Announcements / 2025: The Year the Forum Embraces Capitalism (April Fools 2025)
« on: March 31, 2025, 10:09:25 PM »
Good morning, 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, this year we will put this hypothesis to the test!
We would like to welcome you to our Forum Associated Businesses.

Saurus Rock: Member Hall of Fame / Joining Awards 2020
« on: August 25, 2024, 12:52:49 PM »
Howdy! As you all know, the admins had thought that with the end of the annual forum awards, but they thought wrong! Rhombus complained about this thing called ‘a job’ and ‘paying the bills’ but the admins finally got off their rear ends and got the Members of 2020 banners done.
Sigh... humans and laziness, am I right?
I also hope that you like the theme for this year - masking and social distancing.
The special banner for those of you who joined in 2020 and who are still around can be found attached to this post. It is impressive that in the year of social distancing we actually gained many members who have remained with our community for the long haul. Thank you all for sticking with our community - we are glad to have you.
Feel free to save the file, upload it to the image-hosting service of your choice, and to place it in your signature. Alternatively, you can use one of the following URLs (which are our forum hosted images):

https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?action=dlattach;ts=1724604769;topic=18059.0;attach=4421;image
In case you too joined back in 2020, have posted 100 times or more, and are still active (or have returned as an active member later) but are not on the list, please send us a note and we'll correct the mistake as quickly as possible.
The following members may add the Member of 2020 Award to their signatures if they wish to do so:

As you all can see, Rhombus has put me to work straight out of the portal. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Anyway... sadly I will not have time to do the usual pranks today. But I do have some good news!
Due to the recent controversy concerning AI art, I thought it would be a great idea to showcase such art in the Fanart section of the forum. I know that all of you will agree.
The admins have demanded that all AI art be relegated to the AI art topic, and that the usual rules against inappropriate art apply, but, shockingly, they agreed to my proposal provided that me and the gang help with the upcoming forum updates.So let’s all give the team a warm welcome for their efforts!
Here you can see zero-point hard at work. He doesn’t post much, between university work and other life obligations, but he has proved invaluable in helping the boomers who run the forum to understand how basic computer concepts work. Though I still don’t understand how he does the wiring without hands...
Ruby has been working hard managing things on the financial side. Because of all of you, the forum is on good financial footing and has been for the last several years. We are all grateful for your support.
Chomper has been doing his part as well! He was initially unhappy about being turned into an AI-designed abomination by the magical portal, but he quickly got over it. Or, at least I think he did, I was too busy running out of the server room to ask!
And finally, Ducky has really seen better days ever since going through the AI art portal! But she has dutifully stuck to her task of protecting the forum from spammers. Sometimes it takes a firm hand to say Nope, Nope, Nope!
So here is the task for all of you, dear forum members: Can you use AI art programs to make better depictions of us Land Before Time (and fan) characters? If you are up to the challenge, feel free to show us your best results in the AI art section. And, who knows... I might just present some of my own artwork in the topic over the coming year.
Happy April Fools, everyone! The AI art topic can be found here: https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=17982.msg546317#msg546317

Greetings, everyone! Contrary to popular belief, that link in the announcements section did not lead to a Rick Roll.
This is the place to showcase your AI art, whether it be majestic, horrendous, or majestically horrendous! Just please make sure to obey the forum guidelines on appropriate art. You know how the admins are...
With that in mind, here is the art that I used in my announcement post and the prompts that lead to them in the software.
Positive prompts: orange utahraptor with black stripes working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(I still have no idea why it wanted to give me a stethoscope in the art)
Positive prompt: a crow working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(Kept the stethoscope in the negative prompt, just in case...)
Positive prompt: pink oviraptor working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
Positive prompt: baby purple tyrannosaurus working on a computer server
Negative prompt: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
Positive prompt: Ducky from the Land Before Time using a M16
Negative prompt: ugly,deformed, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(The “Ducky with a gun” joke aside, I actually tried several permutations of this using actual species names and everything only to get horrific abominations that were less funny and more on the “will traumatize the membership of the forum” side of the spectrum. I think getting a good depiction of Ducky from AI might be the gold standard of prompt making at this point.)
