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

In a way, it's harder than even the C++ programming language because you've gotta fit it in the web page with HTML and CSS stuck in there.  I gotta tell ya, I'm not very good at making a decently laid out web page using all three languages (Javascript, CSS, and HTML).  Others look at my code and go  :blink:  They may work, but they're impossible to understand unless you're the one who made them.  I guess it's because I don't use comments. :p

I just finished "Unwind" by Neil Shusterman.  Its about a future time where an unproductive teenager could be unwound, or his/her body parts be used for other productive people.

Interesting...I took Web Design during my senior year of High school, although we only learned HTML and CSS.

I was actually reading parts of Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by A. Merriam-Webster last night before going to bed. What a coincidence!  :lol:

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder.  I currently forgot the name of the author, but she's done almost 8 books in this series so far.  It's a murder/mystery/comedy with recipes throughout the novel!  I got the stuff to make cookies from one of the recipes! :DD
