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

We just received a generous $25 donation from another GoF member who I'll keep anonymous unless they want to come out and say, but I did purchase
Tree Party today, thanks to both donors and I'll work on getting it into the game once we have our game map geography finalized a bit more!

Thanks again, everyone, this is getting awesome!

Just to let everyone know though, this donation system was intended to be a little more long-term.  I didn't figure on two people giving me $35 in one day's time.  It's very much appreciated but just letting everyone know they can relax, there's always lots of stuff to do and to work on. :)

Seeing as I'm unable to devote any help with this project I would donate.....but I have no way of donating online.  The only thing I could do is go buy a prepaid credit card, but I'd have to pay $15 just to get it activated and $5 a month after that.  $15 is just stolen from you and they charge you $1 every time you use it.  I'd have to pay $16 just to make a donation.

Yaaay Tree Party.

I wanna donate. The ATM was broken today, though. Couldn't get the domain name I wanted, either. I want to switch banks.

I can't say anything more about my financial situation due to privacy reasons, but sufficed to say I can't use Paypal either.  I used to have it but....things have changed.

Of course. Don't worry Austin!

We're not in need of money very quickly anyway. We just reached our goal so we'll have to get that working first and so on... :)

I hope you didn't want the domain name "Alex." I daresay that's a pretty common name at every bank.

Haha, well, domain names don't have anything to do with a bank, lol.

I meant, I couldn't deposit cash into my account. I tried today after school in three different ATMs, aaaand no dice. I truly am disatisfied with my bank, now. And the new business teacher at my school is going to bring a rep. from the same bank into class. I can't wait.

And, no, I don't want the domain name 'Alex', I'm sure it's been tooken since the mid 90's.

Back on topic, I will donate! Eventually!

Guess what! Plant Life was reduced in price so we could buy it from, the already donated money ($20).

Now we got a new goal set up.. Dark Video

*Goes off to play with Plant Life* :p
