Haha! That was funny 
Yeah, even though THAT *please insert sarcasim here* probably solves every question in the universe without a doubt *please end sarcasim here* I was wondering wasn't this thread the one with the Brontoscorpio?
It was, but read what was Posted on Jan 12 2011 at 06:36 PM, and you'll find out why I changed the Title (and Topic) of the Topic, and if you can't then I'll quote the part of the reply that made me change the Title (and Topic) of the Topic.
Most of the members on this forum live in different time zones, so it would be better to link directly to the post (by clicking on the “
Posted:” line and copying the link into the
http://tags), or at least mention who made the post, instead of just telling people the date and time of the post and leaving them to find it themselves.
Anyway, if you're talking about my post, I wan't telling you that you should use
Pulmonoscorpius in your story instead of
Brontoscorpio; I was just bringing up a possible alternative, since, depending on the level of realism one was going for,
Brontoscorpio might not. But as almost everyone who has responded in this thread pointed out, scientific accuracy is not a big deal in the LBT universe, so it wouldn't matter much if you weren't completely realistic in your portrayal of the creature (e.g., having it move around quickly on land, survive out of water indefinitely, etc.). You already had your answer, anyway, so there really wasn't much reason to change the entire thread.
Also, I think some people who saw this thread interpreted it as asking whether a giant prehistoric scorpion would be a good creature to appear as a character in the LBT world in general. The impression I'm getting, though, is that you're asking whether it would be a good character specifically for your story.
With respect, JBJB1029, I've noticed that you have been making a lot of threads asking people for ideas, opinions, recommendations, information, and other forms of assistance with your stories. While I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with that, isn't the whole idea of writing your own stories to create something using your own imagination, and making your own decisions? If you were to find someone who was willing to collaborate with you on the project, to help you come up with ideas and design the story, that's one thing, but relying on random people for material by asking questions like “should I use this idea or this idea?”, “is this a good idea?”, “did this LBT character ever do this?”, etc. just doesn't seem like the right way to go about planning a story, in my opinion. Besides, how much fun are people going to have reading a story if they already know basically everything that's going to happen in it?
