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

Also America's economy would suffer even more from loosing all these markets (if all the countries went bankrupt) than it suffers from the budged deficit right now. The closing of foreign investor's businesses in America would also be a serious blow.

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure which right-wing wackoes resigned. Who are they? The change of cabinett that was noted over here in the press was the replacement of (comperatively moderate) Colin Powell through (hardliner) Condoleeza Rice. It was interpreted as a signal that Mr. Bush is going to continue his "policy" from the last years.

Rice is not a hardliner, though she is something of a 'yesman". Ashcroft(the Attorney General) was the first to resign.
