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

Agreed. And immortals do not have a monopoly on wisdom, she comes in all forms, and gives of herself to all, although some do not use her gifts as well as they should be used. Lancelot wasted his gifts" Marlin said. "He was a grreat knight, Arthur trusted him implicitly, they were as brothers.."

"Very true." Odysseus said, agreeing with what Merlin said.  "Maybe things can be different when Arthur returns." he said.

Cynder leaned her head against her hand as she listened to what the others were talking about. She would have liked to have gone back in time and changed things around that seemed like a better thing to have than immortality. Sparx was talking to Spyro in the closet in a hushed voice, probably talking about her. Cynder growled and wondered if Sparx's parents were anything like their son. She decided it was unlucky since they had done a pretty good job raising Spyro.

I wouldn't want to live forever' Nani said. "I'd rather go back and bring Lilo's parents back to life.."
_
Yeah, I'd like that, more than living forever" Lilo agreed.

"If I could, I'd bring Mio back to life," Taiga said. "And I wouldn't care whether she decided to love Wataru instead of me."

Nago frowned. "Come on, we just defeated the shurlups. We should be celebrating and not so depressed."

"Yeah, Its a miracle none of us died, man!' shaggy nodded. "I'm going to eat some of the garlic bread cheese pizza in the kitchen. I'll bring it out, in fact to share."
_
If I could change anything, I'd make it so I didn't have to leave the Great Valley all those years ago.." Ali said..
 "40 minutes!' Stripetail called out..

"I'll help you," Nago said, intent on making sure the mood improved.

At the call of the time, the door to the closet was flung open and Spyro stormed out. He glanced back at the closet and the dragonfly that hovered in it.

"I'm sick of listening to you bad-mouth Cynder," Spyro shouted. "She's changed since all that time has passed and you should very well know that!" He glanced over at Scooby. "Sorry, but I couldn't take it anymore."

The dragon growled and stomped out of the room, Cynder jumping up after him.

"Maybe we should bring a little more then just pizza?" Nago suggested.

Dixie frowned. "Apparently, I'm not the only one who wants to to slug you right now' She said glaring at Sparx.

Time to Beat is 40:03" Stripetail announced. "Dixie If you would please" he motioned to the chair.

"WEll, more than once, but it has been a long time since I was there" ali said.

 Shaggy brought in the huge pizza, along with the Slushie Stripetail had created for Sparx. "Mr. Merlin Sir, could you do a little magic for us" There was a loud crackle as Merlin put his fingers together and stretched them. "If it is to create a huge spread of food for you, young man, well it will take a bit for me to work up the strength to do it You're asking a lot of this old magician, " Merlin smiled, "But I'll be glad to do it."

"Food magic, not many specialize in that area of magic." Odysseus said watching what Merlin did and listening to what Shaggy said.

"Yes, most choose combat sorts of magic." The Tourist said.

"I've come across my fair share of those types.  Though Demona does some of the darker and more evil sorts of magic also." Brooklyn said.

"Couldn't someone else take her place?" Sparx asked fearfully.

Cynder guided Spyro up the stairs to one of the rooms on the second floor.

"You were only there once?" Taiga asked. He glanced over at Ducky and Petrie. "I thought from how close the three of you seemed that you at least visited it frequently."

'You think Cynder would be better after the way Spyro' stormed out?" Stripetail said sharply. "No, Dixie volunteered to do this, and so you're stuck with her, for an hour, or less, she only needs to put up with you for a little over 40 minutes. My advice, start telling jokes"' Dixie went into the closet and sat down on the chair and Stripetail closed the door starting tthe clock.
_
Dixie Glowered At Sparx. "Go ahead Sparx, say whatever you want to say, rip on Cynder  some more.. "

No Doubt, but that is the way of evil magic. " Merlin said. "I hope you like turkey, mutton, and wine, because It was the last feast I remember.." he waved his hands in an expssive gesture, and a huge round table overflowing with food fell into the middle of the room.  the baby Shurlups, who had taken to thier older counterpart, and had been sleeping in her arms, stirred as the table landed with a thud.

Sparx chuckled nervously. "Have you heard the one about the traveling salesman?"

"It will work just fine," Nago siad, reaching towards the table and passing the food around. Taiga grabbed a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass.

"Help me," Sparx squeked, backing against the wall of the closet to get as far away from Dixie as he could.

Taiga leaned back and sipped the wine. Nago took a leg of turkey for himself.

"You didn't tell me  the joke " Dixie said, a smile on her red lips that showed her canines. "Spyro's too much of a nice guy, Sparx, all he had to do to last the last 20 minutes was to threaten to turn you into a candle if you didn't shut up abbout his girlfriend.."

"Very useful spell." Brooklyn said looking at all the food that had appeared.  "I wonder if the Grimorum Arcanorum has any food spells." He said rubbing his chin.
