Um... pretty nebulous statement. What is this about? Tinker Different being sued or something?

No, nothing like that.

Okay, but then why? Having a regulated Vendor area was supposed to be a plus for this forum/community, right? Is there anything to be said about the "unforeseen circumstances"?

Thank you for the management. I just learned about it for the first time, but it may become appropriate when you think about fairness...
Regarding my "Kero's Mac Mods", will create a new post in the Hardware section and move the content there.

I would agree. This isn't exactly very transparent. If there's a good legal reason why you can't then I get that, but if there isn't, I think people would like to know.
