Sorry for so late reply, I got too much busy last days.
Well, with "subject of lynching" I mean he's oftenly insulted by many members because of his attitude. The conversation on the screenshot you posted is the perfect exemple. If he thinks that those "fuckers", "pussies" are unable to run correctly a forum, why the hell does he log on that forum and continue being a member. And even in case he's annoyed, it was not an obligation to be so impolite.
Really, he's a good guy when you take time to have a conversation with him but ... He has this strange attitude to incur quickly people's wrath lol
And ... I remember perfectly that time on Ume's thread you spoke about when he posted a fake pre-release of Omega II and it pretty much recent.
He just screwed up making a fool joke on his site with that pre-release and came to HF to tell "Guys I am the only guy who has a pre-release of Omega II just Come to my blog to check, people with VIP statut will get it easy, blablabla..."
Some were to much excited, waiting for this game for years and I remember at this time news from Ume where too rare, then they bought a premium access to his site to get specialy this pre-release.
When they discovered it was a joke then he completely lost his credibility among many HF members. "Scammer", "lyer" ... They are some of insults I can remember because this story was too long and messages too wild xD
I didn't know him at time when HF was allowing DL's but he was pretty much appreciated for his threads and contribution ... But clear that now, he just log in many forums to promote his blog.
I remember through 2-3 years ago, TSR (HF Mod) just wanted to bann him (one more time because of a dispute on Ume thread and a shit related to his blog) hahahaha.
