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

Hi everybody!

Hello there! I am Spiketail (original name, I know  :rolleyes:).

Actually, I came into LBT rather late, when I was about 13, so I wasn't lucky enough to see it during my childhood. However, I have been a huge fan of it since.

I am one of those people who doesn't mind the sequels and I don't find them to be as bad as everyone says, even though there has been a ridiculous amount of them. It cannot be argued that the original is the best, though.

I do like to draw and I am currently on an animation course, so I might put up some fan animations in the future (if I can work out how to use the animated GIF format). At the moment, I can't draw the characters that well, but I'm sure I will improve with practise.  :)

Welcome with us Spiketail :)
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community. Please feel hearty invited to join our discussions or start threads of your own :yes
The opinion on the sequels is by no means universally negative. While a few say that it is only the original for them I think the majority here likes at least some of the sequels (though I think there are few who like every single one of them).

Hiya Spiketail, and welcome to the GOF :wave!

More fanart in the future?  We like fanart of all levels of expertise, so take your time and be sure to show it off whenever you're ready :D.

In the meantime, c'mon in and join the GOF fun!

It's difficult for me to pick favourite characters because I love all of the gang and their individual personalities. Cera and Littlefoot are both interesting characters, but I also think Ducky and Spike are very cute (are they the underdogs of the whole series?). Petrie is also likeable, though I'm a little fed up of the assumption that he confronts his fear of flying multiple times in every single movie...

My favourite sequels would be numbers 3, 4, 5 and 7 (although the ending to that one was a downer, the storyline more than made up for it).
