If memory serves me correctly, it all started with the Donations for items. But it escalated into more than that with several other servers at the time. MasterQ was effectiverly DDoS servers left, right and center, trying to make it impossible for other servers to run and at which point it was pointed out (How much of this is true, as we all know Richard is a compulsive liar). That MasterQ had hacked Richards server and stolen the server files he was using at the time, so he was banned and so was the server.
