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

RIP Paco

I was shaken this morning when I found out one of my favorite musicians has passed away: Paco de Lucia, the man who I had considered the worlds greatest living guitarist. To call him a master is a grave insult: the man's abilities
man's abilities were so astonishing and such a tremendous delight. He was the undisputed king of the Flamenco guitar, and worthy of a spot in the guitarist pantheon among the likes of Andre Segovia, Django Reinhardt, and Jimmy Hendrix.

I remember when I had first heard about him. I had told one of my older friends that I was getting into great guitar players, and he askedif I had heard of Paco de Lucia. I said I hadn't. He pulled up the youtube clip that I have linked in this thread, and I was speechless. I have never in my life seen anyone play ANY instrument with such speed and passion. I was hooked. Paco was a musical legend, and I imagine I'll be listening to the blaze of his guitar for the rest of my life.

Rest in peace Francisco S·nchez GÛmez, the King of Flamenco.
