Bottom line is Maxamps is now a paid advertiser on rctech so naturally any anti Maxamps sentiment will be promptly removed to maintain cashflow and the status quo, that's been their business model for years, and I don't see it changing.
Don't be so quick to bash rctech.net, do a search, there are plenty of negative threads about maxamps on this forum, that have not been removed. My experience is that rctech tends to let people voice their opinions on products regardless of whether they are positive or negative, and more importantly, regarless of whether a company is an advertiser.

That said, don't get the idea that I am in ANY way defending Maxamps. I agree with most peoples' sentiments that they are way overpriced, and wouldn't dream of spending that kind of money on any lipo pack. Furthermore, I find the tactics that Maxamps has used in past to "silence" their critics (see URC debacle) despicable.
