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'll be fine Eva." Stripetail vanished before her eyes.

Stripetail appeared in front of a bus stop. "Remarkable."He looked around. "isn't it a bit early for Halloween, pal?' a human asked. "Halloween? You mean the festival of Souls, right?" "No, I mean when people dress up in costumes. There were two other folks dressed in weird costumes, they boarded a bus about a half hour ago. One was dressed like an Indian and the other was some sort of reptile. What are you supposed to be?" I'm a wizard.' Stripetail replied. "No kidding!' The Human laughed. "You're not from around here are you?" "You could say that. Where am I?"
'you're in England and the year is 2005. This is the planet Earth." the human said mockingly." A Bus should come in any minute, here it comes.  The Bus Pulled up. and the door opening. "Next stop Staple Tye. You must be heading for the converntion eh? the cost is 1.20." Stripetail reached inside his robes ad pulled out a bunch of coins.He handed them to the driver."These are shillings pal, we don't use these anymore. He handed them to to Stripetail. Stripetail put thrrem back andsearched his robes. he pulled out a bill . Will this do?" A 10.' sure that will do fine." 'Time travel does have its perks. Stripetail muttered as he sat down, ignoring the odd

"Currency has been a big issue in my dimension," Archer replied in whisper.  "Many countries trying to make their money more valuable than everyone else."  He pauses when seeing the bag RipRap mentioned.  "It's a very popular item throughout the world.  It's like everyone in the world has to have it.  Only some people like me chose to avoid them."

The person in front of them turns his head looking at them "neat costumers." looks back to see the stop just up the road from a libary he push the button and the bus stops.

"Where are we?" RipRap asked.

"Oh up to road from Staple Tye." the person said getting up and gerring off the bus.

RipRap gets up with Archer getting off as well.

the person stops and looks at them and at RipRap "I thought Dinotons was just a crazy thing I came up? who took my idea?" he thought "Hey you where did you get that costumer from? I told no one my ideas of making a scipted about Dinotons..." He demanded looking at RipRap.

Archer watches on in shock.  What RipRap said about us being mere story characters to this dimension was right.  But this guy certainly won't believe for a second that we are in fact characters from another dimension, so we have to think of something fast, he thought.

"Dinoton?" he finally said. "What's a Dinoton?  The costume was my design.  He's a...a character I created for my...Dinosaucer fanfiction!  This is one of my made-up characters... *cough* Talon!"

"That bull! I know since I draw it like what I see! look!!" the person pulled out a drawing from a folder and Archer saw it and looked more or less like RipRap. "And I named this RipRap!!! so take that off and show me the name tag so I can sue those..." the person pulled.

"Ow hey watch it" RipRap said to him pulling back.

The person's eyes went wide "YOur... your... real.... my my..." he falls backwards fainting.

RipRap looked at Archer "Lets pick him up and get to that set of trees on that hill across the road at once." RipRap said picking the paper up putting it in the folder then the bag. He picks up the person putting him over his shoulder with them quickly getting across and hide in the small set of 8 trees and bushes around it.

"It must be bad luck to mention good luck any day.  You think we should wait here until he wakes up?" Archer asked RipRap.

"Yes... we have to explain when he wakes up... unless he get shocked out again and faints... so I will use this waking up herb. it will stop him from fainting at least" RipRap said putting the herb it the person's face.

His eyes snapped open "Gah! get that out my face it spells like a rubbish bin!" he sits up coughing waving his hands then he looks seeing RipRap mouth hug open in shock.

"Erm a little help Archer..." RipRap said to Archer.

"I'll try..." Archer answered, and then approches and kneels next to the man.  "Um...hi.  This will be a little strange when you hear this...  My friend here is no human in a costume...he is a real Dinoton.  We both came from other dimensions, dimensions where we are nothing but fictional characters compared to your world."  He pauses and looks to RipRap.  "I really hope that didn't put him into shock again."

He touches RipRap's snout "Jeezs! it is real!"

"Erm... yes, my name RipRap" RipRap said and the person's eyes went wide

"RipRap!? My ideas are real in some type of dimension? I thought startrek was science fiction with dimensions but seeing you proves that there is such thing as dimensions! Hey I got a question for you! I used my name in my ideas. So here it is" the person said with a reaction that none of them was expecting.

"Go ahead" RipRap said to him nervous

"What is the Oldested and wised Dinoton's name!?" he asked

"Wayne Dielves... is that your name?" RipRap asked.

"Not the Dielves part. It Dolphin" he answered seeing one of the cubes he picks the dinoton one up. "Hey I just thought about this last night... a cube that can turn anyone into dinotons... in my story it foribben technology though... why do you have one?"

"Oh well I do. It just what us Dinotons keep quite to our allies" RipRap said to him

"I didn't write that..."

"Because we live a life in our dimension not all you write will happen. So some things will be different to your ideas and dreams" RipRap said to him leaving the person confused a little staring at the cube.

"So this dimension is mainly the root of all the other dimensions.  Our dimensions soon branch out we become more or less living creatures."  Archer added, but then looks at RipRap.  "Was that right, or was I kind of repeating what you said?"

"you said it right on the mark Archer." RipRap nods.

"So... you live a life that not based on my scipt... wow that cool." Wayne said with a smile looking at the cube "Is this the image holo selector?"

"Yes... but why you... oh no you don't" RipRap takes it away from him. "Look I don't want to sound mean but this is not a toy"

"Well I am 19 for god sakes..." he said back taking the cube from him. "I'm not going to push this button, I did come up with this in a idea last night, all I am looking at is the dinotons you can pick from that it... I want to see any that I didn't put in my pad"

"Fine..." RipRap answered looking at Archer "He a bit of a brainbox isn't he?"

"Well, you gotta give him some credit.  He did develop your dimension and a lot of your technology.  Besides, I can't even tell which cube does what."

"I guess I do" RipRap crossed his arms.

"Wow you got a Parasauroton in here! my favioute dinoton that I made. Never thought of a charcater to be in my story though..." Wayne said looking at the holo image. "Hey why are you two here any way? if this place is called the Centre of Dimensions? isn't there some type of barrier that stops dimensions made from our dimension from entering it?"

"Well yes... we came because someone else used it and we here for a time of 12 hours then return to the dimension we came from" RipRap said to him.

"Someone came here? why? what are they going to gain from here?" he looked at them for a answer.

Archer looks at RipRap with a worried look.  "You did say that if this dimension is destroyed, then all the other dimensions are destroyed as well.  But what if only  one thing here in this dimension was destroyed, then what will happen then?"

"That easy..." Wayne said looking at him still holding the cube "It would zip. Nothing will happen only if you kill off a planet with all the lives on it you destroy many dimensions with it... but the number of dimensions would be unknown. But I know that if Earth was then trillions of dimensions will be gone" Wayne said to him.

RipRap looks at Wayne "Are you sure your not from this dimension?"

"Hey I only know cause I am into things like this" Wayne answered.

RipRap nods "I see... well that answers it for you... in 10 hours will be heading back"

"Erm... only asking... could I come along?" he asked

"Hell no! you will be spotted in seconds" RipRap said to him.

"Well not if I use this and make myself a Parasauroton" he answered with RipRap unable to reply seeing that this person got the better.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Archer said to Wayne.  "It seems to me that you are the root of the Dinoton's dimension.  What would happen to that world if something bad happens you, or if somehow you can never return to your own dimension?"
