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

Thanks to all those who did vote.  Some decisions were very hard in some categories, I know in my case it was hard to pick just 1 in some categories.

Thanks so much everyone for your votes.  Sorry I didn't thank ya'll earlier.  My day has been really hectic and I've only been able to get onto GOF for periods of 2 minutes at a time.

Congratulations everyone! :yes
You can use photobucket, but you don't have to. I already hosted the awards on my account to post them here in some threads and neither the account nor the awards will be going anywhere. So if you want to you can just use the url you will get when you rightclick on the awards where I already posted them. They are not going to be removed from that account.

I apologize for the delay. The fault for it is mine, and mine alone. Right now I'm so hooked up with the university work that I could create but only a very few drafts for awards so far.
I'm really sorry that it may yet take a bit, but don't worry, there WILL be an award voting. :oops
As a little foretaste however I can already issue the one award that is not a voting issue but that all long-term members may wear who have joined within the year 2006, posted more than a 100 times and remain active on the GOF.
This is the award:

And the following members may include it into their signature:

Cyberlizard
DarkHououmon
Dash The Longneck
f-22 "raptor" ace
General Grievous
Keni
KingdomKey23
Lain_EX
Littlefoot Fan
Megatoph
Noname
Ratiasu

Thanks to all of you for coming here, for staying here, and for making the Gang of Five a better place :yes

(by the way, while checking out the list of who was in for this award I noticed that you, F-14, don't have your 2005 joining award in your signature. If you want to you are very welcome to add it:
)
