There are positives and negatives; I'll elaborate below.

LOL. If only you guys who come up with stuff like this would spend a minute or two applying some logic, you might not make yourself look so silly.
Why would we want to suppress potentially negative information about poker sites that don't even advertise with us? If that's how we operated, shouldn't we be promoting threads like this, maybe making them a sticky, so people go to the sites that advertise with us instead? If your thought is that we just want to make online poker in general look good, then why are there literally thousands of threads on our forums that are highly negative, but untouched? If we wanted to make this thread go away, why not just delete it? (More on that in a moment.) And why would I be in this thread, encouraging people to post statistics so we can get to the bottom of this? As for the banning of the OP, I'm not sure what that would help - he had already posted his stats. Not much more "damage" he could do. Your weird conspiracy theory, or whatever that is, isn't especially well-founded.
Now, I mentioned that this thread could actually just have been deleted. In fact, that's actually what happened. A moderator from another forum "OTB&C"ed the OP. That stands for "One Touch Ban & Clean", and is a simple way to ban someone and delete all their posts - it's reserved only for very new posters, most often spammers, but sometimes a situation like OP with a disposable or fake email address, things of that nature. Whether the OP posted something in another forum that inspired the mod to check his registration info, or whether it was this thread, I couldn't say. But I noticed the thread had been deleted about 4 hours after it happened, and restored it.
If you still feel there is something amiss with the way this thread was handled, feel free to start a thread in the "About the Forums" forum, which is where threads like that belong, so we can get back on track here. If you do, you're welcome to link it here.

Exactly.

Yes, in general, poker site issues belong in IP. There is some crossover, which can make it tricky at times. Once in a while, a site-specific thread that is considered "big news" is allowed to remain in NVG; admittedly, this can be a bit subjective.

Definitely more views in NVG, but as you may be alluding to, are they helpful views for a thread like this?
This comes back a bit to my initial response to Kanaxis. One thing about NVG, is you get a high noise-to-signal ratio; a whole lot of people that want to chime in, but perhaps not always with useful information. Also, I question whether there are many regular Party Poker players that read NVG but don't read IP. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a larger number of regulars that read IP and not NVG, but I can't say for certain. However, I have what I think is a solution...

I still think this thread belongs here, because it's where our most regular online players are going to be. But we need more data, so I think it's important to get this thread as much attention as possible. With that goal in mind, I've created a new thread in NVG, directing people over here for data, and hopefully staying there if they just want to engage in more LC chatter.

Also, I would encourage people who regularly participate in strat forums and other places here where Party regs are interacting, to encourage them to get involved in this thread. However, I'd caution against starting 10 more threads in different forums, and instead suggest there may be existing threads where this info would be appropriate, or if you think a standalone thread is appropriate, maybe check with a mod of the forum(s) in question before doing so.
