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

An apology

Hello.
I feel I owe some of you an apology. I was hardly around at the Gang of Five for about a week and by doing so neglected responding to some posts which I'm afraid require quick responding. I'm sorry.
Part of my absense is not to be blamed on me (last week I was down for a few days being really sick for the first time in many years and apart from that there is still a whole bunch of work for universtiy and an internship I'm having right now to cope with) but some of it was for no other reason than my own sluggishness. I'll try my very best to catch up with the responding to the posts most of which I haven't yet read.

Heh, you with no time and me with no computer.  :P:  You're hardly the only one who hasn't gotten around as often as they feel they should have.  Don't fret--we're not going anywhere.

Why is it I always think that when people go away for long periods of time I think the worst has happened?  :huh:

I don't know, sometimes I get the exact same feeling.

I will be gone all this upcoming week and won't be back until next Saturday.  I'm going to visit some friends in California.
