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

Warn????

I fumbled with the settings of the board and for the heck of it decided to turn them on so everyone can see their warning....not that I hope to ever have to use them mind you. ;)

Nobody has ever been warned here, and I don't want to start, I just turned the bar on so everyone can see it, so if someone does do something rash, all the members will be aware including the one warned.

For the time being, for reasons I wish not to discuss, I made it so anyone that wants to join will have to be approved by me before they can post.  Hopefully I won't have to keep that on long.
