never bashed AST on any other site, I do not know who this Mac204 is,but I would like him to prove the allegations that he has made by not only showing AST these supposed bashes I've supposedly done. By publishing them word for word copied and pasted to AST from the sites he says they were posted on.
I have done nothing by be supportive and contribute when I was a member of AST, I have tried to help others and share with others. I valued my membership there. And I was accused of "stirring the pot". This person does not even know me and I sure don't know him.
It is as I have said before, I honestly believe no one likes me. As much as I seem to apologize, no one wants to show forgiveness towards me. Its a shame too because I have no ill will toward anyone. All I've ever wanted was to show my work, maybe make a few friends, enjoy this hobby, well Del can you see now why I want to give it up? This is just not about being recognized, it about having no one like you and being slammed by others and not being able to defend yourself.
Modeling is supposed to be fun, it stopped being fun for me for quit awhile now. What a person to do. I just don't know.

All Scale Trek
Well I have quite a bit to say concerning the All Scale Trek site. To start I have sent the following apology to the site Commander:
To whom it may concern,
Xen, I wanted to sincerely apologize to you, but I want to clarify what I said Below:

Well since the contest and rules has had exceptions made and extensions made to it, and people allowed to enter past the deadline and from what I saw on FB that some models were started 3 to 4 months before the contest even started well I say lets give the extention until November 1st or even December 1st. Then every contestant can finish their models. Hopefully by then RL hopely will be over and we can finally pick a winner. Not trying to be sarcastic or anything, just figure that it really isnt a contest anymore since allowances were made and rules were broken, so since we've come this far lets just go all the way. Sorry but this is how I feel and I do not want to upset anyone by what I'm saying here and if it does I'm very sorry.

I do not know you and I honestly was posting my feelings and in this response I mentioned no names or in any way was trying to "stir the pot", what I said was taken completely out of context. This is the first contest I have entered as a modeler in maybe 10 years or more. And the first contest on your site. When I saw the exceptions I'll admit I was a little upset, because usually when you have a contest usually there are no exceptions. And by me talking about Real life, I meant no disrespect by my statement or to you in any way.
What I meant was that if the deadline was extended that others would be allowed to finish and by November or December as I stated above, by saying that what ever was happening with the contest or yourself that it would hopefully have a good solution and good outcome and then we could pick a winner. I should of worded what I said better I'll admit but I meant no disrespect to you or anyone.on the forum. That is why I stated that what I said was my feelings and if it upset anyone that I was sorry. That was not my intentions.
I understand from what you said in your response that you don't have time to check out the builds, I saw Cannon Fodder's response on Facebook about the 850 Enterprise D when he posted his model pictures on one of the groups and he mentioned it about the guy building the 850 D starting his before the contest even started. I didn't mention names because I didn't want to stir the pot so to speak. I am just not used to contest where things are done differently.
I am sorry honestly, I wasn't trying to belittle you or the group. I just wanted to say I know about RL, I have had an aunt die, My Mother die, and have had problems with my kids, I could go on. I was just raised that when you may have problems to try and prepare for them, that what my Mom used to tell me growing up. I realize that everyone is different and I hope what ever is happening with you personally gets better. I going to include you in my nightly prayers.
I'm not expecting you to reinstate my membership, I would like to still be a member though if you will allow me to. But to be honest I have been judged my whole life by a lot of people. And I know a lot of people do not like me, and I'll be honest 8 years ago I had a lot of problems, my wife passed away and I was a very angry person for a long time when that happened, I took a huge break from everything because of that. I went to see a therapist and I have what Robin Williams commited suicide from. I have been on medicine ever since, and I have changed my life, gotten back into modeling again for the last couple of years now, but as much as a person apologizes no one really forgets what happened 8 years ago.
And I'm just not saying this for sympathy or anything just trying to be straight. I'm trying to give you a little bit about me. Please Forgive Me George
I was made to feel by the comment left by Xen as I was banned that I was putting the site along with the contest down. Well for the record since I wasn't allowed to respond because of the ban I wanted to say the following here. I really did value the site, and I am at a loss because as Slawton stated I did try to contribute and help others out. I really did enjoy sharing too. I am thankful I had at least one person saying I was a good member. And as for the other comment saying I had a problem on another site, this is trur, but it was because of a problem with a vendor, and it was resolved and I spoke with the head of the other site and if he thought I was in the wrong I would have been banned from there also. But I wasn't. I handled the situation well.
Anyway I am very sadened by this banning. I did value this site very much. And since I havent entered a contest here before and being the first in over 10 years I was not familar with the way things ran as far as contests. I will admit I was upset as I said in my apology to Xen, I didn't realize that members look out for others and helped others. I have always thought that when there are rules that there usually not exemptions, or extensiond. Or things being extended. I usually have been taught to go by the rules. As I said I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or mean, I was just expressing how I was feeling. I was upset when I posted what I did. I just wish someone could of explained to me how things were working so I would of understood better. Anyway I know that I screwed up, and I know that it probably cant be fixed. But for what its worth I'm truly sorry to all the members of All Scale Trek for this and I wish the best of luck to the members but most of all to whoever wins the contest. Thanks for listening George.
