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 a Drag...

Hopefully you pass or whatever it is they test you on (breaking boards of wood maybe).

Good luck on doing well during the test & such.  Sounds very tiring, and letting you have little sleep, doesn't sound to nice.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to pass (or rather my thumbs pressed as this is the common gesture of good luck wishing over here while crossing fingers is almost exclusively related to fibbing (as in LBT IV) over here) ;)

I'm back now.  I passed the test, and I got my first degree-red stripe belt.  Man, am I ever sore right now, but whatever.  It's kinda funny, but when I was seeing things from my lack of sleep, I thought I saw my RP buddies cheering me on.  So thanks, guys!
