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

"Really?" The Miao trio smiled. "Thank you Mr. Stripetail!"

Dongwa then looked at the time. "Time for my morning kung fu practice...."

dixie stirred from her sleep and fumbled around the darkness before finally finding arlenes bag..'light' she called out, and hr ring gave off a flash of light that temporarily gave her discomfort, ut after a few seconds she was able to point out where the zipper was. '  dixie began unzipping it but it soon stopped. dixie felt inside and found the problem ' some of the fabric was caught in the zipper,. she managed to work it free and  and after a few minutes she was able to completely unzip the bag. ' there you go' she said tiredly to ar;ene who climbed in and waited while Dixie zipped the bag back up again. ' thank you dixie. you're a real friend. I.. i really like you. 'arlene said in a low voicve. thanks. i like you too Arlene.you've got some real spunk.i promised to help you with getting garfield to dance with you, and i'll do my best on that score. but right now. we really need to get some sleep.. the games are resuming tomorrow, and we will need to cheer on the team..' ' are they coming to pick us up' arlene asked ' when stripetail did say that they were.. but unless youcan  think of something to while away the time until then.. '
- well theres the shopping we had planned.' arlene said. ' that for later dixie said 'we could swap stories about family
i don't have a family arlene admitted ' garfield.. is my only family.. although he does have a problem with making fun of the gap inbetween my teeth.. ' she smiled showing Dixie that she did in fact have a gap inbetween her front teeth.. ' i've seen much worse. it could be fixed with braces, if you really wanted to.. ' couldn't afford it for one, and two garfield would make fun of me for having it.. ' arlene you won a million dollars, you could afford it. ' dixie said firmly..' heck after a few more events  you'll have all the money you'll need.. ' i do need the grand prize for reopening the studio..arlene said. fiddling in her dress which happened to have a pocket ' whats this..' she said pulling out a book ' point your ring so i can read ' she asked ' dixie moved the ring over the book which read ' strips of arlene' oh.. these are all the old strips with me in it' arlene said smirking opening it and flipping to a page.. ' ah. heres kiss #4 from garfield.. lets just say i wasn;'t in the mood for puckering ' she said pointing to a strip in it garfield had grabbed arlene and planted a kiss on her, only to get scratched up for it. ' dixie laughed ' well he had it coming i say..' thanks i'll show you more tomorrow.arlene said setting the book side and laying back down on the sleeping bag.

While the cats were entering the hotel, Heckle and Jeckle entered the town, riding a single mule, their packs hanging over each side of it.
"I don't think I could stay awake a moment longer!" Jeckle groaned, clutching his companion's back.
"Neither can I, chum." Heckle replied groggily. From the slowness of the mule's movements, it was exhausted too.
"I say, old featherhead, there's a place we can stay!" Jeckle exclaimed softly, pointing to the Green Hotel.

They tied their mule to a post, removed their packs, and went inside the hotel, where they saw the slim feline manager.

"Ah man, that stinks," Dongwa said about hearing the games had been cancelled.

"I'm going back to bed," Sheegwa yawned, seeing Stripetail was right about the time.

Stripetail lit his staff giving off a whilte light and revealing that this room had two rather small beds a couple candles on a table next to them and a window overlooking some railroad tracks. ' well kids pick out which bed you want " he said I won't be going to bed for awhile yert, I have to check in the other teams.. and then in the morning the mayor to permit the games to be held.."
 the hooded claw had started to nod off as the card game conituned when the baron spoke up' alright everyone thats enough for tonight. Nothings really been settled apart from Annabelle here losing about 30 dollars.. ' why don't we put the cards away for the night?"

"But it was 30 dollars lost honestly...right?" Annabelle asked.

"You keep telling yourself that," Belladonna grinned, having gained 20 of that 30, giving the money a little lick out of victory.

The Miao siblings all jumped on one bed. "I call the pillow," Sagwa smirked.

"No, I do!" Dongwa laughed, pouncing.

Droopy, Wally and Gary carried in their luggage to check into the hotel they were supposed to stay at.  

"Looks farther back in time then the previous place were at." Wally said.  "With a few more stops we may be going to Bedrock or that place where Mightor hangs out."

Tiger and Kitty got room 204. "They're gonna pay," Kitty commented rather matter of factly. "This is our town, and they have to go mess it up!" she sharpened her claws, and angrily swiped the wall, leaving scratch marks, but she was still ticked.

~~~~~~~~

"Greetings," the Duke of Owls said to Stripetail as the squirrel exited the hotel. "I missed most of the commotion that occurred on the ride, from what I've heard...."

" Gabriel has been busy around here threatening the town until the mayor cried uncle and agreed not to hosty the games. i'm going to have to change his mind, but for now, all i can do is soiign in everyone, and let everyone get some sleep..
it was then that the yogis bus pulled up in front of the hotel, and several yawning  Yahooeys straggled out of the bus..

The magpies, noticing the arrival of the next line of guests, looked at the guestbook. Too exhausted to scale up three floor, they both had their eyes first room open on the first floor.
"We'll have room 107." Jeckle said to the manager.

Sheegwa lit a small chinese candle their parents had gave them as a travel present for a little night light.

"It's cute," she smiled.

~~~~~~~~

"If we can disarm Gabriel," The Duke smirked. "I'll gladly devour her..."

two dollars please' the manager , whose named was marsten, smiled ' enjoy your stay in Green River
 stripetail paid for the other rooms then headed back across town and get to the bus. he had originally planned to stop at the base to get Dixie and Arlene first, but  the team had been so tired that stripetasil had decided to check them in and fetch the girls later. Now that that was done, he would go get them and yes have them stay with scooby for the night until arrangements could be made for the rest of the stay..
- Dixie had started to talk about her family, but stopped after a few minutes when it was clear Arlene was asleep

"Ok everyone, let's all sign in then head up to your rooms to rest.  I'm sure you're all eager to get to bed soon." Droopy said looking at his team that was present.  

"I know I am.  I found it hard to nap much on the bus." Wally said yawning a bit as he also did some stretching.  "I wonder what the beds here look like."

"I'd guess not to different then usual."  Gary said, looking around at what he could see of the lobby.

Both magpies dug through their bags, and pulled out enough money for a week's stay for both of them.
"There you go, sir." Jeckle said, placing their combined cash on the desk.
