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

anyone seen the philadelphia experiment?

a quick note you have to rent it to see it. saw the orignal last night. i've also seen the second one. the first one is based on a experiment the U.S. navy tried in oct 1943. their idea was to try to make a destroyer escourt invisble to radar. it was covered by some sort of fog there was a great flash of light the ship was gone. the only known witness is dead. any way back to the story. the ship reappeared in the norfolk naval yard. it dissapeared again and it was back in philadelphia! they classefied it beyond top seceret. they records were most likley destroyed. if you tried an experiment like this wouldn't you destroy the records you made?

I've seen that. And yes, I probably would destroy any evidence, although I don't know if I could kill anyone just for seeing.

actully it was natural causes for the death of the only known witness. how would you keep something like that seceret?

Natural causes? I'm highly dubious about that, even to this day.

I'm not sure how I'd keep something like that a secret. Well, not letting people see it would be a start!  :lol:

I know when he died, but still...it seems fishy to me.

i agree it does seem fishy. if there are any more eyewitnesses they won't be talking about it because  of the government.

I know it doesn't seem fishy, but to me, something about it just gives off vibes, you know?
