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

Somebody post please

Even thought this is probably one of the funnest things I've done in ages?

Just to end any confusion, there has been a little change in the security policy of the GOF and as a consequence you cannot see the AM section anymore. It will reappear the moment you post a message anywhere and further explanation can be found in the AM section itself.

To post or not to post, is apparently not the question.
Dude, I'm a member Plus!!! That's a step up!
Don't be alarmed, I've always wanted to try this.
That didn't turn out quite as cool as I was hoping. Oh well.
Did you want us to post only once, or as many times as we want?
Am I elegible? Elegible for what?
I spelled "elegible" wrong, didn't I?  
So are we supposed to stop posting?
Even thought this is probably one of the funnest things I've done in ages?
I will now quote myself 9 times.


Dude! It looks like a flock of geese! That's what I'm talking about!

So, people will only see it if they post after the moment you installed the "Member +" system...

Well, I already see it.

I was kinda referring myself to 9 quotes... <.<

And you're quite right about its aspect ._. It does look like it.

That explains a little, but, of course, I'll need to see the full info before having any opinions.

Oh, silly me!  I did not know where the H-E-double hockey sticks the AM section went.  I was not on this weekend, so I figured there might have been a serious verbal smackdown bad enough to call for the eradication of the AM section altogether.  I dunno...me and my wild imagination :bang.
