As of late you have been experiencing some security problems with AIM. There really are few options for you.
1) As with any insecure information software . . . delete it and move on to something more secure.
2) Continue to spam the forums with transcripts of chats you can't prove as truth and we can't prove as fake.
3) Ignore anyhthing on the topic of "Bans" or "Beta Versions".
In option one, you cause yourself a great deal of headache . . . for a medium our moderators should not be reaching you on. If these people are your contacts normally, I suggest a codeword which identifies the person as authentic. I have never had a problem with ICQ. AIM is weak, it should die.
In option two, you dramatically shorten the life of -=TIS=- on the forums. I don't like this option, you won't either.
In option three, you exercise a great deal of maturity and foresight. You see, Only the hosts of ESF, select team members, Cheesman and myself have the power and/or authority to ban you. IRC, Forum, site or Beta version . . . it's all the same.
Only the team or those who are carefully monitored can get the beta. I won't elaborate for security reasons, but if you obtain any beta, chances are that it's old or a doctored 2.0. We can trace every beta downloaded and every server created with it. So you may dismiss out of hand any such wild claim, it's clearly false.
In short don't rush to the forums and complain while torching the person who you thought it was. It will not be tolerated. CALMLY talk the situation over with the person in question. If that fails to stop it talk to someone with more authority on IRC or Forum PM.
Follow these rules and there will be no "gettin' rid of you."
And if I find out who's doing this they will be banned from everything for my headache!!! >_<
