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

Some where at one of the backseats of the bus a small Minccino slept peacefully, that was until she had to evacuate out of the bus. Still groggy from waking up so early from her peaceful sleep, the small chinchilla like PokÈmon looked around her surroundings while trying fully get out of her sleepy state. The young creature searched around her surroundings, taking note that she was in some sort of valley. Czacza couldn’t exactly tell since she was after all not fully awake, but she did however noticed that most of the cartoon characters were running around doing... stuff.

“What’s going on,” she asked to nobody in particular, standing there in pure confusion she decided to sit down on the ground whilst picking a nearby stick and started sketching different species of PokÈmon. Becoming rather engrossed at what she was doing she didn't notice how many drawings she had scrribled and doodled on the dirt, but she did know that half of them were simply created out of pure boredom...

"At least we'll all be arriving.  That is something." Droopy said.  

"Yea, it could have been worst." Wally said.

Droopy looked around the area, "Reminds me of the old west." He said.

come on, everyone " Stripetail repeated..  as he got back on the Doobies bus.. ' Lets get going. We have to pick up Scooby and Scooby Dee.. and I need to contact Dixie and Arlebe,,' he said upon sitting down " he tapped his wrist. " Dixie? come in>. its stripetail..
_ Dixie and Arlene had followed the streams a few miles from where they had fallen. ' neither of them really had any idea where they were..but they had decided that following the stream was better than statying where they were.. ' Dixie noticed her ring glowing " stripetail/  well we're walking along the creek, trying to find a place where it reaches the road " Well dixies that stream doesn't intersect with the road we're traveling on for another 250 miles.. ' TWo HUNDRED FIFTY miles?!?' dixie started. ' yes unfortunately.. we have planes clearing the roads ahead of dip.. which is slowing us down.. we won't reach Green River until very late tonight..'
Well at the rate Arlene and I are walking, we should get the road in oh a few days, if we don';t stop to rest.." ' thats not an option dixie. when you two get to the next clearing try and contact one of the planes to come pick you up. I'm not going to have Scooby and Garfield sick with worry that the girls they care about are stuck wandering about in the wilderness..
' Garfield's worried about me/ arlene said allowing herself a smile. ' Yes he is worried.  he told me that he'd  do just about anything for you if you get back safely.. well except for dancing.. on that score its a matter of pride, he told me..take that as you will..

"Can you do some sort of spell so the planes can more easily find them?" Wally asked.  

"Gary can get pretty big with that potion thing.  Maybe he can pick them up, or someone else who can fly, if the planes are to busy, and they can land where planes can't." Droopy said.

spells like that usually don't do much to improve accuracy, especially on modern planes' Stripetail replied as the bus continued moving.. " From this distance theres not much we can do, it is up to them to contact the planes. We're already behind schedule as it is.."

"this is more comfortable than that van," Tiger said, stretching his limbs a bit. The van was far more cramped.

"And maybe I can catch up on my beauty sleep," Kitty agreed, taking a pillow out of her suitcase.

~~~~~~~~

"Come on...come one..." Annabelle huffed, the Rottens' tires inflating rather slowly. Her magic occasionally didn't make work easier.

"Maybe they won't have far to travel." Wally said, "Or someone will see them and give them a lift."

"That could happen." Droopy said.

' well the repair bill is going to be a hefty one Scooby.  "i just want it fixed, i'm willing to pay anything ' what happened to your voice Scooby? stripetail said, looking at him cloesly ' i hit myy throat on the steering wheel Scooby said ' ' its actually an improvem,ent my friend,. you aren't overusing the 'r' anymore.  get something to drink, and get some rest.'

Meanwhile, a heavy aerial rescue squad from a nearby city was summoned. Interestingly enough, all the planes and helicopters were alive.

Major Lockie was one of the first to arrive. He lowered his built in rescue box near Dixie's van. "Everyone, get into the basket! I can take you in my hold and fly to Green River! And besides, the heavy lift helicopters will  "

Four heavy cables dropped from a heavy lift helicopter hovering overhead latched onto Dixie's van while another other heavy lift helicopter was lowering its cables to deal with the Rottens' van. Powerful spotlights from the other circling helicopters helped provide additional illumination.

"I wonder if she'll try something like that again." Wally said.

"She may try something at the next location.  We should all be careful and extra alert." Gary said.

"We may have to fight sooner or later.  We will win in the end." Droopy said, believing they would and also wanting to keep everyone's spirits up.

"Well, we going or what?" Bugs said and walked on the bus with the others following him.

Pooh grabbed his jar and dunked it into the tree, filling it to the brim, and hurried to catch up with the others.

- Arlene followed Dixie dow into the clearing. it was getting colder. ' can it snow this time of year/ She asked. ' well in high elevations yeah, but I don';t think we're high enough that we'll see snow" dixie replied. " If you do get snow, you can say "I told you so" arlene" " well i don't want to, Dixie ' arlene reply " i just want to get reunited with the others. crash at whatever place we're staying tonight and resume the games tomorrow. ' we also have that shopping I promised you.. you did say that dress was getting ratty. ' right.. and I can get you something for being so nice to me.. Arlene said. The girls kept moving and talking, better to do that and keep up the body heat (in Arlenes case) and to carry a conversation..

Tigger and Pooh hurried to sit down in their seats and once they got to the spot Lola saved for them, they sat down. Pooh's hand dived into his bowl of honey and he started to eat it.

"Why, thank you, Lola," Tigger expressed. "Me and Pooh bear over here came from the Hundred Acre woods," he explained.

Never heard of it" lola said '  So what brought you to the games.. like the rest of the toons in toon world, i needed money badly, after that horrible gabriel started putting the screws to everyone.. First she bankrupts Scrooge McDuck, then she steals 30 billion from the riches, and thats only the two most famous. Unfortunately I only got to the games after they started so I'm just looking for any kind of job, vendor, mascot anything really..
