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

Introducing the smallest pieces of art.  They are worth thousands of dollars and so small, that you can only see them under a microscope.

The following pictures of these works were taken with a camera that can zoom in to the microscopic level.

Oh and yes, these are real. (Note: The scroll arrows aren't working, just move the bar on it.  Something's screwy with this webpage.)

Wow!  Who knew something so small was worth so much?

I've heard about microscopic paintings and think such and microscopic carvings are wondrous.  Especially that people even can do such things.

I've heard of this too. It takes a very unusual personality with very rare skills to be able to make such works. Simply astounding.

That is awesome! :o I can't believe how he gets details in those disney figures :D .. (I mean seriously, tink?)

I bet it's worth a lot, because there must be a lot of time necessary to make one of those things.
