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

Welcome to The Gang Of Five, Notched Sharp Jaw! :smile (Interesting name there.)

Hey, another Dragon Cave member! Are you new to this? If you're concerned about getting enough views for your dragons, I'd recommend posting them on one of these sites:
http://dc.makegames.de/
http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/
http://www.petsgalorespa.net/dragon-cave-hatchery/
http://lair.silverdrak.de/
http://dc.fo-c.us/hatchery/
(Just post them on one, mind you; too many views and they'll get sick.)

Hmm…bit of a vague question there. Depends on what you want to do. (I assume you joined because you're a LBT fan.) I guess I'll just give you an overview of the forum:


Announcements

Announcements: Board rules and important news from the GOF staff. Don't start posts here.

The Welcome Center: YOU ARE HERE. :p


The Land Before Time
For strictly LBT-related topics.

1988 Theatrical Release: This is for topics relating specifically to the original movie.

General Land Before Time: Contains topics on the sequels, discussion threads on the characters, and topics on the LBT universe in general.

Land Before Time TV Series (2007): Topics relating specifically to the television series, including episode discussions.

Fanart and Fanfiction: This is where you can view LBT stories, artwork, poems, etc. made by GOF members (reviews encouraged), and share your own.

LBT Projects: This is for special LBT fan works such as music videos, games, and singing projects, many of which are group efforts.


Role Play
This section is for role-playing games.

Land Before Time RPG: This is for RPs strictly based on LBT (no outside elements such as humans, or characters from other series).

Role Play Discussion: Contains discussion threads for RPs. To join a RP, you usually request permission to enter in the respective discussion thread of whichever RP you are interested in.

Random Role Play: For RPs not relating to LBT, and LBT RPs with non-LBT elements.


Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Non-LBT topics go here.

The Arts: Discuss movies, TV, literature, and music, and share non-LBT-related artwork and writing.

Hobbies and Recreation: For topics on video games, computers, sports, travel, and other pastimes.

The Party Room: The place for games, jokes, trivia, and the “Ask Me” forum, where you can ask questions to other members and start a thread where other members can ask you.

Caption This!: For posting humorous captions to photos, screenshots, etc.

The Fridge: This is for general discussions that don't fit into any other section. Also includes “star day” threads for giving birthday wishes to other members on the appropriate dates, and the home of the GOF Member Awards.

After Midnight: You won't be able to view this forum until you reach a certain post count. This is for serious and potentially controversial discussions. It also contains various threads for posting photos, and a section for posting announcements of prolonged and possibly permanent absences from the forum.


GOF Government

The Rock Circle: This is for sharing, discussing, and voting on proposed changes to the GOF.


I hope that was in some way helpful. (Just ask if you want to know anything else; someone will be sure to answer.) Enjoy the GOF!

A lot of rp's have a discussion thread in the roleplayign discussion board where you can post that stuff. theirs no forums-wide rules on anything like that, so you'll have to look at the particular rp, and see how the person running it wants things done.

There's also a newish section that you can start your own thread to post your characters in.  Some others have done so.  

http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...hp?showforum=56

Though as mentioned by Vonboy some gm's may prefer you post the char info in the discussion rp thread, or a link to where your char is.  You can ask the gm of each thread to see what their preferences are.
