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

Early Black Friday!

For those not in the know, Black Friday is THE biggest sales day of the year.  The reason for this is that it's the one day of the year you can expect stores, both local and online, to have items at the lowest price ever throughout the year.

That alone, you can imagine just how insane it is in stores at that time of year.  This sort of thing usually occurs on the day after Thanksgiving.  However, this year, 2010, stores will be starting it November 5th at 6:00 a.m. to November 6th. (11:59 p.m. being the latest, but most will end by 9:00 p.m.)

Also, LOWES, this ending hours ago, allowed their Facebook Friends to get 90% off coupons that could only be used for these two days.  WTF!?

The normal Black Friday will still occur on it's usual day, but if you REALLY want a great deal, now's your big chance.

If you guys don't mind, I'm going to need to rest up for these great deals.  Have to get the Christmas Shopping done early with my new nephew on the way and this is the perfect opportunity.

See ya guys later! :)
