I agree. The name of the site should NOT have been removed if the reason given was "non-payment of advertising", thats rediculous.
Unless there are other reasons as mentioned above (legal proceedings etc) - it is contrary to the whole point of an open forum. Unless your point was derogatory or potentially deformation of character it should not have been removed.
So are Bristol, Oxford, OBA, Aerofan, FTE, EFT paying for advertising just to retain a positive thread??!! Come on PPRUNE, let the industry work itself out - dont canalise wannabes to where YOU want them to go!
