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

Changing Internet Service

You guys have no idea how much my job is going to be cutting out of my paycheck for benefits and taxes.  I got a small taste recently and have found that I won't be getting as much as I used to.  As such, I really have to drop quite a few things.  One of which is my current internet service.

My Internet & Cable combo costs way too much!  There's only so little I watch that airs on TV now so I really don't need my cable connection all that much.  As such, I'll be switching from Comcast to a high speed connection with CenturyLink.  It won't be as fast, but it'll still be more than I'll need plus it'll cost far less.

I officially will be making the switch tomorrow.  I'll be setting up the connection myself.  From there, after I make sure I have CenturyLink set up and it's working properly, I'll terminate my connection with Comcast.  I'll probably have to pay a pretty penny to cancel and all, but there's not much I can do about it anyways.

So yeah, considering things go well, I should have everything changed by tomorrow.

That's all for now.

See ya later! :wave

I just got off the phone with Comcast and found that due to me being under a special contract, there will be no termination fee. :D

I do have to return the equipment to a Comcast store ASAP.  However, one piece is in there really tight and I'm going to have to buy a wrench to remove it.  Aside from that, I just need a box to carry it all in and there's no shortage of free ones to get at my work.

If things go well enough, I should have it finished by the end of the week.

That's all for now.

See ya later! :wave
