So yesterday was a bit unprecedented.
Due to circumstances already stated and discussed, we permabanned JayWood2010. We still stand by what we said and our stance is unchanged. Doesn't mean we don't wish him the best or want the worst for him. As well all know Jay is a guy that goes into everything 100% and ultimately has a vision for success. I'm positive that that will continue as he moves on.
After talking with Jay, we will unban JayWood so that he can say a final goobye. After that, he's off to his next project and futher adventures. If you wish to get in contact with him after that, whether it be posting on the forums, posting on his wall, or PMing him, VGChartz wont be the place. After this, he will be done with the site and move on. Again, this whole thing is unprecedented so we're willing to adjust so that the future of both parties can go as smoothly as possible.
So shortly after this, we will unban Jay and he can say his goodbyes. Please be respectful of the situation and users involved. I would appreciate that more than you can possibly know.

EDIT: As for the how and why:
The mod thread has all the answers when it comes to this.
More specifically here and here.
But again, this is not the thread to talk about the why. This is a thread to talk about what's happening going forward. ^_^
