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

If the jaguar does kill you then it really will be a once in a lifetime encounter.

Well....you're not wrong. :lol

Thank you for the answer about the candle thing and confirming it is a real holiday.

I was trying to resist when I saw your name but can't. I have to ask it I'm sorry.

Do you talk about Bruno?

Okay serious questions now.

Above you mentioned there was a scene in Encanto that showed a Colombian holiday, and then in another post mentioned a holiday called Day of the Little Candles. Was the flashback scene with Alma that holiday? Was that what was going on with all the candles?

Do you guys really eat arepas there? I feel stupid for asking but I really want to know.

How common are jaguar encounters?

Disney dropped the trailer for The Lion King prequel.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o17MF9vnabg

The characters seem a lot more expressive then their last attempt at a 'live-action' The Lion King, the lack of emotion really killed that movie, it was beautiful, I won't deny that but the lack of emotion made me not care to watch it again after seeing it once.

I'll be giving it a go, but going to set my expectations too high but I'm also well aware I'm not the target audience of these films anymore, but I'll never stop watching Disney films. I'm really interested in this story.

Like who is the white lion pride?

And at least this one is a story we haven't seen before and not just a scene-for-scene recreation.

I mean...it can't be as bad as Wish right? I waited until that one came to Disney+ and glad I did because I turned it off halfway and I didn't miss anything from what I read.

Red Dead Redemption 2.

Came for the yee-haw cowboy, staying for the story.

I caused a town massacre.

But some guy shot my horse so it was justified.

I’m not too fussed about my old account there’s nothing attached to it other than bad fanfiction I want to pretend doesn’t exist.

And considering my daughter cried because I wouldn’t let her climb in the oven with the lasagna it’s definitely ‘fun’.

None of my parenting books prepared me for that.

Welcome!

I know there are members from all over the world and different cultures here and everyone gets along just fine so you’ll fit right in.

Your English is fine by the way. You write it better then some native speakers I’ve seen.

Also congratulations on the pregnancy!

Hey there, it’s me Nahla.

It’s been a long time since I last showed my face.

And I have long forgot my old password..and lost access to my old email.

So I just used my old name and added a 2 to the end of it.

I’m not sure how many people remember me, I’m not exactly the most impactful person but…hi I'm back.

My life has changed drastically since I was last around here, I did a lot of soul-searching and turned my life around.

For once I finally got real help and was diagnosed with PTSD, and found wonderful connections that helped me realise what I went through with my family was not okay and was abuse, that just because I was not being physically harmed it does not mean I was not being abused.

I can now heal and go on with life and I have.

For starters, I am now a mother, I have a two-year-old daughter who I will protect from anything that wants to harm her.  Even if the way she came into my life isn’t exactly the happiest I wouldn’t give her up for anything.

I have learnt to accept myself the way I am, including my sexuality.

As a result of growing up in an extremely homophobic family, I thought there was something wrong with me.

I was taught a woman liking women was wrong.

So I denied it, I dated men thinking it would help me get over my thoughts and I’ll be ‘normal’ and while I did love those men in my own way, it felt wrong, like I was betraying myself by being with them, and I was lying them them too. I loved them as dear friends.

I’m lesbian, I have accepted that now.

I have married the most amazing woman who has adopted my daughter as her own and we own a bakery together.

We have purchased a home.

This time ten years ago I thought my life was stuck in a rut I could not get out of, that happiness was something I could only dream of, that I had to wear that fake smile to hide the pain.
But I found my happy ending, I've found joy in life, I found purpose and hope.

I’ve been going on a trip down memory lane and checking on old sites that I used to frequent, this one was on the list. I remember the friends I made on here, how I felt accepted.

I’m not active in the fandom anymore, but clicking around I see some familiar names still around.

Glad to see you all made it through a certain global pandemic.

I’ll have to introduce my daughter to these movies when I can get her interested in a show that’s not Bluey that is.
