Tynion: How can I possibly send people to a forum where they will be basically verbally abused
There goes our prospective co-operation and the possibility of gaining a siginificantly larger member base than what we have today. Oh well.

I'd just like to make a point on this, but first I need to put the original version which you edited for whatever reason.
Tynion: I don't think that shared forum thing will work
Tynion: You must understand my entire reason here
Tynion: I want to sell magazines and get money for my time

This, essentially, shows exactly what I was talking about. You were planning this behind the backs of the members, but more importantly the staff. Not only that, but the guy came across as a businessman rather than a new member. His intentions are clearly shown in the conversation you had with him, but they are not clearly shown in his posts. All he wanted was to make money.
On top of that, the guy said "my magazine which I'm bringing to Zelaron" and you later replied with "Hey dude, I've read your magazine, excited for the next issue" as if you had no idea what he was talking about.
The guy came across as an asshat, not as a new member that was joining the community. He came across as an asshat because you did not let us know of his intentions. Keep blaming us for it, but the members are not the ones at fault here.
