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

rabb.it is a site allowing people to watch videos together. I got to test it yesterday after DarkHououmon suggested it to me over on the discord server.

Basically, it works like this: You create a room (need membership if you're the creator, it's all free and legal!) that others can join (and you can decide whether to make that room private or public). One person has the remote control (which can be switched around if necessary) which means he has access to a virtual browser which can be used like a normal browser. Technically, anything you can do on the internet can be shared there though the main purpose is to watch videos together with (online) friends :) Besides, there's a chat to communicate with all people in the room! ^^spike

Among other, we were watching LBT 1 and 14 via Netflix yesterday :D

Just thought I should share this, might do another session next saturday :D

PS: Sharing from your computer doesn't seem to be possible which is the only negative thing I have to say about the site.
Inactive, probably forever.

That sounds REALLY cool. That would be nice to do sometime. It's like we're watching something together...but we're not really there, next to each other.
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, such as the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and #1 by far - the original Sharptooth.

From 2017-2019, I was an administrator for the LBT wiki.

so, are you saying this virtual window is run off the website's server, and just streamed to everyone computer? It probably does that for security reason, since if it was just streaming the host's screen, that could be hacked into, and other people could look at your desktop.

sounds very interesting, though. :)
