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

"Well did have pets. they all died from some type of illness. It happened last year all over the UK, some type of new illness wiped out 70% of pets" Wayne said to him as Wayne turned the PC on and connected the internet.

"Here is the headline. 2004 March 23rd, illness of pets strike massive killing up to 7 million pets of cats, dogs and many other animals. Virus known to attack the cells around the heart. Only lasted a month before disappearing but the damage hits millions of pet owners in the UK. Professor Higia Scientist Hero for finding the virus and destroying from the UK."

"2004 Apirl 21st. Professor of head of British Science knighted by the Queen for being a scientist that treats illness with a knife of light. He says in a statment to the press 'I do what I can for the public of the UK. I would do my job as far as my life lasts' these words showed that Professor Higia of Thomas Valley Univertise shows that science can do wonders if used correctly for the help of human and animals across the planet" Wayne read out the headlines.

"Processor Higia? the Higia of the Black Sphere war!?" RipRap yelled out

"Who? your got to be crazy. Higia is a nice guy, he even got a weblink to his home webcam, look" Wayne goes to webcam and shows a live feed of the processor with his wife and three kids eating at the table at the far side. "See. do you think this guy your Higia?"

RipRap looks "No it looks like someone else. SO there is a Higia a real Higia in your dimenison but his a scientist that helps? what kind is he?"

Wayne laughed "Human of course. he was born in New York City 1956 and moved to the UK in 1965, he became a scientist at the age of 20 around 1976. He got married with a low income they had he partly worked at a hostal in London part time to help the homeless out." Wayne said to RipRap.

The problem with being a nice guy is that once they are given any sort of power, it changes them." Stripetail said. Remember RipRap, there are many dimensions and there is one of us in every dimension. Each dimension is different, for example, in your dimension, I'm weaker than I am in this dimension. Higia was evil in your dimension, but he's good in this one."

"I understand what you mean, so this Higia is a respected loving and caring human which has a family." RipRap looks at the timer "We got only 8 hours and 43 minutes before we return to our dimension" RipRap said.

"That when I come with you to see the dimension you come from right?" Wayne said looking at him.

"Yes as a Parasauroton for the visit... btw why is that?" RipRap asked him

"Well... I am good at swimming and always like to see what it like to be a dinoton that in a profile is a great swimmer just like me. Well I kind of used my expercise for that profile but no name or what he looks like" Wayne said to RipRap going over to a draw in the next room pulling out swimming awards from 1995 to 2004

A Good swimmer I see. You could also visit my dimension." Stripetai said, handing him a crystal.'this is called a wishing crystal. It will not work for most humans because they have stopped believing in magic and fantasy. But It will work for you. You can change into any animal Wayne, eagle squirrell, badger, whatever you want."

" we have few humans in my world Wayne, and they live far apart from each other. I believe you would classify them as 'medieval'."

Archer continues to reread the headline over and over.  The name Higia could not ring a bell in his mind, but the face he had seen somewhere and he can not remember where and when.

"Very well then. Foxes are respected in our world, for thier cunning and quick minds. They're not particularly powerful wizards though, squirrells and badgers are the most powerful. Not to tout my own horn, but I happened to be the most powerful wizard in my dimension." He flipped through the Book. "Here the Chapter called the 'Greatest Wizards'  And here's the bio on me.It's really embarrassing how much they praise me.' He said red-faced." Well here it is. 'LORD STRIPETAIL. Universally considered to be among the five greatest wizards in history, Lord Stripetail cast a giant shadow over wizarddom. His upset of Marrin the Great ranks as one of the greatest upsets in dueling history."He turned to Wayne with a sheepish look on his face."See what I mean?" he then flipped through the pages. "There's 4 or 5 pages more of this, but I think you get the picture. He closed the book and handed it back to Wayne. And sat down and shook his head. Idon't like touting y own horn Wyne, I prefer being modest."

"Huh?" Archer looked at RipRap.  "Oh, nothing.  I thought I just had deja vu, but my mind's playing tricks on me."  He turns away from the computer.

"So anyone want anything to eat? I can check the cupboards" Wayne said to them "anyone?"

RipRap looks at him "A apple from that bowl will be fine by me... but what with that water in that?" RipRap points to a odd looking object with water going through it

"Oh that... I made it to help clear up the water from taps. it make it pour as spring water. the only one I made... took me 7 scrap yards and 2 months to make it" Wayne said to him.

Archer pauses, confused, but then remembers.  "Oh.  That was not me.  The Oracle created avatars to protect the Valley until I came.  He told me that an avatar he sent to follow you to a planet was destroyed in the explosion."

Yes, that planet was Galado." Stripetail replied. I recreated it  so that we could destroy the Black Sphere. We managed to destroy it, but barely escaped the planet before it exploded."
