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

So it would be set in modern day & not in the Dennison books era?  Including the things that conflict with Gurney's books?

So I guess the only things canon would be the mini series, not any other dinotopian source like the Gurney books, tv series, other fiction books done by various other authors?  Like a separate universe from the Gurney books.


I could try being Zippo, I liked his character.  I'd have to rewatch parts of the mini series I have on dvd.

I may consider joining. I don't know. Personally I prefer Gurney's Dinotopia over the miniseries.

I would also, but I guess few folks have read those books, or taking the best from both versions.

I read a bit of the first book not sure of the author and saw the miniseries only. It was on the Sci Fi channel a few days ago and that's were I got the idea for the rp.

Makes sense, if you only have knowledge of the mini series hard to add in much other material, even from James Gurney, who created Dinotopia.

The only bits of the mini series I can really watch, after seeing the whole thing once is 1 chunks.  From the start to just as the caravan sets out is the first.  The second is their arrival in waterfall city to when the 2 brothers are fighting in Zippo's dwelling and fall off the whatever it is into the water.  Just me I'm sure.
