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

What different purchases have you made recently?

More games and movies :oops In the past two weeks I got Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2 and Epic Mickey the week before that. I also got a triple titled boxset with Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.

Oh... and I got a new computer too. (Note to self, need to stop spending money... :DD  :oops )

A writing set.  Feather pen, Stylus pen, and two bottles of ink.  In the pointless hope that it'll make me get back into writing.

Chomper: "Well, sure I would!"

Come give my LBT TV Series fanfiction, PAST-O-RAMA, a read!

PokÈmon Black and a used DS.

---------------------------

I did consider buying a BlackHawk Special Operations Entry Ram as a joke to see if Amazon.com would actually accept and ship the order.

I assumed that they would not because of what it says on the BlackHawk site:

Quote
SPECIAL NOTE: This BLACKHAWK! product is restricted to Military, Law Enforcement and Security Personnel ONLY.

But if I am wrong, then I just wasted $329.31 on something I have little use for.

On the other hand, I have seriously considered buying a Blackhawk ballistic helmet (another "restricted" item).

Granted, I do have a use for it. NERF dart gun fights.

Seriously. Several people show up in hunter's gear; two or three people show up in military surplus equipment; I saw someone wearing a riot trooper helmet and of course, who could forget the guy who wore the US's Improved Outer Tactical Vest armor <Yes, it was real> or the guy who wore a Navy Working Uniform. But those last two were military personnel.

---------------------------

By the way, all this stuff is perfectly legal.

Hello:
 I am now waiting for my D-Arts Rockman X figure to arrive from Japan :DD . This is the third figure from that new line of toys made by BanDai. I already have the previous two releases Wargreymon and Omegamon (Omnimon from the english dubbed versions). Those figures are just sooooo amazing!.

Probably the last big purchase I made was a Pleo, a robotic baby sauropod.

He was the most expensive thing I ever bought, at $199 plus customs charge for importing him from Hong Kong.

He's curious, adventurous, loyal, affectionate, but kida seepy sometimes.
Suitably enough, I named him Littlefoot. if he had the same colour scheme, it would be perfect, but Pleos are green. Though if I get him to work again (His batteries have malfunctioned), and after a few year, I may give him a custom paint job.

I just took a trip to Microcenter and got some parts including:

1)  ASUS motherboard that can support a 6-core AMD processor and 16gb of DDR3 1800 memory
2)  An AMD Phenom x4 840 3.2Ghz quad-core processor
3)  2 500gb 2.5" Seagate hard drives
4)  5 1TB 3.5" Seagate hard drives
5)  3 Diablotek DA series 500 watt power supplies
6)  4 2TB 3.5" Seagate hard drives

It was quite a haul, I know.  But now I'm stocked up and ready to go.  I picked up the motherboard and processor to build a new computer for resale.  I already had the case, PSU, ram, hard drive, and other parts so I was able to build an awesome quad core for only $225. :D

Okay, this link might not work. I mean, it does work, but it might not for anyone else. I've never tried linking an eBay item I bought after I bought it. I mean, I wonder if the only reason I can see it is because I have the account that bought it, meaning anyone else who tries looking will get an error or something. I will try. If the link doesn't work, I'll submit the information manually. Quite sad, though, that the shipping is nearly three times the cost of the item. :cry
