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

Might Be Gone For A Few Days

I just wanted to let everyone know that I might not be on for a while.  My ISP is having some serious issues.  I called them earlier this morning because I couldn't even get a connection and they said that they were having "unknown downtime" in many areas and it was a major company issue.  They temporarily did something to my internet to get it back, but they said that I would probably lose service for a few days.  I am a premium customer, so I hope that means I'll get premium service, but ya never know. <_< Since joining GOF, I've never gone even one day without making a post or contributing to a thread, but that may change. :( I hope I don't have to go without internet for a few days, but with my luck, that's exactly what will happen. :cry2


Oh well.  They say hope for the best but prepare for the worst and that's exactly what I'm doing. :)

I remember you making a similar thread here and you still was able to stay on, so mabey the end result in this situation will be the same, as well. :)
