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

Land Before Time... Collection!

I started a new site called The Land Before Time Collection. The main goal of the page is to list 'all' items which have been created regarding the Land Before Time. This means official items, not those who have been created by fans or people trying to make money on Ebay by selling images as stickers. As Malte has already said, it will be most likely impossible to list all items there are in this world, however I have decided that I shall give it a shot and make it a pretty large database.

The idea is based on this website, which I found to be very inspiring. The amount of items listed on there is incredible. Malte has been a great help so far by allowing me to take pictures of some of his items, and I would appreciate the help of anyone who has any Land Before Time item.

Now this website is far from finished. Some categories don't even have anything in them yet, but this shall be fixed soon. I am sharing it with you guys since you may have this special Land Before Time item which you cannot find on the page, or since you found an interesting auction at Ebay which lists an item you've never seen before.

Little question: Does anyone know of a website where they create a HTML code for a hit counter which does not link back to that website? I don't like that kind of advertising.

You need PHP and MySql knowledge to create a hit counter.  Of course there is a way to make one solely in PHP, but it involves creating a text file for every counter you want....not very efficient.  But if you don't have a host that allows PHP or you don't know PHP, you can just forget it.  This is a pretty good host that offers PHP and MySql databases:
