Who (if anyone) was responsible for "killing FAS"/causing Matt to lose interest in the site to such an extent that he neglected to renew the domain name? Below are some of the early nominees from various boards. If you have additional nominees/culprits you would like added to the poll feel free to submit them. 
*yes, its all about increasing the page views and Alexa ranking, and threads like this are a very cheap way of doing that. :blinkie: :blinkie: wombat poo poo did I just say that? :blinkie: :blinkie: *
Early nominees:
1. Bowlady and Visarts (also known as Bowlegged and Vicious):
"Bow & Visi did it"
"my theory is that it was due to Bowlady and Visarts, and not Wagglepop"
2. BBH (also known as The boinking Bears):
"The guy has just up and vanished! It was probably something YOU said to him that made him mad! Way to go! " --note: odds are this comment is in reference to our comments to the FAS owner in May after Sundance and XPPMan received warnings from the FAS owner, and our comments in June after Sundance was banned.
3. Wagglepop (also known as Ray Romeo)
" Why do I have the feeling Wagglepop is to blame for all of this. All of the silliness that came out of it..."
4. The Plum Wars (also known as the original mudslinging thread)
" My other theory has to do with plum wars."
5. eBay (also known as the conspiracy theory)
"- I think I figured it our btw - EBAY broke FAS and all other talk spots to keep us from only using them for SOME of our business!"
6. Who Really Gives A boink Anyways?
"All of this speculation and "where's Matt" crap is just stupid. Go out and get some fresh air. You won't die from lack of posting."
7. All of the Above

edited: most of the info on FAS is replacable, but I am glad FAS was created!
The Wagglepop section could have been removed/archived/whatever a long time ago, and it wasn't. He said he had big plans for the current FAS, and we never saw anything. 
I don't mean to be critical, 
and I know he's a very busy guy. Maybe he just tries to do too much. So...we'll just see what happens when Matt is back from vacation. 
Poor guy. So BBH, it's all your fault!
