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

Heading off to LA

Well, for three days I'm going to be in LA for an Autism conference, so I unfortunately won't be able to be online for those few days. So if someone else would like to take control of the rp while I'm gone, I'll be VERY grateful. :)

I'll just be packing up today.

Hey guys, I'm -almost- back. I'm not home, still in LA, but I got connection. ^^

Oh...by the way, I saw the Temple Grandin movie this weekend too, so I just really had a boost of pride for being myself and only myself. For those of you that haven't heard about it, it's on HBO Family. :D

How was the conference?
As someone with Autism, I'd like to know how it went :)

Whoa...I didn't know you were leaving, or realize you were gone! :blink: (I need to check the "Hobbies and Recreation" forum more often :slap)

I would've liked to have watched the Temple Grandin movie, but to my knowledge, we don't get the HBO channel at my house. :rolleyes

At any rate, I'd like to hear about the autism conference, too. :DD
