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

Olympia is the capital of Washington, Arvens. Seattle is merely the biggest city in the state.

(Just shows how mislead Americans are I guess about geography  :blink:  :blink:  If you think that was jawdropping, see how many Americans can locate the Middle East)

Even though people arround here are slandering Americans for being unaware of the rest of the world, I don't think Europeans in general are much better. When my grandma went to Egypt on holidays it turned out that my aunt didn't know that Egypt belongs to Africa. There are people living here who couldn't locate Germany on the globe, while I'm positively sure that a huge majority of the Americans I met in Red Lake Falls could.

Danube - long river in Europe.

Just 11% of 200 high school seniors tested could locate Iraq, 12% could find afghanistan. Pathetic. I can locate practically every country in the world, but then again I'm very good at geography. :D
