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

"Sure.  Terry said, "Where is the paint and brushes at?" He asked looking around.

Mause pointed to a pile of paint cans and brushes in the middle of the ship, near the mast.."There you go" She smiled at the young-looking man.. who apppeared to be somwhere in his thirties, although one couldn't be sure..

"Thanks." Terry said, looking at the dragon and thinking he seemed to be acting like one of those bully digimon he & Hawkmon had to fight before.  If so he and Hawkmon were more then ready and not afraid to do so.  

He walked over and picked up a paintcan and brush with one hand, keeping the holding his hat.  He was glad he and Hawkmon and Poromon had drilled & practiced on what to do if danger popped up while he was in his civilian guise.

The dragon turned away and picked up a paintbrush, getting to work on the ship.

Eddie leapt up over the edge of the ship, walking over to get another bucket of paint. He had so far covered a lot of the side of the ship. He glanced over at Terry. "So we have another new crewmate?"

"Hello there." He said waving to Eddie.   He looked for a spot and went over to start painting.  He set his hat down, bottom up, with Poromon inside it, listening to the goings on.  


Dan shrugged and continued painting.  He wondered if any more folks would show up in unusual ways.

Who is that fellow in that fancy dress?' Jack said turned from steering the ship and looking back at Terry. "Welcome aboard the Black Pearl,mate, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.. you're now part of my crew.."

Terry looked in the direction where Jack was and waved, "I'm Terry, nice to meet you." He said.

"Things seem ok so far." Poromon whispered, "even if they are pirates."

"He shows up out of nowhere and isn't around for more than five minutes and he's already second mate," Drake muttered angrily, his tail waved from side to side in agitation.

Mate, you ruined your chance at second mate, when you turned the Pearl white.." Jack gave Drake a look. "Every person on this ship has a job to do.."

"Well, I am fixing it," Drake said. He hoped he would have time to wander around when they got to Tortuga. He wasn't used to staying in one place for very long.

"He sounds like a big bully." Poromon whispered from the hat.  Terry didn't respond, not sure if it was that or if Drake was upset for some other reason.

Aves grudgingly continued his scrubbing, looking upon the washwrag and the surface of his scrubbing with a dull expression. He was trying to formulate a plan of escape from the Pearl

"Perhaps I should borrow one of the boats for a night" he said to himself "and head towards the nearest land... wherever that may be..."

"Having second thoughts already?" Drake asked, standing next to Aves. He hadn't overheard what the fox had said, but it was easy enough to make out his thoughts from his expression.

"You're not going anywhere mate" Jack said, from the steering wheel. "We're only a couple hours from Tortuga, there we'll step off for a few days, get some drink and food, have some fun, and load up on crew and cargo.."
