I had to do it.

Yeah I'm sure most of you of my huge speech on the network54 forum...I had to do it. We need to bond together if we're going to make it as a forum of LBT fans.

There's my speech. B) I felt like a spammer doing that but I don't think either forum can survive much longer so long as members decide to stay in separate places.

The really successful forums of classic movies have only one spot for congregation...it should be the same for us.

I prefer this one as a question of graphics and design.. but it's hard for the people that like that one to just move here..

There's no competition there.

It is egronomically much more suitable for larger topics.

No, it isn't easy....we don't plan to permanently shut down the network54 forum, but the larger topics really should come over here because that setup doesn't support really big topics.

Yup.. that would do great for the gang of five.. with more people it would become more popular

Petrie · **Reply #4 on:** October 30, 2004, 09:25:22 AM

I'm working on that.

We'll eventually get more people. I mean if you think about it, we've had more join in the past week than we've had in the past year.

You're exaggerating

Last year we still had the old gang of five and there were several people comming and going. I wonder why "Chomper" disappeared who first introduced the LBT trivia game to the gang of five.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #6 on:** October 31, 2004, 04:54:35 AM

I may be alone in this, but I actually prefer the old 54 forum.

Malte279 · **Reply #7 on:** October 31, 2004, 08:20:45 AM

I do not exactly favor one over the other. By practical means the Gang of Five is certainly better, but I feel very much attached to the network54 forum, where I got to know other LBT fans for the first time, and where I've been posting for more than four years. Nevertheless I consider it a failure to post only at one favorite forum and I definitely think that it would be a benefit for land before time fans if they didn't stick so much to one forum that it meant totally ignoring the others and thus splintering the land before time fan community into several blocks.

Petrie · **Reply #8 on:** October 31, 2004, 11:25:09 AM

I might have been exaggerating but do you realize how long we've gone without new members? Also we've had some that came for a few posts and left...that Chomper was one of them. So we have been very much without new faces for a long time.

I couldn't agree more with that.

However, I think so long as more than one exists, there will be blocks because some people, like me can't visit each place every day because I have so much going on so I just pick one and if I have time I will get to the others.

I don't think that very many land before time forums can be really active for a long time. I think five active forums at the same time was the highest rate ever (at least the highest I remember. However, four of them died away after all. Nevertheless I think that two or maybe even three forums could work out. But right now there are two really active ones, and I don't see a good reason for a third one to be created.

Petrie · **Reply #10 on:** October 31, 2004, 12:18:39 PM

^ Some create them just for the heck of it. Most of those never take off like the creator wishes.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2004, 02:44:08 PM

Just my take on it, but nothing here makes you look like a spammer, Anven.

Petrie · **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2004, 06:42:09 PM

I don't support spammers. :angry: I've seen my share of them, and I'm clearly not a spammer.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #13 on:** November 01, 2004, 01:08:36 AM

I hate spammers, too. What satisfaction do they get? They don't even get to see the annoyance they cause first hand, for Pete's sake!

Malte279 · **Reply #14 on:** November 01, 2004, 02:54:56 AM

Pete's sake? Are you refering to that guy who used to spam and cause trouble at the network54 forum a long while ago?

Threehorn · **Reply #15 on:** November 01, 2004, 07:13:50 AM

Never had any problems with Network54 before about spam. Could it be a one off?

Petrie · **Reply #16 on:** November 01, 2004, 01:52:54 PM

"For Pete's sake!" is a phrase like "Geez, why did you do that?"

It has the same meaning.

The reason we see no SPAM is because Malte removes it on network54.

Threehorn · **Reply #17 on:** November 01, 2004, 01:53:54 PM

That cool! to here. Well I hate spam really hate it

Are we talking about that processed meat as well because that's pretty disgusting too.

Very funny... I don't find it funny *snorts*
