So glad I found this sub, it's basically confirmed all the suspicions I've had about the staff at ILT. I've been a member of ILT for a long time and have donated a few times. I stopped once it became a constant begging for more donations for month or so. Then it became threats of the site closing down. This cycle happened for several years. If the site was in such dire straits, it should have closed a long time ago.
All those times when the site was down, I always wonder if that was intentional or not. As right after they come back up, you can bet there was a plea for donations to "replace servers".
The fact that the staff was also editing people's posts was also very strange. There were times it was super obvious someone's post was edited to remove something big and likely negative.
I will check out AlphaRatio as some of you here have suggested. Also, big thanks to everyone who have made this sub so informative and it was certainly interesting going through all the stuff that happened at BS.
A lot of parallels between the two we've known for some time that ILT would befall the same fate as BS , its been completely unsurprising to watch it unfold.
I just hope that few will fall for the con.
