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

Update: Finding me is like finding Waldo :P

I'm sure my absence has been noticed both on these forums and on MSN. So where have I been?

Well, first of all, life has kept me busy (as usual) but there's also the factor that I'm in the process of moving south. To the Gulf to be precise. Some fifteen miles from Mobile Bay. I can go one way now and be in Florida, or the other way and eventually be in Mississippi.

I'm looking into getting a job working at a factory that builds airplanes (damn good pay, so I've heard w/ decent benefits :) .... if I can get it... ) And if I can get on with that job I can eventually get me a new vehicle and a cheap home. Then I'd be living like a king.

But I'm not there yet, and so for the moment, its a bit of a tussle. Me and my grandparents (who for the moment have taken me in) are staying at my Aunt Lee's house. I literally have to go out and sit in the yard to get even two bars of wifi (with a blanket over my head and my busted up laptop... dratted screen is sensitive to the sun ya know?... so I need to be in a really dark place to see what I'm doing :( )

I've been stuck in this miserable trailer park for the past two weeks helping my granpa fix up the trailer that they're moving into (having to gut the dratted thing, the floors and everything were rotted out from water damage...) and I've been wanting to go down to Dolphin Island for the longest (again, just a 15 minute drive from here) but well... I'm stuck :(... and literally bored out of my mind!

But anyway. I'm still alive.. and I'm still very much a part of this friendly little community. I just figured I needed to update y'all about it.

I'll be around! :)

Alright Brian.

Well at least you still got a home, even if it's not much!

You're bored? Can't you write some more stories or draw more drawings? :)
