Hey guys I don't want to hijack here, but do want to clarify, we actually did make a public statement on the site about why we removed FastBuds from the AFN (it was a host of things to be honest, they were trying to stiff our members on the prizes from the film contest they hosted, they were messaging our members trying to solicit them to another forum (multiple reports and even screen shots of this,) and then the incident with that particular IG account.) We tried for month after month to contact the owner of FastBuds (they rejected all of our e-mails, I had to use my personal Gmail account to get someone to respond,) they admitted of a fault and asked us if they publicly apologized to AFN using that IG account, if we would take down our quite pointed statement about it. The IG account actually DID apologize, so we removed our public post. A few days later, that IG account took down the apology post for some reason. We decided to remove FastBuds *before* that incident with their IG account went down; that was just the last nail in the coffin for us.
A few quotes from my e-mails with the owner from FastBuds:
So they shirked any wrongdoing with a rep they admittedly hired (they endorsed that account on AFN right before we tossed them lol,) but they admitted
of the wrongdoing.
I encourage all of you to grow what you want; this shouldn't be some "taking sides" thing, but that's what went down, that's why we won't have them back, and honestly, why I would never professionally or personally recommend them as a company.
