I wasn't "conjuring up" a "fanciful reason." I agree that GAFF did refer to a lot of vile stuff, even though we were bashing it. My point was that there are 175,000 boards on Invision and they said that they aren't in the habit of reguarly checking boards for violations. The odds that one of their staff happened to check GAFF are very small. I'm suggesting that one of the trolls happened to check the updated TOS, thought "Hah, this'll really screw them over!" and reported the board.
