You have some misinformation here. As a (rather civil) member of RRT, let me try to clear some up.

Red shilled Sidewinder Computers, Jab-Tech, and Bitspower while bad mouthing every other company and vendor for a while, about a year ago. XS staff asked him to stop, and he did for 2 weeks. The ban hammer was swung, and he spawned his own site, his username with .com at the end. I left it out so this site wouldn't turn up in a google search. I bet you guys can figure it out.
He's a bit of a narcissist, so he would search for himself on google.
Google found you anyway.
Red is an LC fanatic. His best experiences have been with Sidewinder and Jab-Tech. Naturally he would promote them. His one personal bad experience, that I'm aware of, was with Performance-PCS. He was vocal about the experience. As for bad mouthing every other company and vendor, that is a gross exaggeration. FrozenCPU and Performance-PCS are the two primary vendors Red has campaigned against. As for companies, I can't think of any. There was of course the bout with Primochill over their faulty T3 reservoir, Skinnee's heinous testing of said reservoir, and the XtremeSystems senior staff's questionable support of it. That doesn't stop Red from using and speaking highly of PrimoFlex Pro LRT tubing; a different product of Primochill. There was AquaTuning of course, but Red isn't alone in that campaign; half the internet was up in arms over their fraudulent business practices. Other than that, it has been individuals, not companies, that have drawn Red's fire.
Myself, I love Sidewinders and Jab-Tech. But I also love Caseking.de, IT-Service.be, Angela.pl, and ChilledPC.co.uk. Performance-PCS has
twice shipped me the wrong products, so I no longer deal with them at all. When there's an ocean involved, time and money add up fast, so I expect accuracy in my orders.
Red was banned from XtremeSystems because he refused to sit down and shut up, as he was told to do. Thus began his vendetta (and that's what it is) against the XtremeSystems senior staff. It has at times been a very vulgar exchange, and those exchanges have been propagated by others who feel as strongly as Red on a number of issues. The vendetta might have died out by now
if XtremeSystems would
just stop providing fuel for the fire.

His site was spawned, without rules or reason. Blatant KKK support, anti-Jewish hate speech, and in general, anti-non-white hate speech there.
All I can say to this is, "wow". Where are you getting this?
The rules of RRT:
Rule #1 - Anything goes... (other than Personal Attacks, Continuous Flaming, Spamming, Registration of More Than One Account, Sexually Explicit Pics, Discussion of Sexual Crimes, Discussion of Criminal Activity/Enterprises, Mentioning of Illegal Drugs, Spam Attacks on Other Sites, DDOS Attacks, TROLLING and Inappropriate User Names)
Rule #2 - NO ES CPU SALES OR MENTION OF USE, PERIOD...
Rule #3 - No soliciting of Sponsorship on this forum from Preferred Vendors of this forum. No linking to Non-Preferred Vendors. No For Sale or For Trade threads or posts, outside of FS / FT sub-forum.
First, the site has rules like any other. Second, it's a place beyond XtremeSystems to discuss water cooling and life in general without fear of moderation. But the site is not for children, or emotionally sensitive types. Dialogues are blunt, with no regard for feelings, often containing a litany of vulgar speech. But racist? You've got to be kidding me.
Blatant KKK support? Some of the key members, including some staff, are african-american. Red himself is a white, rap-loving God-fearing Texan in the construction industry (so he's rude, that's for certain). This isn't the 1950s though. The type of racism you're talking about just does not exist in him. Anti-jewish? What makes the jewish populace so special? They have as much right to be insulted as the rest of the religious rainbow. The deal is: RRT does not do sensitivity. If you're easily offended, RRT is NOT the place to be. If someone thinks your religion is stupid, they have the right to say so. It isn't a kindergarten. I am very much anti-christian. I have been at odds with Red on numerous occasions. But it's just religion. It's only when you start getting personal that there's a problem.
RRT is multinational and multicultural. Stereotypes are funny. Political Correctness is BS. But racism? Hate? Absurd.

There's a sub-forum on there that supposedly has Fugger's, half a dozen XS admin/mods, and half a dozen watercooling forum regulars' home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers in it. They (Red minions) follow those users to new sites they register to and harass them there.
Wrong. The information is limited to home addresses and real names, and exists in no single forum. It is spread out in random threads, on an individual basis. I have been a member for two years, and never have I seen any email addresses, phone numbers, or credit card numbers.
The names and addresses listed are typically those of known scammers -- lowlifes who have conned others out of money or hardware through fake FS/WTB threads. Scumbags who truly deserve to be tracked down and beaten. I do think Fugger's name and address are on the forum somewhere, but it's unrelated, and that isn't exactly privileged information. Anyone can dig it up.
RRT members do not
stalk people across the web. There have however been two instances of forum raiding, where members have signed up at a site just to troll an existing member of that site (see "Ira-K" at OCN).
And, anyone who's ever done business with Ian has his address. I personally had a good experience with Ian, so I harbor no negativity towards him.

Looks like Red and his minions really did go through with their rumored DoS attack on XS.
Most of RRT's members don't have the knowledge or interest required to engage in DDoS attacks. Those who do are too few. There has been nothing malicious there, nor any discussion of such actions; XtremeSystems is simply prone to server outages. Seriously, that's all there is to it. The outages do provide for some slight amusement for Red whenever they occur though. Wherever you heard the rumor, it was probably just paranoia.
And finally, the question of Sidewinder's involvement with RRT which has been the latest thing.
RRT is a water cooling forum. Sidewinder is a water cooling vendor. A subforum was created for Sidewinder, like many other vendors on many other forums, where people can ask questions regarding water cooling products sold by a vendor/manufacturer. This hardly qualifies as endorsement or support for RRT on behalf of Sidewinder. Sidewinder also have no active participation in advertisement
of Sidewinder
at RRT. The banner you see in the upper portion of the site is NOT sanctioned by Sidewinder. Nor does the banner belong to Sidewinder. It is a similarly-themed logo created by RRT and linked to Sidewinder. The "New Products" subforum for Sidewinder is simply the automated process of an ordinary RSS crawler. Again, no involvement on Sidewinder's part.
The same goes for Bitspower and Jab-Tech. There have never been any advertisers at RRT. Red pays for the hosting and bandwidth himself, such is his loathing and contempt for XtremeSystems.
