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

Bechuanaland? Nowadays known as Republic of Botswana? There also was a country called Bophuthatswana (much more similar to Botswana), but it belongs to South Africa now.

No, but you're in the right region. Go East of Botswana, and You'll find the country I'm looking for.

Zimbabwe? I've seen it spelled as Simbabwe as well, but had always thought this to be a matter of language.

Nope. I made a mistake. The Country I'm looking for is near Congo, to the East.

Nope. I doubt not many little men from England caused fuzz and changes, but England is not little from the European point of view.

Look to the middle of the middle.

Not Cyprus, but you are looking in the right region. Remember the little man. Anyone knows him.

Getting closer, but could you name a little man from Malta who caused so much fuzz and change that anyone knows him? I couldn't.

Oh gee, you are so very close and still missed.  :P:
The little man is really Napoleon. He did not come from Elba though. He was just banished there for about a year, until he decided to return, which led to the rule of the 100 days and the battle of Waterloo. I've been on Elba three times. And I have also been to that other island I want to hear about the island Napoleon came from. Give me that island and the next question is yours.

A town of two names. One ought to be weary not to use the wrong name in the presence of the wrong person for it might bring you in serious trouble.
