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

WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Its over....finally after 2 1/2 years....I'm done with my college degrees! PARTY TIME!!!!!! :smile Granted I won't be receiving my Bachelors degree for I'm one class short, but right now I'm so high on my blissful euphoria I JUST DON"T CARE! :DD :lol

Now the doors are open and I've started looking for a job to suite my Graphic Design profession.

I am SO happy right now.... :lol No college worries, or college strees...just a few weeks to relax and get my future in check and then I'm off! ;) Wish me luck!  ;)

wow, I'm having the exact opposite experience right now.  I graduate from high school in June and I'm starting college in August, and I can't wait!  Its going to be a **** load of work, but still, should be a good time.

Congrats GVG! :D  I remember those times.  Though I'm confused why you're happy when you're only one class shy of a Bachelor's degree...why not just take the one class and get it?  It looks a lot better on a resume.  Or do I happen to be missing something on how the degree system works where you are?

Well as it turns out with the economy the way it is now I simply can't afford to take the class (literally) as it's another $2000 that I just don't have right now. Besides...I need a break, 2 1/2 years of college work for ten weeks with no breaks really burned out my brain.

I'm sorry to hear that for financial reasons you are forced to interrupt your studies, but I'm also happy that you are relishing in the respite. Still I hope that you can resume your studies at a later time to get the BA degree after all. Being deep into the university work myself these days I can really understand just how much of a relieve it probably is right now :)

Congrads.  You can always try taking the last class later on at some point.  Good luck.

Thanks for all the compliments! :smile And believe me when I've paid my financial dues to the college I do plan on returning and getting my BA. That is a single major goal of mine, and I plan on seeing it through...after a few months of work and relaxation. :DD
