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

Nazareth - city in Pennsylvania - held car races at a track down there before it pretty much shut down

^ It's by the way funny just how different the Orleans in New Orleans is pronounced from the French Orleans the town New Orleans is named after.

Santa Cruz - there are countless places with this Spanish name that means holy cross if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I am Littlefoot-1616). Now I'm refering to a Pacific island with that name.

^ Zimbabwe does still exist under that name for all I know. Yet it was a Z name too that was changed to Kongo. It used to be called Zaire.

^ You don't seem to be very fond of Spain in genera, are you? I'm also refering to your comment in the LBT 8 thread (that has long moved away from the starting topic).
