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

Why do you boldface your dialogue in the “In The Land Before Time” RP? :confused

Kinda something I picked up not too long ago, it's supposed to make it easier for readers to make out dialog from the rest of it. Although I have thought of stopping because sooner or later I'll forget, and I hate being inconsistent.

Personally I think you might as well. The boldfacing probably isn’t necessary; as far as I know, most everybody in the RP is pretty good at reading other players' posts carefully, and recognizing when characters are speaking. (Many of them use italics to signify that a character is thinking, or speaking in Sharptooth, but you're the only one who uses a special format to highlight dialogue.)

What other fandoms (as in book, movie, and/or television series that especially interest you) are you into besides LBT?

Bump, along with a new question:

You mentioned in the RP discussion thread that you'd been in the hospital. What happened? (If you'd rather not share, that's fine too. :))

Car crash. Totaled my vehicle but at least I was spared  :D  
I can give you better details if you want, when I go through near death experiences I tend to record every second in my mind.

I must admit I am interested, but only if you don't mind. :angel
