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

finish!

dam....

And we have a 3 way tie for 1st!  With 2nd place only a point behind.  And if ratlady manages to grab 5th before LB&L it'll be a 4 way tie

Unfortunately, Rat_lady has messaged me saying that she's retiring from the season. So we're one competitor down... :(

Come on LB&T... :smile

I've just done some calculations... and if LB&T finishes, he will still be leading, with 14pts (4 points added on for finishing 5th). Thus, there will then be a three-way tie for 2nd.

Yes, it does! Competitors are allowed to post "finish" until the next event starts. If they did not post "finish" for a certain event, they are considered a DNF (Did Not Finish) for that particular race, and thus they do not score any points. But, you're still in, because you are considered to have finished... :smile

Season standings coming in a sec...

Finish!

(Jeez, I've been trying to get on since 4, and it keeps telling me there was a connection failure or something. But there's no way I was gonna beat excalibur, first 2 minutes, that's impressive.)
