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

Messing Around With Windows Server 2008

As some of you know by now, I've totally re-coded the LBT server's main script code, added some new features, and totally changed the design and layout.  Despite this fact, I feel somewhat...limited by my coding abilities.  Because of this, I've decided to try to teach myself Windows Server 2008.  So yeah, I'm testing it out and I'm getting pretty excited.  However, just a few minutes ago I crippled my entire network and the server crashed like a bomb.  It took 7 whole minutes to reinitialize it.  

I'm just saying that I can't trust the stability of my network while I'm testing out Windows Server 2008 so don't be surprised if it doesn't work when you try to go to my server.  If it's down, check back in a few minutes.  It doesn't take me long to reboot my entire network.

I am still working on coding the existing LBT server system that I created myself, but I'm going to try to switch to Windows Server 2008.  Once I get through college I might reboot my LBT server system project, but until then I need a system where most of the coding has been done for me.  I have big plans for the server and I can't do them with my existing system.

I'd show y'all my server code, but I sort of want to protect it if ya know what I mean.  But let me tell you...it's pages and pages long....thousands of lines of code. :lol When I'm coding my server, I get sooooooooo confused sometimes. :bang
