Lock it down and call it a day...
When/If Gill posts on this forum, no doubt he'll make a new thread anyway.
Oh joy just what we need more advertising spam

Well, maybe this thread should be locked. I don't think it should be deleted, as people might want to see both sides of the story, but continually rehashing it does little good.
((bear with me as I lay out two examples))
If Gill is an honest business person and has effectively communicated with his clients, and the people that are [censored] about him here are simply trolling - this thread should probably be locked.
If MMOART is using this thread solely to 'drum up business', then this thread should be locked.
If people have given money to MMOART and received no product... and no communication, then this thread needs to be locked (so as not to provide future 'advertising' to the company in question).
If this turns into a simply hate-fest (and so far I'm not sure it has... but at times it seems close), then this thread should be locked.
Basically, with Gill rarely posting on these forums, I'm not sure why this thread needs to continue (especially in its current form).
I would however love to see him back as an active member of the forum and the community.
For those that lost money through MMOART, I'm about to be a bit heartless (and please remember that I tried to help out last time) - but that is your loss. Whenever you buy things online - and pay all of it up front - you run the risk of losing your money. Unless there is some safeguard mechanism/process involved, ALL should be wary of giving money directly to a company online - especially a small private one (looks at his own website and whistles innocently).
I wish the best for all involved - but I don't see how this will end up well.
