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

Are there any other LBT chatrooms out there?

I was just wondering. The only two I've ever seen are this one, and this one .

Are there any others?

There are quite a few other LBT boards, but most of them have fallen silent now.
There are many land before time forums at yahoo too. The most active of which was: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/landbeforetime2/ (It too has pretty much fallen silent).
http://www.network54.com/Forum/260035/ was founded as an alternative to the other N54 forum when there was no mod in the old forum.
There are predecessors of the GOF, e.g. http://p066.ezboard.com/bwelcometothegreatvalley and
http://p072.ezboard.com/bgangoffive.
http://p223.ezboard.com/bzaroffslandbeforetimeforum is another board which had its great days but is no longer active. I don't suppose there are enough fans to keep that many boards active in the long run.

I wasn't sure, but Malte confirmed my beliefs on this matter:
This board and the N54 board are the only two active LBT boards on the Internet, for all intents and purposes.  Considering the number of members each board has, we honestly don't need any more than these two, anyways. B)

Actually, I had little difficulty finding these two.

Thanks, Malte. Dang, I didn't realize that the discussion community for LBT was so poor.

Yeah it can't really handle more than a board or two.  Even topics with have seemingly endless number of boards or chats (ie Star Wars) really only support a few big boards and not many of the little ones.
