I did not know HOD tried to undermine UKP. I will never go there then.
Yes since it started, the divine pimps ruled the roost on the forum that was most popular before UKP, pnet that I called pimpnet by the time I left and didn't like it when UKP started as a punters forum. They tried everything to undermine and destroy it including bribing willing punters to do pos reviews and defend them on here, a number of whom got banned, pricks. They even joined posing as punters more than once, after they got banned in UKPs early days when they joined legit originally.
On pnet I had long PM exchanges with them and they are real slimeballs in my view, happy to get pos reviews and feedback but didn't agree with getting negs,

Also they tried to bribe me with a free punt, and tried again after I caught them out lying about a WG working with them when she was in fact at LMP parties that day as I knew seeing as I was their. She said they often put her down as working without asking her.

I assume that has improved since. I told them on the open forum at the time to stuff their free punt up their arses, from then on they we had no dealings directly.
However, as reviews show they do have WGs who can offer punters a good service fortunately for them.
