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

"What's that?" Stuey gulped, hearing the sounds of the flapping wings.

"Maybe just some leaves." Goldie said looking in the direction of the sound.

Whistler could only see a faint shape disappearing to the storm clouds, but wouldn't be able to identify it...

The vulture loomed in the torrent, waiting for the Duke to make his appearance...

"Be careful if you head out tonight Uncle Dukie," Hunch advised, "I think that vulture's still around."

The young owl was certain his uncle would criticize him for advising to keep his guard out, since the Grand Duke could hold out his own in a fight.

"It's likely safer, warmer and dryer then going for a stroll outside." Goldie said looking at the barn door that lead outside.

But the rain hadn't let up all the way, a fair amount kept pouring.

"Just be careful..." Hunch told his uncle.

Goldie sighs, I guess we can just wait till the rain is over.  At least we are all together." She said thinking of a positive point to their situation.

The worst of the storm shifted away from the farm, but rain still poured.  The blackest form instead moved with its dark master to another farm, where another family resided...

He Flew in ciircle slowly gaining a higher altitude.. " Now to go on a little hunt" He said to himself with the chuckle and flew off towards the south.

On a small plateau of dry land, some field mice were trapped.

They looked up and noticed the shape of the Grand Duke of Owls

Unfortunately for the mice, The Duke also saw them, and his mouth began to water as he slowly swooped down towards the mice below..

The mice began to run away as fast as they could, but they had limited fleeing space.

"Oh no oh no..." they kept panicking.
