I also have no problem with other distros using Arch as a basis, but the problem is that it causes a pretty big influx of newbies who have no idea how to configure and maintain Arch since they installed a one-click installer.
The devs have mentioned before that we want to attract serious, competent linux users, and this goal is in danger of being compromised when Arch is more or less directly associated with distros like ArchBang.
This also addresses Jelle's remark; do we want to keep having to redirect users back to the ArchBang forums? Since they get told there to come to ours. ;-)
That last paragraph is not unique to ArchBang, I remember a time when Ubuntu users were regularly (it seems) told to come check on the Arch forums....
