I have posted over at PriceScope myself for a couple of years. Shockingly, all of the recent pearl threads have been deleted. I read most, if not all, of Jeremy's recent posts there and they were all were very informative and he always clearly identified himself and his company.

What I find very interesting is that every few weeks or so someone will begin a thread about conflict diamonds or how overpriced and common diamonds are, that sort of thing. Those are never banned. Some fairly heated discussions occur too. So, you wouldn't think, on the surface, that a discussion of akoya vs. freshwater and their relative merits would bother them.

So, who is behind the site? I'd love to know too.
