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

I just saw that on BBC News after I had a break from my morning duties at the office.  The news article said that they suspected that it was a breakaway piece of a Earth-crossing asteroid, 2014RC, which is roughly the size of a house.  Thankfully it was only a piece of that asteroid that impacted, otherwise the results would have been far more catastrophic.


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

Well, the one good news we can get out of this is that even asteroids as small as 2014RC are starting to be noticed when sufficiently close to Earth nowadays. The observational abilities of Earth are steadily improving.
