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

A Fun Idea

I was thinking about maybe an abridged role-play. This would include making fun of the original LBT, the sequels, and the TV show. Anybody in for it?

And this is not a way to get the script for the LBT Abridged Series. this is just a fun idea.

One thing that would make this fun(ny) would be to break the fourth wall as well as do whatever commonly happens in an abridged series.

Sounds confusing to me, or else I do not understand.

Hello:
 Me neither, it would be nice to have some explanations since I am not familiarized with the "abridged" idea :unsure: .

I can help as well. Seeing as I am currently making an abridged series, let me nswer some of the questions for ou.

An abridged series is exactly like a spoof of a movie. You take a cartoon, most popular ones are animes like naruto and yugioh, and you rewrite the script for one of the episodes. You can follow the plot of the original episode, or you can completely ignore it. The whole idea is to make a comic show that kind of makes fun of the show's faults. For example, in my Land Before Time abridged series, I am making comment to the fact that the characters don't get any older throughout each movie. However, you don't want to completely change the character's personality, otherwise it ruins the episode. Also, throughout an abridged series, you break the laws of the universe by making cultural references, like other movies or tv shows, songs, or games.

The whole idea is to make a very funny show. Hopefully this answers some of your questions.

One of my favorite things about an abridged series is the breaking of the fourth wall. The characters know that the audience is there, and they talk to the audience.

It may be fun, but is still a bit confusing for me.
