you have gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick mate.
Basically there is a specific site which members were also using, which was setup as an unmoderated version of loc where we could chat about any old BS. This site was setup by members who were unhappy with what was classes as "tight" modding here, and was used by a number of us to basically post jokes and post other stuff, other members of the site were subsequently banned here after some things that happened (I am sure it will be announced shortly) and LOC took the step of asking people to discontinue their association with either site, this has been done by several users thus far.
It has only affected a couple of users in the whole scheme of things and the reasons they started to post on the other site, ie an unmoderated forum have been resolved by the LOC and so there is little value in using the other site other than to communicate with said banned members of LOC.
The reasons they were banned are between LOC and the members and I think this will be explained fully in a statement which is pending.
I do know the other site was sailing close to the wind with certain viewpoints aimed at members and moderators here on LOC and I can understand why LOC have asked its members to desist posting on there. I do hope that both sites do find a way to co-exist as the people on the other site are very nice chaps afterall as are the people here at LOC.
I cant go into more depth as I dont know the whole story around the reasons people were banned.
I hope this helps mate as I was in a similar situation to yourself yesterday.
Also I still bloomin cant get into the goldie thread .......
