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 birth of a glorious new age! (April Fools 2020)

This whole thing honestly took me completely by surprise! On April 21, 2019 I had independently decided to create a bunch of Rhett emotes for next years April Fools' considering how  :PCera  :bestsharptooth were a success in 2019. I had no idea that that there was so much more planned for Rhett. Like Vojeds said, it was fun roleplaying as our Rhett cultist as we sometimes do, and extending that mentality to the uninitiated on the forum   :rhett_grin
It was a blast!

Oh, wow--I completely thought you and Mumbling were in cahoots from the start! :wow That's pretty hilarious!

It was certainly quite a blast for me to partake in this event yesterday. Although, I got tired acting like a Rhettist. I still hate him deep down.

Grats for all the effort put into the prank! Changing the css, icons, emotes, and everything. Yeesh, where's the love for a character who deserves it, like Ducky? :p

I must admit, I was afraid a few people would blow their top so I couldn't enjoy it to its fullest, but at least my hatred for Rhett is now solidified. :OhYou
Would it be possible for swimmers and flyers to get more love around here? Both figuratively… and literally.







That one guy who writes LBT fanfiction and accidentally makes them five times longer than he'd originally intended.

Wouldn't it be cool if, one day a year, the board got this kind of makeover with a popular LBT character? Rhett's had his day, so now we need a Littlefoot Day or a Ducky Day or something! Just imagine it! :duckyhappy :^^spike Maybe each year, it could be a different character's turn to be celebrated on the day, and we could all vote on who it would be in advance...Fan Favorite Day!

Or something. :facepalm Don't mind me, I'm not even a Spike yet...I am in no position to make these decisions!

Excuse me, what does a silly forum rank have to do with the validity of your input? :p
In my opinion, I think this is an awesome idea!

(Just expect me to vote for Mo) :lol

Well she did know about the emotes as she had to add them, so I at least knew that was coming. It probably looked like I was involved with the rest because of how fast I jumped into character haha.

Haha drawing Ducky's face 10 times is the real nightmare here  :sducky
