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

I've got GOF as home page on my laptop :^.^: It'll probably be my homepage if my own computer had internet. The main computer in our house has got our schoolwebsite as homepage though.. :p

"And the Most High said unto Moses, Ahayah-Asher-Ahayah.  And he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, Ahayah hath sent me unto you...  This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

Still don't have the GoF as my home page but I've clicked it so much from my Favorites list that I can get to it within 2 seconds of starting up Internet Explorer. :lol

I use firefox 3 with tabbed browsing and I have GOF as one of my favorite bookmarks.  Here's an image of my top bar on firefox:



As you can see, GOF is on the top bar.  It's like a favorite favorites place where you can put favorites as buttons instead of having to go through a list.  Very handy.  I don't need GOF as a home page when I've got this.  Just 1 click and I'm there. :D

That sounds fast.  It takes me 2-3 seconds but I have the link in about 2 layers down.

I have GoF as my homepage now - a lot better than the default Google, I say.

Though I almost always have a window to it open anyways, so it doesn't really matter...(I never turn this computer off unless I have to, and I always have at least five different tabs (today it's eight) open at one time...)
