I am(was?) a member there. I saw where this happened and deleted all of my photos and info from the site and deleted the bookmark from my computer.
Here is the moderators statement from the "public ban list" thread:
"Ola Englund is gone permanently. He was asked to post his clips in the proper place, and responded with a quip about not posting to the site anymore. He got his wish.
I'll miss his clips, but honestly the guy was only here to promote himself and ignored user questions, so :wavey:"

All of that is utter bullshit.
I can't find an instance of him ignoring user questions, in fact I'm seeing quite the opposite. I didn't find any unanswered questions in his threads or profile comments. The moderator's statement is a blatant lie. Ola replied to literally every single question.
All of his videos appear to be in the most appropriate categories. The amplifier ones are in "gear and equipment" and the recording tutorials are in "recording". I don't see what categories could possibly be more appropriate, or how the categories they are in are so inappropriate.
Here are all of his threads:

I see why Ola replied with a "quip". He was being harassed for no reason.
The moderator responsible was just given moderator status a couple days ago. I can't go there with one such as him banning the exact kind of people the site needs more of to save it from what it has become. All of the people who made up what was good about the site are all gone.
Apparently they are banning people for excessive awesomeness now.
