Well, if you're that thick, you don't deserve to own a forum anyway.

Wait...what?

You're calling him thick because he recieved a PM from a Brandon impersonator?

Sounds like you're the one that's thick.

That one guy
Another course of action you can take additionally is to send a Support Ticket with the details of the impersonation. By providing IF with those details, you can help them to track down and take action against those committing that deed.

Other than that, thank-you for the warning, but I'm going to close this topic. :)
