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

Hey gang

Doing better....I don't feel as worn out as last week, but still drowsy at times.  Most of you don't know I'm ill (with something...don't have an official word of what it is) and I don't have a computer.

I see you guys went over the 10K mark....that's phenominal...really.  Anyone who has been with me from the beginning with this board (at our old host) knows that this is an achievement considering how long we've been waiting for such growth. :)

I'll keep in touch every so often, and I will get better (and will get my computer back!).  Tootles.

Over 8000 of those posts have come from just 4 posters. Me, You, Malte and Threehorn. But 10000 posts is amazing, it's also testimony to how much freee time we have :lol:

I am on almost all the time, so I can't post much since no one else is on.

Well, my computer got back quick and works great again. :)  In terms of health, I'm still tired all of the time...my doctor thinks it's anemia, and it's possible.  I'll get tests later, but at least that's better than mononucleosis.  :unsure: If there is ever such a thing as a lesser of two evils of illnesses.

I've had anemia, Arvens, and my doctor put me on a regimen of iron supplements. one pill consisted of nearly 4 times the daily needed amount of iron. I took the pills for a year, and then I had another blood test. My iron level had gone up and I was now in the normal range, so I could go off the pills.

Sounds bad Arvens!  :( Wishing you all the best! I've studied a few things about anemia and it's not a very nice thing to have. Hope all's ok for now and get better soon!  ;)
