I dont care where its at, the users registered at UPCCC popup and start a flame war with to defend everything about it, strikes a big red flag to me. Especially considering the fact numerous times that their was no specific target being mentioned in those dicussions.
I'm beginning to take offence. When DJ, Scott and I started UPCCC it was as a private forum dedicated to collecting. We made the decision to open it up to help new collectors. We've seen some amazing collections grow on that site, I've made a ton of contacts and friends, and most importantly, I've had fun.
You shouldn't bring issues on one forum onto another, and you shouldn't drag every conversation down with baseless conspiracy theories.
Do you even understand anything about the way cards are printed? If so, you'd realise how silly your comments are. Note that YGO wasn't hit by a 'counterfeit' issue as such, so much as licensing issues. Mass counterfeit production on the scale you're suggesting is pretty much impossible.
C'mon, if someone wanted to make serious money, would they waste their time counterfeiting Pokémon rather than currency/stamps?
PS: I still miss that thread Scott! Good times
