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

Wow we admins actually managed to conduct and finish the awards on time this year. :p

With the conclusion of the appreciated member voting, all of the award winners have now been determined.  The winners are now authorized to pick the award banners from the draft thread and add it to their signatures and also as a post to this topic so that the runner up in each category knows when it is their turn to pick a banner. Runner ups may take their pick after the winners (runners up will need to pick a different draft from the winner but they do not need to mark their award in any way as a runner up).

And here are our winners:

Fanart Award
Winner:  Flathead770
Runner Up:  Darkwolf91

Feedback Award
Winner:  Sovereign
Runner Up:  Rhombus

Friendly Member Award
Winner:  Ducky123
(No Runner Up)

Proactive Award
Winner:  Rhombus
(No Runner Up)

Role Play Gamer Award
Winner:  Nick
Runner Up:  Serris

Appreciated Member Award
Winner:  Fyn16
Runner Up: Hypnobrai

I would like to congratulate all of our winners and runner ups, and to thank everyone for making the Gang of Five the great community that it is! :)


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

Congratulations to all the winners and better luck next time to the rest of you. I was kinda hoping to win at least something; eh, you win some, you lose some.

Congratulations to all other winners and a big thank you to everyone who voted in the awards this year! :) I'm really happy to see that the turnout increased from 2016 and I truly hope this trend will continue. As for my banner, I've chosen this one.

Yes, congratulations! I'm the runner up for the appreciated member award, thank you everybody! :D
I just have to wait for Fyn to choose his banner first :p
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.
