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

Hello to all

But if you're a part of this, then you must be exceptionally talented in some area. This is a thread about you, after all. :P: Is there something you're really good at?

I'm okay at the Rubik's Cube. My record is 31 seconds.

I'm not much of a Rubik's cube fan, but my brother does it every now and then. I forget what his record was. Was it an hour, a minute, or something less? I know it was pretty quick.

Didn't know folks still did the rubix cube.  I use to try at that.  The closest I got to finishing was getting 2 sides a few times.  

Are you having a lot of fun yet on the forum? I certainly hope you are.

Uh... pardon? I don't know what you are referring to. I know what superlatives are, but I don't know what you're getting at. :huh:

I mean with some of the older members, there are these boxes with stuff like "Best Gamer 2006". That is what I meant.

Those are called signature awards. I wasn't around when they did this year's, so you'll have to ask one of the admins or someone else more familiar with the process than me. :)

Thanks. They seem like superlatives though.

They're not "just superlatives." They're awards handed out for good behavior, participating in TGOF projects, etc. Again, I don't fully understand the process, myself.

I guess the admin are the best ones to ask about that.  They are easy to spot.  They are the ones in the wild party hats that say Admin.  :)

Those signatures are awards voted on every year (for two years so far) in spring by all active members of the GOF who have posted at least a 100 times. Those awards which include the title of a song are given to those who participated in the singing project of that song.

That signature messes up the threads for me. It makes it hard to sort through the posts.
