I always thought Skunk was one of the better supported products in this community..

 

i bet its cause they made fun of GK and "forum ***s" in that video on their blog page.

 

Not sure exactly in their situation, but in general when a member represents a store or manufacturer and discusses things such as sales or something. If that violates the HT rules for "non-vendors", they can be banned. HT just wants paying vendors to freely speak about their products. If not a paying vendor, a member that represents a company is limited in what they can say so it doesnt violate the rules for sales and promotion on the site.
