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

For a while now, I've been increasingly interested in joining a war re-enacting or living history group.  But I have a bit of a dilemma.

I would really like to join a WW2 group, but the only such units here in AZ are the 1st SS (which I have no intention of joining for various reasons) and a possible Jewish Brigade Group (which may be on the opposite side of where I live).  So I've decided to create my own group where I live.  I wanted to create a group named from real units that have stationed here in AZ, and I found the only ones:  the 92nd and 93rd Infantry Divisions.

But here's the problem:  Both of these divisions are segregated all-black infantry forces, and I'm Caucasian.  Also, I really don't want to kick out anyone because of race or gender due to authenticity.  So I've come up with an idea to create several fighting unit names, plus medical units like the Army Nurse Corps or the WACs.  So we could take in any volunteers.  The only other "duh" issue is the need for money for authentic clothing & gear.

Anyway, are there anyone here who are familiar with this sort of thing or done it?  I could go with some pointers.
