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

Once upon a time we had Albany already. But perhaps we should agree that if hardly anyone remembers anyone places may be recycled.

Yorkshire - British district.

You were born in Germany Kenji? Did you live there for a longer time (or I realize I have never asked this) are you still living in Germany?

Gothland - Swedish island in the Baltic name. The name is no coincidence by the way. Scientists are pretty certain that the Goths originally came from this island.

Appomatox - Town and creek in Virginia. It is the place where the Civil War was ended in that state when Lee's army of northern Virginia surrendered there.
