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

Especially if you hit a time where two members are just replying back and forth, one right after the other. :p

(Like us in AM right now. ;) )

Ja, ich verstehen.
Make it "Ja, ich verstehe."  ;)  (German vor "Yes, I understand.") With the n ending it would be a plural form.

Diesmal ist es vollkommen richtig mein Freund!
(This time it is perfectly right my friend!)

Weirdly people are rarely addressed as "mein Freund" (my friend) in Germany. Sort of sad  :(

Usually with "Du" or by name. The "Sie" in German is for more official occasions. There is not such a differentiation in English ever since the though (wich was simmilar to the German "Du") passed away, is there?
