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

Not so much the rules, but when is me or NW declared a victor, so you can start with the next seeding?  He's very lost....and I can't explain anything I don't understand myself.  :unsure:

Do you want to stop now? If we stop now, then Nightwing advances, and we move on to the next match. Are you Ok with this?

Yes, I resign.  Point is, this is just taking a long time, and the other members that agreed to it are going to forget or just lose interest.  Do something like two questions, and move on.

Also, for the next round, make a new topic and put the members competing against each other in the subject line so they know to look in the post. ;)

P.S.  I highly doubt Brian will be able to participate considering he's moving to a new place and won't have internet access anymore.  I'll ask him if I see him tomorrow but I think its a safe bet if you remove him and try to get Inle-rah to fill his place. ;)  I'll let you know what he plans to do.

Ok Here's what I'm going to do. Since Nightwing can't play anymore, I'll simply put the winner of Threehorn-WeirdRaptor  in the finals. Matches will now end after 5 questions, unless the score is tied.

Relax. If you don't know the answer, You can simply say 'pass', and WeirdRaptor will get a chance to answer. You won't be penalized for passing Threehorn.

If memory serves me correctly he served for 4 years after the war as well, from 1951 to 1955. But I'll give it to you Threehorn. Pick again.
