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

on my way

hi guys letting you all know that posting for me will be very rare for the next coming 10 to 12 weeks from tomorrow. So this might be my last posting or tomorrow morning UK time then off to working at a summer camp from June 8th to Augest 20th at IOWA Des Moines. Summer camp is called Sunnyside.


After that I am unclear what to do. maybe stay with a few camp friends that I Will make or maybe just have a little visit then head home. it will come along as it goes I gather but looking forward to working at the summer camp hope to do my very very best there. a new expercise that I will look forward to.

Maybe one of yous that live in the USA could meet me after the summer camp on the 20th augest just a suggestion. a wonder.

Aaahh...coming to our side of the pond are you?  :D  Have fun in Iowa.  I'm nowhere near you so a meet and greet is pretty much out of the question.

Enjoy your time Threehorn  :yes
Gee, I wish I could go to US too, but I'm afraid there is no chance for me. At least not this year.

^ If the "New York" you mean is New York City, I think I'll be there sometime in August for a Broadway musical, but I don't live there, so unless you're going to upstate New York, then I guess you won't see me....

Bye, Threehorn!  It sounds like a more exciting summer than what I had planned! :p

I wish you the best! B)

BTW, I'm a loooong way from New York (over 2000 miles according to Google) so I don't think you'll be running into me, either. :lol

I live in Wisconsin, which borders Iowa. Unfortunately, i lkve on the Southeastern part of the state, while Iowa borders the western part. So if we were to meet. It would take a several hour drive by car. Des Moines, I've been there before, while heading out west with the folks a few summers back.
Winner of these:

Although it's for certain we won't be able to meet (I'm in Arizona), but I do hope you have fun here on this side of the world.

^Glad to see you're still around until then.

As for sandstorms, Malte, I don't think it made much of a dent in my area, although we have had some wildfires in other parts, and there was a lot of wind blowing around in Phoenix.
