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 number of the major gaming communities are boycotting this year's E3.  Why?  Check the video below.

See ya later! :)

It was from one of those I follow on YouTube.

Since they didn't provide a link, I used keepvid to download it. :)

That's a pretty good idea, I'll upload that video on my youtube channel as well.

Also to add on to this, there's another video I found which might be quite useful to spread around, about the origins of SOPA:

An update: Seems ESA has listened and pulled their support for SOPA.
