Long story somehow shortened (with info gathered since I joined this community)
Babak is the original creator of Babiato forum. He partnered with AndyKim (new name tanierlyons)
After a tumultuous adventure almost ending with Babiato being definitively closed last year in fall cooperation between Babak and Andy got cold and TassieNZ decided to step in to keep this community going.
See https://babia.to/threads/major-announcement.80743/
So AndyKim decided he won't give up so easily and bought .tech domain to try and continue with a previous backup of babiato.
A little backstory about practices of AndyKim and his newly appointed co-admin recently known as MrSam_1 (previously KobraHek)
Since 1 image worth 1000 words I will show you some images (I just hope @Babak won't mind for sharing this)
AndyKim (a discussion with Babak after I found some suspicious codes in multiple scripts)
Who is his co-admin? Well, this is going to get interesting. As you may know Xenforo generates an unique ID for every user (it's actually incremental ID at the moment of registration). No matter how many times you change your name that ID remains unchanged.
So if you access for example
You can see that number in page link also if you hover with your mouse a member's name it will appear in bottom left corner (at least in chrome) as you can see in attached images
Now if we look at the reason of this member ban issued by Babak (It should be also in long list of members banned)
Isn't it funny that MrSam's ID is exactly the same as this user's above thinking that up to 180k users tech site have same user database? (see bottom left)
And who is member with id 990 aka X--MEN who sent those emails?
His full ban reason:
That's the team to rule tech domain of Babiato and either way they will try by any means possible to drive away members from Original Babiato (which currently runs under babia.to address) so my advice to you is to report those emails as spam/unsolicited email and just block the sender.
I personally wouldn't want to deal with people like these and I would suggest you to do the same.
I hope this clears many of your incertitude and question about how to deal with .tech domain of babiato

His full ban reason:
fraud, as well as signing up other member's for hosting plans. After receiving the money this user stopped responding.
