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

Yes, everything is ready" Nosovar said, Pulling out  a small device and pressing it. "But before we raise the city, we need all our members present. " In a twinkling, Stripetail Snowpaw and Eva were all there. "I was  in bed Nosovar. why did you summon me?' Stripetail asked grumpily. "Because brotjher, we are ready to raise the city. The land we now stand on is part of the Aestorican Embassy." He motioned towards a buildng under construction in the distance."That is the embassy itself"

"Right." Picard tapped his badge "Mr Wolf, number 1, start the power up"

"Aye sir it powering up, to 30% now at 33% it will take about 5 minutes for full power to Grapping Tractor emitters" Wolf replied keeping the channel open to the captain.

"Stripetail we all ready in 5 minutes the devices that the Untpia Pleasre over Mars in our dimension built the devices to the parts of each blue print told them, the devices are almost fully powered up and will be ready to pull the city back to the surface" Picard told Stripetail

"I will keep that in mind but I can always unfreeze my touge with a simple firebreath" Picard chuckled a little

Firebreath doesn't work on it..." Nosovar replied, the smile on Picard's face vanishing. "The only thing that works on it is time. Trust me, I've tested it out on dragons, and they haven't been able to unfreeze themselves with firebreath. You would be no different Captain. Although you probably would be able to drink more than an normal dragon( due to your Sliver powers)before your tongue froze, the net effect of the wine would be magnified once your tongue froze. "

 He won't drink enough to freeze his tongue Nosovar" Stripetail replied.

Beer?' Nosovar made a face. "Like drinking pig slop, in my opinion. Why humans have taken a liking to it, I have no clue..."

"That is very insulting... even I am a dragon I was still born on Earth and I still don't mind drinking it some times. it harmless now with sythohoal having the same kick and taste of Beer but it don't have the drunken affect of it." Picard stated to him and quite offended by the comment Nosovar made.

Sorry, Captain, But the last time I had a 'beer' it still had alcohol in it.' Nosovar said. "That tells you how long it's been since I've had one.  With all due respect I'll keep to wine..."

"understood. And I seen the Earth in this dimension that Defence ring that right around the planet has more fire power then a fleet of 1 million ships. How did they manage to build such a thing at a scale such as that?" Picard questioned about the Earth in the Tri-Foundation Alliance. "it almost like they want to be noticed for all their massive projects..."

That is true to a certain degree" Nosovar replied, but the defense system was created in response to outside threats. Drastilatrix devastated the Earth when he left hundreds of years ago, before his rampage, humans had felt no need to create large defenses for themselves. But since he left, humans have been building ever more elaborate defenses, driven partly by fear of attack from above, and fear that they will not be able to defend themselves if an attack comes. This view is simply paranioa, the defense system is now so powerful thhat no small force could sucessfully overpower it. It would take the powers of a god-like creature, or an overwhelmingly vast force, to defeat the defense system."

"in our earily history it was our own selfs that was the ones we feared creating three world wars till it took one man to show that we not alone in space his first Warp ship the Phonix which brought the Vulcans to land on Earth in 2063 and start a new rain of peace on Earth. It took till 2150 for the world to become one and then 13 years later the first star ship Enterprise NX 01 was built and the very captain that started the Federation off." Picard stated about his Earth history "now it the head planet of the Federation, many races find Humans to be the most unusally spieces they've seen."
