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

Happy Belated New Years folks! (Or New Decade as I like to call it)

First let me say that my holidays were awesome! (thanks for asking)
Its bitterly cold here in Tennessee but I'm staying warm with a nice hot cup of cocoa and a blanket or two.

And yes, I'm still without a job or a vehicle, but I am more optimistic than ever before and I vow early this year to get back on my feet :)

I will also be returning to some project work starting back up with project Percy and then the literature on Arkayia. I also plan on maybe starting back up the BC webcomic (maybe...)

I've got a new tool that'll benefit greatly in these projects. An I-Pen! (basically a small cheap digital mouse pen) this will help me with some of the artwork.

Anywho. Let me start this first year's update by asking about your holiday. How was it? What wonderful gifts did you get this year?

Me? It was a decent holiday. I had fun with the family and a few friends (Spent the new year with my mother and three nephews and chatting with my friend Chris Fabo over Skype) I got some nifty new toys including a bike, a new digicam/media player and other things to be named. All of which have been really useful for the start of this year.

I've also made some vows for the new decade that I want to accomplish. Getting in shape, getting my finances in order and getting my life back in order. There is so much else I want to accomplish this year.

Anywho, that be all I have to say about my holiday (for now) . Now how was yours? :)

Thanks for your time!

- Brian Bullock
