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

Happy birthday Pterano

Oh yes! Happy birthday, dude! Hope you come up with more wonderful stories!
Petra is a variant of the Greek name "Petros" meaning "strong" or "rock." Andi is a variant of the Greek name "Andy" meaning "masculine" or "brave." Therefore, I am tremendously brave and strong! :lol

Thank you EVERYONE for your very kind and heart warming wishes! I have to say this was probably the BEST Birthday I've ever had! I'll never forget it, and if I learn that I passed my FS exam tomorrow, it will truly be the PERFECT Birthday (even though I'm sick :p).

Thank you all so much again. It really warmed me up to check out the site on my phone in the morning and see all of those well wishes.  :yes

Well my primary gift was this trip, as well as the gift card I got to cover my food and anything I wanted to buy. I mostly did gift shopping for myself on my Birthday after the fireworks, as the park was open a lot later that night, and there was plenty of time to still shop and then finish up with some rides. I had mentally picked out items in some of the World Showcase shops that I thought might make nice souvenirs, and we started making our way back around after the show. The stuff I bought includes:

An otter plushy from Canada, because I like otters. :p
A dragon plushy from Britain, because I like dragons. :p
A book on the man who designed the costumes and sets for the Godzilla films, as I thought it would be a nice addition to my library, this one from Japan.
A rather large red carved dragon statue from China, which I have sitting on my desk now.

And two other presents I got from other people are both books, one on the Battle of Borodino, and the other focusing on the campaigns of 1814, both by F. G. Hourtoulle, thus completing the six volume set that I have from this author.

The friend that I brought with me also gave me a few things, in the form of some books, and I got a souvenir light cube from one of the restaurants we ate at. :p
