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

Definitely! Great exercise and a chance to immerse yourself in nature and break free from the rat race for a while. When I was younger, my dad would take me and my little brother deep into the Sierras for weeks on end. It's kinda weird to think he's now too old to do hikes that anymore, he always loved them.

Would you boycott a CGI version of Land Before Time?

Whoof. Man, that's a tough call. I really hope that wouldn't come to pass, but I wouldn't be able to resist seeing the final product, kinda like how I had to go see the live action Lion King just for the uncanny fascination of it.

I have! I've seen the first 4 Jurassic Park's, and while nothing can compare to the original, they are guilty pleasures for me. I'm kinda suprised I never went to see 5 and 6, they didn't get good reviews but it's unlikely they're going to fail at the reasons I go see Jurassic Park films. I should really do that at some point.

My favorite character from Lost World was Nick because we share the same name, plus I can't believe he survived, homie had no plot relevance or reason to escape the island whtsoever, and he's like the only protagonist character from any of the movies I can think of with that distinction.

I still haven't seen the lion king remake. I'm almost surprised by how well I've managed to stay away from it and forget it exists haha.

I actually never really watched it back in its heyday, my parents didn't allow TV when I was a kid and it had already kinda slipped off the public zeitgeist by the time I went to college. I can absolutely respect what the show's accomplished and how world-famous the five family members are, but I don't know as much about the show as most people. I've certainly seen a few episodes here and there though, over the course of my life

What did you think of Aaron Spann's voice as Littlefoot in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion Of The Tinysauruses?

Can't say I have any strong opinions on it. Was that the one where everyone thought the VO was too old for the part? I just watched some clips on YouTube and tbh he sounded fine to me

No! I just wanted to hear your take on his voice after Thomas Dekker and Alec Medlock.

Pretty much anytime someone sends me something on Twitter and I make the mistake of scrolling down to the replies, tbh

Have you heard the Land Before Time TV Series song "Oopsies"?

Yup, I've seen the whole TV Show! It didn't have a huge impact on me, in general I find the songs pretty poorly written, and only a few episodes really stood out from the chaff.

Update: Holy crap, "Oops-Eeps" was from a TV episode? I thought it was from one of the movies, and then the show just repurposed it like they did to "Adventuring" and "Lone Dinosaur". Regardless, I'd consider the song middling at best, it's not terribly great to listen to but it's not offensively bad. The fact that I misremembered it as a movie song (Which are usually far-better written) is honestly a massive plus point in it's favor I didn't expect, haha

What did you think of Meghan Strange as the voice of Tricia?

I thought she did great! Was also nice to have another important family character, after pretty much nothing but Topsy and a handful of nameless parents for however-many movies. Glad she stuck around after her inaugural movie.

What do you think of the Winnie the Pooh franchise?
