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

Got a message tonight saying that a Malte279 had added me to their MSN list....I'm guessing that was you, but you never know these days....  :blink:   And I know you're not too fond of chat programs.

But it is me indeed. Sometimes a little chat is quite nice, and meeting you there seems to be more likely than meeting you in the GOF's chat room.

I haven't been impressed with javascript chatrooms like that so that's why I don't plan on adding one. ;)

Besides I don't think you can do a private conversation on one of them. ;)

Javascript can sometimes be really buggy that's why I don't use it here or on my site. ;)

Somehow I must've missed something. Not to long ago there WAS a chatroom at this board, wasn't it? We did talk there Arvens. Or am I just confused and it was still at the old gang of five? Perhaps so.

It was on our old host. ;)  They don't offer one here...not that I'm looking for one or we ever really used the one at our old host because it didn't always work.  <_<
