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

"Wasn't that neat superhero Hong Kong Phooey on Scooby's team?" Droopy asked.  

"He was, and a nice guy he was." Wally said.  


"Ok." Ian said then looked to the others.   "Eddie Valiant wants us to go to his office.  Hope you don't mind.  It's pretty nearby." Ian said.

"Eddie? Wasn't he the guy that saved Toontown last time?" SpongeBob asked Ian.

"Aye, that he was, him, Roger and Jessica Rabbit" Scrooge replied.

"Well, this Eddie guy better have a good plan" Squidward added on.

"Ian, if you may, on your note there, if Gabriel hasn't been by the zoo, tell Haley to meet us in Eddie's office, and put down the address as well, we don't want her getting lost" Scrooge also added on to Ian.

" Excellent! I've heard about all the things he did for toons during the wAr" Dee beameb' It would be an honor to meet such a famous person.."
_ You had Hong Kong Phooey on your team" Dixie started " Scooby! honestly, you were the captain of an Laffalympic team, and you had all sorts of famous people on your team, and you never mention it to me? For goodness sakes, you WON the Laffalympics!
_
Rell.' Scooby started " its been a long time since then  Dixie, and while I'm sure Scooby is proud of his previous experience, you don't need to hound him on it.." Stripetail said mildly rebuking her. 'With all due respect, my Lord, but I would have mentioned being on that team proudly, and constantly.  it would certainly rank high on my list of personal accomplishments.
_ aren't there other evebts that would rank higher..? Sport isn't everything.." Stripetail replied.

"Sure." Ian said as Wally handed the paper to Ian. "I'll write down the directions, though maybe a friend of mine can take her to Eddie's office.  I'll lead you there if you want then contact a friend of mien to take the note to the zoo.  Unless you folks know the way." Ian said.

"Does this look unsure to you?" Squidward asked Ian, pointing to his face.

SpongeBob let off a laugh at Squidward as Patrick raised his hand, as if to say he knew where to go.

Scrooge looked to Patrick "Alright then lad, where is it?"

"Oh that's easy, it's right over there" replied Patrick as he pointed to Winnie's restaraunt.

"No," Ian said to Squidward, not sure exactly what was going on, "You look very sure." He said before turning to the others.

"Ok, if you are sure you know the way." Ian said as he wrote down Eddie's address and how to get there from Winnie's resturant.

"Wow, the Eddie.  I never thought I would meet him.  I wish I had time to get a new hat and stuff." Wally Gator said.

"He did a great many things to help many toons." Droopy said nodding.

As the group began moving down the block away from Winnies resteraunt, they began to see glimpses of the abject poverty many toons had been reduced to. Tom and Jerry  saton the doorstep of a crumbling house, their eyes bloodshot from not sleeping. Next door, Garfield, Arlene and Odie looked through garbage cans for food.  Arlene noticed the group and headed in their direction " I'm very sorry for bugging you she said to Stripetail who paused to glance at her, as Odie and Garfield came up to them, as did Tom and Jerry. "Do you have any food? See, since the studio that made our  cartoons closed down, we've been living off garbage. same with Tom and Jerry here. "
-
Why don't you come with us?' Dixie asked " We're on our way to meet Eddie Valiant.."
_ THE Eddie Valiant? Arlene fairly squeaked " Oh, of course! The thing is though, there's a long line of toons who line up each day to ask him for help, he's likely swamped.
_ He'll make time for us.." stripetail said firmly gazing at the newcomers.

Droopy & Wally walked along with the others, wishing they could help everyone they saw.  

Ian, back an Winnie's Restaurant looked around for a place duck into and not be seen.  Looking around he found a handy place as quickly as the power rangers always can, sharing the same ability to do that.  He looked around to make sure he wasn't seen and no one was around.  He then changed to his toon roadrunner form, which was the same size and shape as the wile e coyte roadrunner except his feathers were various shades of red.  Holding the note he took off at top speed and headed towards the zoo.  The road behind him alighting with a line of small flames that died away a bit behind him, and the road pulled up briefly behind him before settling back down as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile Eddie, fr the what seemed the fiftieth time that day, had to turn a toon away. " Look daisy I'm sorry Donald got laid off but I'm only one guy, and I have literally dozens of toons asking me for help.." Daisy Duck turned away with tears in her eyes " Its that witch Gabriel! Shes ruining things for everyone here in toontown! I don't blame you Eddie, you're doing what you can.. but who else have we to turn to? in this economy, people don't care about struggling toons, just like they didn't care that  we were segregated during the war..
_ why don't you marry Donald? eddie suggested " Cripes you two have been together for 70 years, isn't time you tied the knot?' Daisy looked at him, fresh tears in her eyes " We couldn't afford it, even in the best of times, besides the scripts forbade us from getting married, same deal with Mickey and Minnie, who have been together even longer than us.

Mr. Krabs was in Eddie's office as well "Ya gotta help me! I was run out business! All my money bringing customers driven out! And all because of that Gabriel woman!" he explained to Eddie.


Haley got the message in the end and read it as she turned to Mr. Twiddle "Sorry, but I have to get going now, however, just remember if Gabriel does come around, try and hold back as best you can" she told the zoo keeper before waving back at him and taking off for Eddie's office.

Having delivered the message Ian headed off for Eddie's office.  Finding a handy place to switch back to his normal flesh human form before he went in.

"I do wonder what her ultimate plans are.  Usually villain types do have an ulterior motive." Droopy said.

Mr Krabs, like I've said to Daisy here and many others over the past days and weeks, there is really nothing I can do. there's only so much I can do , for so many people, and my limit has been exceeded." eddie sighed.  : if there was anything coming to town that would employ some of you, that would be a godsend. But Gabriel has seen to it that there's nothing, absolutely nothing.. I hate being so helpless and being unable to help,but there's absolutely nothing I can do.

Mr. Kravs let off a sigh "Yeah, people must miss their Krabby patties and thanks to Gabriel, I even lost my star fry cook and Squidward"


Haley managed to arrive at the office before everyone else and looked around "Have I missed them?" she asked Eddie "You know, Scrooge, Scooby, Droopy and the rest of them?"

" No, i haven't seen them, but chances are they are on their way here like so many others.. scrooge, I heard about how Gabriel used a new kind of dip o n his horde of cash.. and I had though all the dip had been washed away.. well she managed to make some more.. and she will use it..

"Yeah, they're also after some help from you, from what I understand, on the note I was given, that you're some kind of legend" Haley told Eddie as she landed on his desk "Is that actually true? Cause I don't know the whole story myself"

Ian walked into the office. "They should be here soon." He said.  "I do wonder why she is doing all this."
