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

I've been a little curious. I've been looking around and in the topic here, but I've never found the Mr. Threehorn title picture anywhere. Does it even exist anymore? I'd just like to learn a little more about this.

I've never seen any members with that title, and I've looked up the forum leaders. Was there a particular member you got that from?

The icon is associated with members who are of "Moderator" Status.  The Gang of Five currently does not have any "moderator"s as our staff consists entirely of "admin" ranks.  This is why you will not see Mr. Threehorn anywhere on the forum at this time.  A year ago you would have seen the Mod image next to my name (which was in bright green) before I became an admin.

A year ago, as far as I was concerned, there wasn't an LBT fansite on the entire internet, and I didn't lurk as long as I usually do before I join boards I'm interested in. So, no, I've never seen that picture untill today. I figured that was the case, because I noticed there wern't any global moderators around here. Well, thanks for y'all's help!

Nope no mods anymore.  All former mods have proven themselves and are admins now. :) :)

Hehe.  I never even thought about a mod having an different pic.  I knew that there were mods at one time, but I wasn't here when Action was still a mod.  Pretty cool pic actually. :D

I might actually have to create a 10,000 post level since there is one who is going to probably reach it in the not too distant future and has a pic that changes.

I didn't know Threehorn had a changing gif avatar. :unsure:
