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

What happened to my topic?

I had the topic in this category on the forum, then I got an e-mail saying Petrie85 replied to the topic, but I never got to see it because it's gone now D:
Anyone know what happened to it? I'm trying to get my videos out there :<

It was probably removed because of the title...

I removed it to the for review section where the other admins will check it out do decide whether it is acceptable for the GOF. The GOF is a community in which no discrimination on the basis of race, gender, any kind of stereotypes, sexual orientation etc. is tolerated. While the post was probably intended to be purely humorous I consider it too directly offensive to homosexuals to be accepted in the GOF and unless a majority of the other admins disagrees the post will not be restored.

fagot is a piece of wood, but faggot is a longstanding offensive term for people who are gay. we don't condone saying intolarable things about people based on sexual preference personal beliefs, relion etc. so we will not be putting the thread back up..

I'm not surprised that the topic will not be put back up. And personally I'm glad it's not.
