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

Yeah... my readers tend to put Ron, my character, through the wringer a lot.

Nah, its just that the Big Bad is a very powerful and terrible abomination of all the natural laws. Think small scale Cthulhu.

I don't think I could begin to describe what The Slender Man is here. TVTropes has a very comprehensive article on the matter, though.

:exactly  Though, there is the alternate theory that he's just on a completely different wavelength than us humans. For one thing, masks confuse him.

Hey, guys. Listen. It's been difficult for me to admit, but... Somehow, back in last year, some of my progress into Fellowship got erased. I'm still not sure how. A part of the reason that this is taking a while that I've been hesitant to speak is that I have to do it over again. It's not your reaction I was afarid of. I just don't want to talk about it. What I had was my best yet, and I now I have to try to react it.  :cry  But it's coming. I do work on this everyday. The updates are coming and this year, I am going to finish this monster of a paper, that Finnish production of The Lord of the Rings, included.

Oh yeah, I've taken care in replacing what I lost that's already out on the web, but I also lost stuff further along. I've since then put this paper on a new flashdrive as well. The parts covering what happens in Bree, though, I have to rewrite from scratch, and I managed to get all the way to the hobbits and Aragorn on the road

Well take your time and try and reconstruct what you wrote down as best you can.

I will. I'm trying to let it flow naturally as I did before. Though I do remember almost word for word my description of the overacting the guy who plays Butterbur did.

I swear every inch of that man's face contorted to their capacity... All in just the scene where he greets the hobbits and tells them Gandalf's not been around in six months.

Sorry to update without...updating again, but I'm feeling the flow again. I'm hitting the stride once more. I've taking a while because while I've had the opportunity, I just haven't been feeling it until now, so to speak. It's coming, I think I'm back to where I can do steady work on it again.
