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

1 Year Since I Returned

While this April marked my 11th year of first joining the GoF, 1 year ago today was the day I decided to return and become active again. I had a good amount of doubts on how long I was going to last but it looks like I managed to surpass my 1 year goal. So now I guess I'm good to leave?

Kidding. :p

Now that I'm passed a year I don't really have another milestone planned. I've proven to myself that I retain interest in the GoF and LBT in the longer term, even if I'm not the most active person around. I'm confident enough to believe that I'll be sticking around for a while this time around.

I also want to thank everyone who has supported me with my drawing throughout the year with your feedback and comments. I wasn't sure if drawing was going to be just a passing novelty and while I've slowed down on my art lately I'm happy with how steady I've continued drawing. To think I was afraid to colour, shade, and deal with backgrounds a year ago. I feel I've come a long ways in improving and I hope to continue with it in the future. You guys are the best! :DD
