Got so bad, the Administrators had to ban all such blather.

And that's hardly the only conspiracy theory that's had credence here, just one of the wackiest.

Everything weighted evenly over the years, I'd have to say calling this a "conspiracy theory site" is a bit of a stretch, if not highly inaccurate. But it's not like this place hasn't given some memorable reasons to warrant being looked at askance.
