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

A Year as a GOF Member (Starting May 2nd)

And two good years these have been for your joining the GOF Amy :D
No flattery intended, but you are awesome for having not just contributed to the GOF (often with a readiness to address sensitive but really interesting and important topics) but also you have started a lot on the GOF yourself (e.g. the whole ask me this section as well as the member appreciation thread) and for this I am really grateful to you :)

Second year actually. :3 I just used this old thread as my standard "anniversary" thread instead of posting a new one.

See, I thought you'd been here a lot longer! When I saw the thread name, I thought, "No....she's only been here a year?". Sorry bout that!  :bang
