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

I forgot to mention about this new hobby I've been doing for several months now.  I've become part of a group of artists at a site called JuniorGeneral.org, who create printable figures for games or classrooms.  The variety of styles can range from pre-history to modern day, from real to fictional.  I've been a bit slow, but I'm making good practice at it, even taking on a few big projects.  I'm not sure how to post pictures here, so I could only place a directory to my DA page, where I did a few.

An update!  So far, I completed a few historical projects for the site, and I've got a lot more to do.  Here's a list of what I did for historical purposes:

Operation Entebbe (Israeli & Ugandan soldiers.  I'm still on the hijackers & land vehicles)
WW2 US 92nd Infantry Division soldiers (colored)
WW2 US 442nd Infantry Division soldiers (Japanese-American)
WW2 US Code Talkers (Navajo, Basque, Meskwaki, & Comanche tribes)

Basically, the majority of my projects will currently be around segregated units of WW1 & 2, and Special Forces operations.  It's fun, as you learn something new about this kind of stuff.
