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

The absolute must have for any dinosaur fan, or for anyone who wanted a pet but either cannot afford one, isn't allowed, or is allergic, or whatever. He reacts to sounds, certain objects, sudden asence of ground, touch, temperature (nothing more heartwrenching than seeing him shiver) , smells. Like a robot, he can be powered down or recharged, but like a pet, he explores, can be trained, recognises voices, and even gets sick and injured if you play a bit too rough, or neglect him.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Pleo.





Anyone else got one of these little guys? I have to admit, I'm so taken by the little guy, I'm getting my first real job and starting a savings jar just to buy one myself. They're definitely on the pricey side ($469), but 1. That's a little cheaperthan  a real dog or cat, without the cleanup, 2. It's alot cheaper than it sounds to me, since I am in Britain, so that's around £229, and 3. It's alot cheaper than most other robot-pets, like PaPeRo or AIBO.

Discuss.
