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

Ok, plain and simple, I need to get off the internet again....or at least work out some reasonable time management involving it because right now I'm an emotional mess online, and I find I'm on way too much for my own good because I'm neglecting so much else.

So, for a good week (maybe longer) no message boards, no MSN, no nothing where I'm getting myself distracted from what I need to focus on.  Yes, I've done this before, and yes, the last time I did this, I felt so much better once I had everything straightened out again. :)

I will respond to emails because I can usually do that in three minutes or less at 40 wpm so if you want to stay in touch over the next week, you can email me at
captainarvens@gmail.com   I can assure I will check this because I use it for school.  Pretty much everything just continues as usual over here...you guys are a fine bunch, so I've nothing to worry about not being here 24/7 (which I shouldn't be in the first place).

Ok, Nick, just drop me out of round two in the Trivia Tourney...no point in waiting around for me.

Until then I'll see you guys later. :)

No worries buddy! Take some time off and leave everything to us. The forum will get along fine and we'll be thinking of you whilst you rest. ;) Enjoy your sunshine, pina collada in a pineapple and don't forget the sunscreen!  :D Cya in a week or there abouts!  :^.^:

Hi!
I'm not going anywhere, but with me depending on an absolutely hideous internet connection for the month to come I will most like be not as much around these days either. I will definitely not be able to use MSN with this connection and checking out and answering a few messages in the gang of five takes literally (!) hours now, so I may be a little less active. Hopefully I'll have access to a faster connection time and and again.
