I would like to sincerely apologize for recent cyberattack against BrickLink.
On Wednesday, November 1st, while visiting family in New York City, I ordered
two slices of pineapple pizza from Gaudio's Pizzeria & Restaurant on 30th
Avenue in Queens. Unfortunately, little did I know that this pizzeria is owned
by the Italian mafia, who were insulted by my choice of topping. During the interrogation,
I confessed that I had been brainwashed by the Pizza Gang, and I gave them the
link to Nubs_Select's About Me page. However, they were not satisfied with
the list of active members, and they decided to take revenge against the entire
BrickLink community.
I understand that the scammers cost buyers thousands of euros and the downtime
cost sellers even more. I also understand that the damage to BrickLink's
reputation cost far more than the attack itself. Finally, I understand that the
emotional hardship created by being unable to check the forum every five minutes
is beyond words, perhaps even worse than mustard withdrawal.
I promise that I will never again order pineapple on pizza. As an apology, I
am offering free feedback to everyone who places an order in my store.
I know that the past week has been extremely stressful for those whose lives
revolve around little plastic building blocks. If you require emotional support,
please contact the help desk. They are always very responsive and supportive.

I feel like you are the guy who has bought mob pizza and caused problems before.
At some point you need to stop apologizing and start trying harder.
Are you familiar with Gaudio's? I know that place well, I grew up in the
area.
