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

Well my old domain name (http://lbtserver.co.cc) has come to an unfortunate end.  They wanted $3/year from me to keep my domain so I decided to buy a brand new one that's actually a .com.  The new domain for the LBT Server is as follows:

www.sharelbt.com

I have big plans for the LBT Server including remote account signup and a real custom members area.  I'm not exactly sure how to implement it yet, but I'm going to do my best.  And with special coupon codes and such I was able to get the domain for only $5.  Definitely worth it.  Stay tuned for special updates of the server.  As soon as I have time to do them, I'll implement them immediately. :D

Looks good Austin! $5 is not bad! For what period is this? How many years will you have the domain for? :)

LOL.  I actually had a chance to get the domain for $1 but the coupon code expired just hours before.  But I'm not complaining $5/year for a .com domain name is great.  And to answer your question, it's registered for a year at $5.

As for the new features and development of the LBT Server, I've had severe connection issues here so I haven't been able to do much lately.  I need the internet to help me when I get stuck or need to know how to do something with the code.  As much as I'd like to be, I'm nowhere near fluent in PHP/MySql.  Hell, I'm not even fluent in Javascript yet.  It's just HTML and CSS that I can code in my sleep. :p

Lol just hours before? That sucks :p Anyway $5 for 1 year isn't bad for a .com domain, no :) I'm sure you'll learn MySql in time, though I'm not gonna try it. lol
