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

Adventuring to the Mall of America

For this weekend; me (along with my mom, my brother, and some of his friends) are going to the Mall of America.

It's my first time going there! I heard it has a ROLLER COASTER! (And a ton of clothing stores)

I bet I'll have a great time.

The Mall of America in Bloomington? :)
I'm sure you will like it. It is a really large place to be sure. I was there in 2002 during my excange.

OMG. That place is huge!

I got two things from there.

1. A large 471 piece LEGO kit. Took me two hours to make.

2. A new 360 game. Fallout 3. Great RPG/FPS.

I rode on several of the roller coasters while I was there. And at the hotel I was staying at, it had a big indoor water park.

AWSOME

Very cool! :D

Sounds a lot like the West Edmonton Mall, not far from where I live (few hours' drive).  Advertised at the biggest mall in the world, it's got a lot of the same stuff you mentioned: water park, roller coaster (and amusement park), go-kart racing, hotel, mini-golf, hockey rink, bowling, arcade...all sorts of random attractions. :p

Haven't been in quite a few years though.  I do remember that most of the stores actually weren't that great :p Lots of clothing stores.  :lol

Yeah, that's what I hate about malls.  About 40% of the stores in them are clothes stores.  Honestly, I don't know how they survive in there. :p I've never bought clothes from a mall in my life.

It's about the same in the mall nearby, which I only went to to get glasses a few months ago and walked around in for the hour that I had to wait, except in that one it's over half clothing stores.
