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

What did you get for Holiday 2014?

I got in the rather nice haul this year. :yes

-candy
-$25 gift card to Barnes and Noble
-Hannibal season two on Blu-ray
-Mr. Peabody and Sherman
-X-Men Days of Future Past
-the complete series of Psi Factor
-A Bug's Life
-The Incredibles
-Up (thereby completing my Pixar collection on Blu-ray)
-the complete series of Mushi-shi
-Mad Men season seven
-Castle season six
-The Art of Planes book
-My family's coat of arms and history from the Historical Research Center
-Napoleon: A Life
-A Randy Boggs bobble head
-some ornaments
-a recipe book of Titanic's final day menus (includes all three classes)
-George Nafziger's new book The End of Empire: Napoleon's 1814 Campaign
-a model of a 1930 Pierce-Arrow Model B
-a so far unrevealed mystery present from my dad that hasn't arrived yet
-and my so far favorite gift: a very rare and limited edition biography of Errett Loban Cord

Bonus Gift: This is quite possibly the best non-family gift I've ever received, but I've also been invited to the hiring fam of a MAJOR tour operator in January! I quite literally made the 1% of applicants who get invited to this part (out of 2,000 applicants), so I am thrilled, humbled, and just amazed that I managed to make it this far in their process!

Wow, Cal! You had quite a haul of Christmas presents, and even better, some *very* good luck in your job hunt, Plus a mystery present ahead from your dad. You have every right to be happy and excited! :yes

I'm happy for you. I'm glad you had a great Christmas.

~Phone,not sure what type it is exactly but it is an Andorid of some type.
~Money
~Make up and perfume-don't normally wear make up to be honest,but I guess every girl needs at least some make up :lol
~Lindit Chocolate..I'm going to enjoy this all by myself.
~A baking thing,cause I do love to bake. It's called Cake Pops,it's pretty much cakes on stick. (Thanks,Zimba)
~Some horse gear,such as a new halter,saddle blanket etc.



I'm happy with what a got,I'll rather have a couple of well thought out gifts then lots of random gifts.

Oh yeah also got a bottle of wine,as it's tradition among my family. When you turn 18 the Christmas you are 18 you get a bottle of wine. Never understood why,but oh well.

Great to hear about the possible job, Cal! :DD I hadn't heard from you in awhile, so was wondering what was up.
Come check out my new Youtube gaming channel, Game Biter!

Littlefoot: "Look, Chomper. You're uncle is dead, and it's just right for your friends to be there for you. You'd be there if someone we know died, right?"

Chomper: "Well, sure I would!"

Come give my LBT TV Series fanfiction, PAST-O-RAMA, a read!
