The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Henry Heimlich, the guy who came up with the life-saving Heimlich Maneuver, died yesterday.  He was 96 years old.

This one will be missed, but never be forgotten.

I remember the case from earlier this year where he actually (for the first time) got to personally save a choking person by using his technique.  His medical contribution will certainly not be forgotten by history or the thousands that it has saved over the years.


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

96 is a damn good run for anyone. A man who invented a procedure that's saved lives deserved a good run like that. RIP
