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

Wow! :wow That's a lot of great photos! Let me comment on them in order:

Monday

Cool-looking fountain! :yes

Did you try that? :p

And that pizza looks delicious! Was it?

Tuesday

This was my reaction to seeing the Colosseum pictures: :o :wow The Forum Romanum looks pretty neat, too!

So, what's the story with the guy in the suit and the white makeup? Why was he dressed like that? :smile

Wednesday

I had a similar response to the Vesuvius pictures as I did to the Colosseum ones: :wow :wow I've always been interested in volcanoes... Is that volcanic gas, steam, etc. in the third picture?

Thursday

Wow. It must have been so cool to be in the Basilica. It's beautiful.

And what's the significance of the brightly colored outfits those two guys are wearing?

That's the Swiss Guard, the ones guarding the pope himself. I wouldn't be the right one to tell you why they are wearing their suits, but I think google might have an answer to that :)
