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

"Glad to meet all of you." Ian said.   "Sounds like you're talking about making a movie." He said.

"All important tings to think about." Droopy said, "As well as the director, script writer or writers.  Wither to go original, license something or use something in the pubic domain." Droopy said.

"I'm Haley, and that there is Fu Dog" Haley added in, talking to Ian "You would be meeting my brother as well, but, he's not here at the moment"

Fu Dog thought for a second on what Droopy had said "Yes, but the problem is, where are we going to get all of that stuff? You know, a director, script writters, licenses and what have you, I mean, in the state everything's in, I doubt they'll come by that easily"

as they were walking along Yogi Bear was walking in the oposite direction towards them. " Hello there" He said kindly, normally he was dressed with a hat and a tie today he had left those at home in his cafe " He was headed to winnies for an after-work snack..
"Oh finally someone who could maybe point us in the right direction" Simon said with a relieved sigh as he saw Yogi Bear.

Theodore however could only stare in shock. "You're Yo......... Yog.............................. Yogi Bear" He finally manages to stutter out with a big smile.

"I thought you looked familiar. Me and my brothers watch your show all the time. My name's Simon. And this is my brother Theodore. And this is my dimwit I call a brother Alvin." Simon said.

"Yo" Alvin said casually.

"If you could help us that'd be great. You see Alvin here got us lost. We're trying to find the Pontiac Center. We have got a show there in less then 6 hours and Alvin here got us lost...................................................again. He has a real history in getting people lost"
Simon said.

"I guess he's busy doing homework?" Ian asked Haley, remembering back when he was a kid and had to do homework.  He doubted things had changed much over that time, though kids nowadays had cellphones, computers and such.  

"Some of that can take time." Droopy said.

Ian nodded, "And for licenses you have to go to the license owner.  A newspaper syndicate for newspaper comic characters, Disney for Disney characters and so on." Ian said.

"That will save money." Droopy said.

"A good script writer will be needed.  Maybe more then one if it'll have romance, action comedy, singing, or a mix of things like that.  For minor parts I have some, friends, I can ask who.  Not sure if their acting ability.  Though you want at least some to have good or great acting ability.  Maybe some from the local theater actor group and or drama school or college." Ian said.

"Well I don't............." Simon started.

"Oh, come on we can't rock out on empty Stomachs Simon, we should go get a bite" Alvin said.

"I agree with Alvin" Theodore said.

Bolt: I have got to admit it has been a while since I last ate.

Cadpig: Yeah, me too.

Dale: I agree.

They all follow Yogi to Winnie's.

"But then, what could I do?" Haley asked as reheated the last of her pizza before eating it "Because, to tell you the truth, I haven't been in a movie before, nor have I worked on one before"

Ian looked at Stripetail, "Are you sure you can afford all this?" He asked.  "I'm not rich but I could, perhaps, put some towards the movie and or the laff a lympics thing.  Not a lot but some perhaps."

"Hello Yogi, nice to meet you." Droopy said.  

"Think we'd want to do The Count of Monte Cristo?  What sort of movie would you like to be the star or female lead in?  I'm sure you have some favorites." Ian said to Dee.

GIR jumped up onto The Chipmunks table and gave off a laugh "Tacos! I need tacos!" he more or less yelled.
"GIR! Leave them alone" Zim then looked to Winnie "If you have any of these tacos, can you please give them to GIR? Otherwise he just wont shut up about them"

"It's been a while since I read the book, but I recall there can be quite a few folks, and some action scenes and at least 1 person the audience can root for & other good things." Ian said.

Zim just ended up giving off a grumble at what Winnie had said "You heard her GIR, there are no tacos here"

"Oh, then a sandwhich!" GIR replied back.

"GIR, I don't think she has anything like that" Zim told GIR before turning back to Winnie "Just give him something at least"
