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

Shaq has won 3, while he is one of the all-time greats, He's not the person I'm thinking off. Besides, he's still active (hint Hint)

Armin Vambery? From what I read this orientalist was not as a character an inspiration for Dracula, but he told Bram Stoker of many of the legends around Vlad Dracul thereby giving him an inspiration for the novel.

For the sake of reviving this thread I'll just take over:

I came from Caledonia across the ocean to the new country where I should gain fame through my Common Sense.
