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

Is there a special reason why you don't just delete it, Petrie?
Can't delete the boss account of the GOF. :p  I don't recall why I made a second account.

Don't worry about it.... I find it even surprising, that you new Greenland was part of the Danish Kingdom
Oh I know quite a bit of random information.  I blame it partly on my curiosity to look up anything that crosses my mind and partly on my slight sporcle addiction.

Ummm..... Not really sure.  I don't just wander aimlessly looking for random facts.  Its just that if something pops into my head I don't let it go, I look it up and see what I can learn about it.

You got lucky to get the name Chomper, what with him being one of the most popular characters. I bet there are very few character names left that haven't already been taken if somebody wanted one now.

I believe Ducky, Spike, and Ruby have not been taken with any extra characters.

My user name is (rather obviously) taken from the continental amalgamation of the same title that formed in the Permian period (~300-250 million years ago) and broke up during the Jurassic period (~200-145 million years ago). Likewise, my avatar is a Lystrosaurus (a dicynodont, not a dinosaur), the most ubiquitous vertebrate inhabitant of Pangaea at the beginning of the Triassic period.



Pronounced "pan-JEE-uh". Spelled with three A's. Represented by a Lystrosaurus.

well the meaning of my username is a bit complicated.

but well the first part of my username "Belmont" is referance to a clan(or more like a bloodline) of vampire hunters from the Castlevania videogame series each weilds a sacred whip called the "Vampire Killer".

the second part "2500" is just random I chose that because if you put "Belmont" and "2500" together it sounds good.

I like Star Wars, so Jedi just came naturally. I wanted to combine that with a number I'd remember, and I wanted to use 8472 because I watched a lot of Star Trek Voyager and remembered some aliens in the show were called Species 8472. I felt that was too long, though, so I shortened it to 472 and tacked it on. I think it sounds good.

Also, it's the meaning of life with some luck thrown in.

Thought I poster here before? Oh well. I'll use several aliases from the past few years.

Compy-Rex is, obviously, a merge of Compsognathus and Tyrannosaurus Rex

BrassMonkey, just a random name I used at another forum to do some "detective" work a friend asked me to do.

DingoMan, hmmm, based of the Crash Bandicoot character Dingodile I suppose.

Dr. Manhattan, named after the Watchmen character, I still use this name.

PuppiesWithGunz, used when a friend said an old Stick Arena clan name, either Dogs With Gunz, or Cats With Gunz, originally a joke turned out to be another alias.

Well, I'm bad in choosing names in general so I chose my favourite character and added the combination of numbers '123' because I thought it looks fine and is easy to remember (not to forget it's easy to type ^^)
Inactive, probably forever.

"The Anonymous Person" is simply one of my many nicknames I came up with, several of which I possibly could've used as a username as well, such as "TheComicReliefSource" or something like that.

Well, Dosu is a minor, underrated and yet very cool character from the popular anime and manga series Naruto. Though not my favourite character, I always liked him and his dress-sense!!! And dinner? Well, I'm a bit of a glutton...
