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

My absence and apology

In this day and age, when we think of love and tolerance... we immediately think of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. However, when I think of tolerance I quickly think of YOU folks here at the Gang of Five forums.

I know as a Mod for the Role Play section which I enjoy so much I have obligations, but honestly while I do keep an active eye on these forums I feel horrible about not contributing as much as I would like to. And of course I understand that issues in the real world come first, but I still feel like I am keeping myself mute for no good reason. But the truth is, I am slowly weening myself from the internet. But still that is no reason not to respond to this site. I honestly have to thank Nick22 because without him, I would forget to keep my eye on this site at all! His reminders to me have allowed me to check in and observe the goings on month to month. I owe him and all of you in the RP section a great deal of apology for my lack of input, although in the honest truth of things I am proud to see that even without my input the section is still alive, well and gaining new members all the time.

On a confusing and naturally curious question: I thought there were three Admins for the RP section. Does anyone know what happened to Aves?

I think Aves is busy with his RL projects, that is the last I heard way way back when.

Some of the new members are running rp's themselves, jumping right in a bit after they joined here.

Aves and gustav were added at a time when the section was more active than it is now. we added kor because the activity warranted 2 mods but not 3. hence the decision to keep you  and add kor. aves stepped down at the end of last year , as did gustav. in both cases real life kept them from being active.
Winner of these:

If you are very busy in rl, not a lot you can do about that.  That does have to take precedence, as you mentioned.  Nice to see you here.

Should we get a new RP mod to make up for it? Serris has been a very upstanding member and had GM'ed several popular RPs under his belt. I'd nominate him.

^ We're fine with 2 RP mods. The section has calmed down a lot since 2 years ago.

Welcome back GVG! Nick already explained the situation, you can read back on it here :) Really glad to see you around again ^^

Hello:
 It is nice to see you are still alive :DD . I hope real-life things are going well for you as they indeed take all the priorities. But it is nice that you still come sometimes.

 Well, see you around!
