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 really like Rinkus (is it unusual?)

I don't know why, but I have this instinct in my head (if there's a character in the movie that's a villain, your automatically supposed to hate that character)

I know Rinky-pinky was nasty (I didn't like the parts when he slapped Petrie out of the way, and the part where he grabbed Pterano's wing and all 3 flyers slammed into a rock), but his funny moments made me laugh.

His colors make me think of a strawberry sundae with whipped cream (his pink skin) (and his white neck ring)

I look at this picture 2 ways (the neck cutting motion he gives "Make the longneck tell us where it is or *neck cutting motion*)

he's pointing to his wing showing how long it is)

and he doesn't look nasty in this picture below :

It's kinda funny how he plays with his tail *giggles*

And Jitterydragon made Rinkus funnier in his "Rocks fall everyone dies" videos

of his head falling off 2 times (I love it when his head falls into a cave, and you can hear his voice echoing "I can't see a thing..... It's too dark.

(That had me laughing and shaking on my stool)

 :lol  :lol

I'm just saying that I do love Rinkus.

That's ok, isn't it.     I know it's strange and unusual to love a villain, but I really like Rinkus. (he's both comic relief and a villain)

(And if you wanted to know, if he came to my house, I'd let him in, (as long as he kept a good attitude and not threat to harm or kill me)

I've read at least one LBT fanfic where the writer made Rinkus a nicer character and not having a (I will kill you right now) attitude.

Come to think of it, I wonder what Rinkus's reaction to me would be if he were to read this....

Is it wrong to like a villain? I never thought it was.

This is one of those rare cases in villains that everyone tends to run into.  Yes, the producer and writer make it and so that we are meant to hate the villain.  However, sometimes the villain is so good at their job that they steal the show from any other character in the movie.  Those are the kinds people end up loving.  They become a likable villain.

Trust me, it's very normal to like a villain.  It's just that they are hard to find.

Lex Luthor is my favorite character in the Superman franchise.

Iago is my favorite character in Othello.

Frollo is my favorite Disney character of all time.

No, it's not unusual.

I don't like Rinkus really, but I do like Sierra, so I sort of understand where you're getting this from; I know what it's like to like a bad guy. I also like Ozzy, and I really like Dil and Ichy. Heck, I LOVE the original Sharptooth! Even though he killed Littlefoot's mom I still think he was awesome! I know, that's completely wrong, but I can't help liking villians if they're awesome!

When I was a kid I sort of thought Rinkus was some sort of old creepy lady flyer. I was at least fairly convinced he was female when I first watched 7 in 2002. But then this year I found out he's a guy. And Tippy  :blink:
