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

Finger lickin' good

Well, I'm not talking about anything drastic, but some minor color change would make it better I think.

I actually think the green is quite okay. I do understand the red though, it's sometimes hard to read. But I identify members by their avatar anyway :p.

You must have a heck of a time with me then.  I change my avatar a lot more frequently than most here on GOF.

More people do, but no not really. When I dont recognise an avatar I just look at the name once and I remember it. It's not that bad.

I look for my posts by my signature not by my name.

You have an easily identifiable avatar style though. Usually anyway.

Most of the time it includes Cera or Littlefoot. And you have an invisable background, also in 'your style'  :^.^:

I agree.  Sometimes you put that Japanese phrase in them.

Well hey.  I never thought of it like that.  I guess I was thinking too hard.  I though you meant I went with a certain color scheme or something. :^.^:

Well, I use a different symbol each time but I don't really expect anyone to notice because they're so tiny.  I can barely tell the difference between them when they're that small. :p
