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

Aren’t you glad that you didn’t change Fyn’s username now, Rhombus?  Having two people with nearly the same name is totally not confusing.
Come back here! :anger

Don’t be silly, Spike.  You have been reading too much Ayn Rand.  Though all ethical systems are inherently subjective, it is obscene beyond all measure to claim that selfishness is the highest ideal.  Though all ethical systems are in reality based upon a certain degree of egoism, as even a good person is driven to do good because of how the good act and its repercussions makes him or her feel, an ethical system based upon the outright rejection of altruism would be unsustainable in any actual society. It just would not work, nope, nope, nope!

Okay, that does it. I'm out of here. Plus it feels like someone's watching us. I hear fanart's a nice place to hang out...

No I am not reading Atlas Shrugged, Spike, that thing is nearly as long as the Seven Hunters, and it even has a 60 page speech.  Ayn Rand should have hired a better editor than the yellowbellies.

Six years of college, eight years teaching... only to spend the last three years of dealing with these characters.  Where did I go wrong in life?


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

Hey, you two!  You know that political rants go in the After Midnight section!  :smile

Rhombus: Edited to censor Taunt's inappropriate language.  I told you both that I was done giving you warnings.

Took them long enough to break the forum’s rules… I wonder how long it will take for them to make sockpuppet accounts.

Not long enough. I've gotta be honest, Rhombus, he was fun to read about, but in person? I can’t… I don’t think I can do this anymore. Are there any other ideas before I break out the white flag?

No, do something about Threehorns! But, you know, not something funny. Threehorns aren’t funny. We’re legends.

The only thing "legendary" about Threehorns is the taste  :DD
