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

Hi!

Hello, Gang of Five, I'm WeirdRaptor, a strange little Meat Eatin dino who orders pizza instead of hunting. I'm normally native to the "First Land Before Time Forum" where I'm known as Drew L. Hi, Malte!

Hi Drew L. / WeirdRaptor!
Welcome to the Gang of Five!  :)
I'm glad that the posting problems are obviously solved now :)
By the way, are you Drew L. the very one WeirdRaptor who used to post at the network54 forum, but has not been heard of for a while?
By the way, I'm afraid that the "advertising" Arvens and I did for the Gang of Five at the network54 forum was misunderstood as a call to abandon the network54 forum. That is definitely not the case, I'm myself far too attached to the network54 forum to think of that; I'm posting at both places.
But it would certainly make discussions on the land before time more interesting if there are more participants in one forum rather than smaller numbers of fans scattered over several boards, the way it is right now.

Yep. I'm the same WeirdRaptor who posted here.

Andyes, Arvens, I can post here, I just had to figure out how.

We don't let them get off the ground. :)  I have faith in who's a mod and admin so that's what keeps this place under control without issues.
