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

Good News, Bad News

I'm actually fine even if I don't win it. Just knowing that you and a couple others voted for me is encouraging.

Bad News: My button machine is all smashed. :(

Good News: Your application is accepted and you get re-admitted to a different school.

Bad News: I get expelled from that school as well, because I literally don’t care anymore.

Good News: You wrote an LBT fanfiction that somehow got made into an actual book for everyone to see around the world with huge success! :D

Bad News: I subsequently ran into legal trouble for officially publishing something that wasn't my intellectual property.

Good News: ...but it still got good reviews. :D

Bad News: That legal trouble costed you millions of dollars in damages, therefore stripping away any profit that you ever earned from the distribution of your LBT fanfiction.

Good News: You won the Friendly Member Award! (Seriously though, the tiebreaker vote is so one sided) :P

Bad News: Too bad I was only the runner-up... which I'm actually completely fine with, but I needed to put something here.

Good News: And you won an award too! Congrats! :DD

Bad News: The competition will be more stiff next year unfortunately. (But really, there’s no bad news).

Good News: You’re done with your client work and your LBT story is coming along nicely.

Bad News: I'm behind on my next two LBT stories and drawings because I lost my motivation these past several days, although I hope to get myself back on track.

(Hopefully) Good News: As of this week, I'm making another attempt at conquering my nail-biting habit. Wish me luck!

Bad News: I’m all out of ideas for what I should put for bad news, so there’s a shortage of that! Well, that counts as bad news I guess.

Good News: It is finally the weekend, which means much more time for me to chat with you and Owls! :)

Bad News: You went offline after I went online to see you. :(

But I know, you probably had something to do and you can’t be online all the time.

Good News: StardustSoldier has finally returned to the Gang of Five, and all of its members rejoice at this occasion! :celebrate

Thank you, thank you. *bows*

Bad News: Haha, whoops. Looks like we just missed each other there. I had time earlier this morning and so I wanted to clear out some of my forum topic notifications, but then yeah, I logged off right after to focus on some other things.

That said, I will likely still be kinda busy for the rest of the week, but I should have time to get caught up by this weekend.

Good News: I've been making good progress on my blog article work.

That’s great to hear Stardust, that your work hasn’t been affected too much by illness.

Bad News: Dang it, I missed you again! Oh well. I’ll be looking forward to the time we’re online at the same time. :)

Good News: I’m also catching up with school work, with the second quarter ending and a week break off from school.
