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

Hey All,

A couple of weeks ago I was admitted to the Starcraft II Beta to test it for bugs, imbalances etc.  As recognition for my feedback, Blizzard has given me an extra beta key to give to a friend.  Since you guys are probably my best online friends, I figured I would extend the offer to the public...

With a beta key, you will get to play the game for free months before it's released, keeping in mind it's still not entirely balanced.  Beta keys have been going for almost 50-100 dollars on Ebay, so naturally I'm going on a first come first serve basis here so nobody fights over it  :angel .  Send me a PM or post here if you want it and I can forward the key email to you.

I would totally take you up on this if I had the time, dude!  :lol: Ah well, I hope you and whoever gets this key have fun! Be sure to tell us how the game is coming along!

I might be interested. Hmm. Is this legal? I've been a fan of StarCraft since the late 1990s. I've been waiting for the sequel for... about half of my life.  :lol

If it is legal, we should talk more. We can discuss this on a PM, if you want.

That's generous of you, though I have no interest in it myself :)

I got your PM. Thanks again!

EDIT: I dug up my 12-year-old copy of Starcraft, which I haven't touched since high school, but the code was still good. I'm downloading the Beta now, and should be playing it in a day or so.
