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

"I'm more of a soprano, somewhat baritone," Miss Kitty explained, "And I'm in the same boat as you, I'm not familiar with southern stuff."

' Baritone is a male voice, female is spoano or alto.. so you'd be a low soprano then.. " Dixie said  " Lets hear you, Miss Kitty..' She said taking a seat on the bed, next to Scooby. Tiger and Miss Kitty and sat down on a pair of stools..

"Whoops, sometimes I get the terminology mixed up," Miss Kitty apologized. (OOC: In reality, i just did there.)

Tiger was now wide awake, always enjoying listening to his girlfriend sing.

Miss Kitty sang a few beautiful notes.

I don't think it was your singing, that caused then to faint, more likely, its the fights they get into.." Dixie grinned.. "I can just imagine the fights they get into.. never had guys fighting over me, although there ewas the one time I drunk fan dressed up like a girl and danced a waltz with me, his breath was horrible, and he was wearing way too much makeup..

"Yeah," Tiger nodded, "I have over 12 siblings, and I've been meaning to see them again...."

"And they aren't vegetarians like you dear," Miss Kitty recalled.

Droopy continued to listen to Valiant and take notes.  

Wally wondered out to see if he could smell where something to drink could be found.

"Cat wise, about 30-50, somwhere around that number," Miss Kitty replied, "But add the dogs and mice you probably have around 100 animals total."

" what state is it in? or do you not know that? " Dixie asked, as the lights suddenly went out. " the room was lit up by a huge ligthtning strike followed by a large boom in the distance.. " lights are out.. great.." Dixie did not know that Tiger and Kitty were from a different time period, where they were from the US had only about 40 states.

"Utah," Miss Kitty replied. The lighting strike made Tiger jump in shock and then he clung to his girlfriend, him being scared of lightning.

Wally stopped where he was when the lights went out.  

Gary reached into a pocket and pulled out what looked like a needle size stick.  This he held in between his index finger and thumb and tapped  it against the palm of his left hand.  With a pop it expanded to an appropriate size wand that he could hold.  

"Now how did that fair spell go?" Gary said to himself as he thought for a bit then started to wave the wand in a certain pattern as it started to give off some glowing glitter and music started to play from somewhere and very skilled voices started to sing a song.   At the end of this there was a ding and a marble size and shape of light appeared at the end of the wand that gave off  a candle amount of light.  

"Sorry, best I can do since I'm not a fairy." Gary said.

"How'd you get that? I thought only fairies, fairy godmothers and such were allowed or supposed to have a fairy wand." Droopy said.

"I am authorized." Gary said.  With a practiced wave and movement he finished with a flick of the wand and a tiny bolt of magic came out and landed in his hand, forming a business card size card.  This he handed to Droopy who looked at it.  "See, I'm an official honorary fairy, fully legal and all." He said.  

"how'd you manage that?" Droopy asked.

"Oh, new a few things I did."  Gary said, leaving out it was in another of his forms and a few decades ago and in another animated land.  "Not being a fairy I'm not very good at fairy magic so don't ask me if I can turn you into a footman or give babies the gift of song or beauty since that is beyond what I can do.  I think I can clean a dress but not turn it into a princess quality of dress with glass slippers."

"That's the case for me," Miss Kitty nodded, "I wanted to get away from all the craziness, the hustle and bustle of New York."

"And I followed her," Tiger remembered, "Though along the way I got mistaken for a God by some indian mice and nearly ate my best friend, but everything turned out ok."

"I'll go and look for Wally." Gary said as he walked outside the room.  He used the light from his wand, not a lot since it could only make a candle level of light, till he found Wally.  

"Thanks, I can't  see in the dark to well.  By the way how did you get that wand, it looks handy." Wally said.

"I was given it from a certain fairy." Gary said.

"Neat, I came out here looking for something to drink.  Since you have a magic wand could you make me something to drink." Wally asked hopefully.

"Only if all you want to drink is a thimble size drink.  I'm not to good at Fairy magic.  Let's see if there is a kitchen or a bar or something around. " Gary said & went with Wally looking for a kitchen or a bar.
