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

Not sure if any of you use Reddit somewhat frequently, but even if you don't you may have heard of the so-called blackout that started yesterday. Reddit is the so maniest piece of social media that decides to change things drastically in order to get more money (presumably) and therefore killing off its userbase. Here's a news article in case you wish to read up on it: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23749188/reddit-subreddit-private-protest-api-changes-apollo-charges

Do you guys think temporarily closing subreddits will have any effect on the higher-up's decisions?

Here's a fun website on which you can see which subreddits have gone private: https://reddark.untone.uk/
