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

Well, it will save us in the end " stripetail replied " Now be gone! You've done enough damage already.. Don't you have some more beaten-down toons to harass? He snickered.

Gabriel just chuckled back to Stripetail "Very well then, I believe, for now, I shall let you all live, come weasels....we have other business to attend to" Gabriel spoke as she turned around, only to stop "Oh, and if you think those....Lafflympics will be of any help to you....well....think again...." she laughed as she walked out of the inn.

Ian put his whistle away and took off his toon cap.  He reached in and pulled out a roll of red carpet carpet that rolled out across a bit of the floor and across the gap to where Scooby and Dixie where.  The bit over the gap with nothing under it standing in the air as if the floor were still under it.

_ Arlene came up to him " you certainly are brave sir" She said " standing to that beastly  toon!"
_ she doesn't frighten me  I've faced worse creatures before than her.."
Stripetail replied
_ Dixie tested the carpet and d slowly began walking over it. Scooby Quickly followed, he breathed a huge sigh of relief as his paws touched solid wood. "Thanks Ian" dixie said gratfully to Ian.

Ian nodded, "Glad I could be of help." He said.  Once Scooby was fully across he rolled the carpet back into his hat.  

"Now what shall we do?" Droopy asked.

"Fill the hole maybe before someone falls in." Wally said.

"Try out for the laff-a-lympics if you are sure you don't want to keep the hotel open.  There's lots of things you can do in that.  " Ian said.  "You've experience at running hotels, maybe you can be in charge or making sure all the participants have rooms or something."

Droopy nodded, "It was rather a surprise they won at all."

"It was great, getting to travel around the world and be with some great folks.  If only the rottens had not been there it would have been great." Wally said.

"I remember my father talking about it and he said it was great to watch." Ian said.

"Well, I'm artistic at least" Squidward added in.

Haley nodded to Stripetail as she flew off after him "Um, just what kind of things might I ask?" she asked him "I mean, is it in regards to the Lafflympics?"

Yes..among other things.. First we need to get out of this hotel.. and with that hole in the floor, we can't go out the front door, unless ian uses his magic carpet.. so we're going to climb out the window.. we're on the first floor so its not a big distance to the ground.. now as for the games, you need to spread the word, we must be ready for Gabriel's meddling at every turn.. she knows these games are the last hope for toontown.. and shes going to make sure no other rich toon helps to defray the costs.. first Scrooge McDuck, now, who knows what toons shes harrassed..

Haley nodded back to Stripetail and flew back up to the inn again to see who else needed help getting down.

A noise was heard, what sounded like a twister noise which came down the street before stopping in front of Stripetail.  It was Taz whom blurted out at Stripetail in his own language, as if he was trying to tell him something.

Simon could only just stare as Taz came up.

"I think he's trying to communicate with you Simon" Alvin joked.

Ian walked to the area where Stripetail had been let down.  He paused a moment thinking how to preserve his secret then got an idea.  He took off a heel of one of his shoes and put on a ring he had within then put the heel back on.  He put the ring on and jumped out of the  window, pretending to activate his ring and turned into a blue cgi version of Zok.  


(ooc: found an animation cell of Zok when I was looking for a picture of those who may not know of what he looks like.  http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/rnrdist_2087_76468087
