Yes.

You are grasping for straws now. This logic does not hold water.
They do it because they know that they can get away with it. They
see that if anything is said that they will be protected because
the LC wants everything quiet and to appear to be running smoothly
no matter what is going on.

You aren't serious are you? Seeing how Hard Drive Cafe has
been around for about as long as Hall of Fame, I can not fathom
how you can make that statement in all honesty.
 
It has been my observation throughout the years that people will
always try to find an edge to win and the edge most of the time
involves cheating to some degree. I have witnessed ways to
cheat in some games by players that were truly ingenious. 
 
As for sysops, yeah most are honest and most have so much
to do keeping their boards updated and running smoothly that
they do not have the time to bother with cheating. I have only
known of a couple sysops that would actively and diligently
cheat to keep their boards on top.
 
That is not the issue here though. The issue here is when
cheaters or ways that are being used to cheat are pointed
out, the LC begins a stream of lies such as you are the one
cheating or you were booted out of a league for cheating.
They find that an easier route than taking the time or using
the energy to investigate.
 
I asked Rob weeks ago when he said we were booted out
for cheating, what we did that was considered cheating.
He never answered. He never answered because we never
did any cheating and we weren't booted out, we left.  
Exposing cheaters and cheating methods are not wanted in
corrupt leagues such as 33 and 777 and the way they handle
it is lying.
