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

Happy Birthday Saft!

Hey, Saft. Sorry this is a month late, but I thought you deserved a nice star day present: :)


Just a message to hopefully prevent confusion among others on the GOF: It's not Saft's birthday again! It's just me being late with a star day card again! :p

Oh, if I had more than one birthday I would be pretty old.
Thank you Pangaea for the starday gift.  I especially like the lion; so realistic yet slightly cartoony.
And I noticed that you included two other favourite animals of mine.;)  
Thank you very much.:)

You’re very welcome. :) I’m so glad to hear you liked it.

Yep, I tried to make a card that would suit your interests, hence the lion, little owl, and platypus. :smile The lion is actually based on one of the lions at the zoo near where I live (with different colors, which ended up being a little brighter than I had hoped); I used a photo of him as reference.

How do you like the text? I recalled reading in the “Favorite Colors” thread that you don’t like bright colors, and that your favorite is dark blue. So I used shades of blue for your name, and fairly subdued, earthy colors (like the color palette for the TLK lions) for the rest. I’m a little unsure how it turned out, though.

Again, I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the card. :^.^:
