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

Computer problem

Well, my computer recently just crashed so i had to throw it out and have to use an old much slower one for the time being. But, whenever i come to the GoF, some avatars and all signatures cannot be seen, or images posted up by users. This is also a problem on other forums and websites, such as this one game website, most of the game i can't use because half of the page's links/pictures for the game won't appear on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions for anything i could download or do to solve tis problem? or maybe it is just my computer that causes it, but hopefully not. :(

It might take a long time for images to show up if they are particularly large.  I would recommend using the firefox web browser to see if the page is really done loading when the text shows up.

I'm glad you fixed the problem.  Maybe that was the problem after all.
