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

New guy here

Well, where to start...?

Basics I guess - I'm Rhys. Born, raised and live in Perth, Western Australia, all 15-and-three-quarters years of my life. I enjoy reading, writing, gaming and most of all motor racing (if you hadn't already guessed that by seeing my sig and avatar).
Some of you may have seen me on fanfiction.net, where I suppose my LBT interest was rekindled. I used to love these films when I was younger, and since discovering the fan fiction archives I'm right back into it. I found this place through the Wiki, snooped around for a while, and tonight I thought, what the hey, might as well join up.
So, here I am. This site's going to be my chillout zone, to take a break from my main hobbies, which are:
-Online virtual racing :lol:
-Writing reviews on racing games and mods for RaceDepartment (huge simracing site and community)
-And (regrettably) schoolwork. *sigh*...

Feel free to call me by my forum name, any derivative of it... or just plain Rhys. Looking forward to posting up new chapters of my fic and getting to know you all, and having a bit of fun... :yes

Rhys :D

Yes! Greetings fellow Australian (though I'm stuck on the other side <_<), may I be the first to welcome you aboard.

I'm pretty new here myself, but you'll find the folks here are really nice.

Welcome Southpaw, you'll love it here.  I'm glad to see we're getting so many Australians now, Australia has always been on top of my list of countries I really want to visit.  Unfortunately a trip there from New York is no small matter

Thanks so much for the welcome!

Just got back from one of my many online races (crashed out :p ) so I might as well get posting now... :D

Hiya Rhys, and welcome to the GOF :wave!

Like Raga, Australia's on my huge list of places to see, and I would love to snorkel or even scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef.  Just gotta train to scuba dive first :yes.

I thought your screen name sounded vaguely familiar... Just out of curiosity, what LBT fanfic(s) did you read that got you reinterested in the series?



Pronounced "pan-JEE-uh". Spelled with three A's. Represented by a Lystrosaurus.
