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

Today Planetside 2 broke the world record for "Most Players in a Single Battle", with 2141 players battling it out across the same desert continent.

I was one of them, and wrote a recap of the record-breaking event if anyone wants to read it! :D It's honestly incredible that technology has progressed to the fact that twelve-hundred players can connect to a single server and there's not even particularly-bad lag or framerate issues. Makes me excited what sort of massively-multiplayer shooters we may be seeing in the future!

That's crazy. How fun that you were a part of it. Yeah the way technology has advanced is amazing (in general). Although I feel we are a bit stagnant these days, there are still a lot of advances to look forward to.
