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

I use Windows 10, although my laptop originally came with 8.1, and I'm often sure I shouldn't have upgraded. Things have mostly been okay since I upgraded, although I do have issues every once in a while.
Suddenly, I've written so many fanfics that I can't possibly list them all! :P

I own many hard disks with different operating systems. I use my Windows 7 with 32-bit the most. Until recently I had 64-bit, but a lot of old games like "Rayman" or "Wings of Glory" don't run with 64-bit.
With 32-bit I can use the Dosbox at least.
But It also has disadvantages with 32-bit admittedly. I actually have 6 GB Ram, but Only about 3 GB can be used. Moreover, many moderns games and Programs are incompatible. But these are usually Editors or other larger Programs which I'm only using seldom.

I've had my laptop for almost six years, came with Windows 7 but I upgraded to 10 last year.
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.

Well, I use all three:

- my main is an imac with High Sierra on it
- my portable laptop for work/travel has Bodhi Linux
- my old workhouse laptop (7 years old at this point) is a triple boot between Windows 10, Bodhi Linux, and Linux Mint 18

I got a new laptop as a college graduation gift a few weeks ago, and it obviously would have Windows 10 on it. I reset my old laptop back to Windows 8.1, since upgrading that to 10 was a huge mistake that I regretted until it was undone. So now that I have both 8.1 and 10, I feel like I have more creative control over my computer stuff. Take that, Microsoft! I use my new Windows 10 laptop primarily for PC gaming, while my old Windows 8.1 laptop is used for projects like artwork and fanfiction. I wanted to create some sort of balance between them. The new one has 8 GB of RAM, while the old one has 4.
Suddenly, I've written so many fanfics that I can't possibly list them all! :P

I'd had Windows 8.1 for the past 3-4 years, but this new laptop came with a build of Windows 10.
It wasn't as bad an OS as I'd envisioned. Has a few minor quirks, but nothing you can't fix by messing with good 'ol Windows Registry. :^^spike
Would it be possible for swimmers and flyers to get more love around here? Both figuratively… and literally. ♥

My main laptop is a triple-boot with Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Q4OS Linux 2.6.
I also just got my hands on an old laptop (about 12 years old; originally had XP) that I wiped and installed Bodhi Linux 5.0 on.

I have a MacBook Pro.

So I'm using macOS. It's a great OS for work.

I also install Fedora 29 at the MacBook Pro. I want to use an OS that I really understand how it works.

On my phone, I am using MIUI Global, which is a branch of Android 7.0. Because I have no choice…

Been with Windows 10 since 2016 or so?

For my phone, I have Android 8.0.0 (Oreo).
