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

Behave.

Yes, its the b word.  :lol:  The mice will play when the cat is away, and all those other cliched fun sayings.  Next time you'll see me is August 5th so report all issues/questions to other admins besides me otherwise you'll be waiting a while. :P:

I hope you have a fun time and a pleasant trip! Where will you be heading, anyway?

I went to New Hampshire on Hampton Beach (their 18 miles of coastline).  Was a fine trip save for Friday when we went to the beach and its 95 or so plus humidity.  One of our crew passed out for a few seconds, and I came really close to doing the same.  :o  A little too much time in the sun.

Tsk tsk. Look what air conditioning has done.

Also, welcome back! :wave

What A/C?  House has none, car has none, and plus my allergies are really bad whenever it doesn't snow, so I can't handle A/C at all.  I'm better with no A/C so I'm very tolerant of not having it.  I think it was severe dehydration that might've been the problem even though I was drinking water the time I was out in the sun.

Then what could it have been?

I'm also quite independent of A/C, as the A/C in our car got busted, and I prefer to not use the A/C in my room (despite the fact I sweat bullets at times during the 90 odd degree temperatures out there), as it's clumsy, and turning the knobs hurts my fingers, as they are stiff and require a lot of force to be put into it. I've really scratched up my fingers with that thing! I just like the heat, I guess.
