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

wow

I just saw that about Billy Mays on Twitter. What gives? Four celebrities dying within days of each other. :cry Is someone trying to tell us something?

Tim McGraw sings, "Live like you're dying." We never know when it'll be our turn. :(

Maybe this is a warning about the lure of the cult of celebrity? A humbling of the mighty? A reminder that not even the rich and famous are above life and death?  :blink:

A horrid bad luck and coincidence? <.<

Still, though, it is true. Its like someone's doing it on purpose. But let's face it, it won't take long till another wave of them come because of age. Most of the icons that died were previous icons from past generations, right? It'll probably happen sooner or later, because we can't stop time from passing, even if they're healthy and such. (On a side note, Michael Jackson took more than enough pills a day to bring someone into coma.)

These aren't all related...the only one who likely brought the death on himself was Jackson.  Fawcett had cancer, McMahon was ill as well, and Mays suffered a freak hard-landing of a plane and bumped his head.  If you learn anything its that you don't know when you're going to go or how.
