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 do you mean?" Goldie asked pausing in what she was thing about as she looked over at Snipes curious as to what she meant.  

She looked up to see what she could hear about the storm and such outside to try to hear how things were going.

"I can't actually tell..." Snipes replied.

"It'sthe Duke, run!" Edmond screamed. Dori huffed, she had just calmed him down. "Scott.." She started before she felt a cool breeze too.

At the same over the boy's farm, another dark figure loomed in the darkness of the storm...

"Hmm," Goldie said, "Can you tell anything?" She asked Snipes.

The Duke planned to flood the world with endless rain, which would make catching prey easier. it would be worse than the last time he had tried.

The sad (almost creepy) thing was, despite the plan, the Duke arguably wasn't as evil as the vulture. Yes, the big owl ate his prey, but he didn't really torture it....

Hunch recalled the day he and his uncle had thought up of that plan.

"Oh well.  Maybe its not anything to bad or odd." Goldie said, hoping it was true.

FLASHBACK.

"Uncle Dukie, what do you mean you want to cover the whole world in rain?" Hunch asked.

(OOC:  Sorry.  I've been waiting for my cue and forgot all about it.)

Perfect...  Knowing the owl was inside, the vulture made his move.  Around the house, the winds began to pick up and whirl at high speeds.  Any plants close to the building were uprooted and flung around, a few of which slammed against the windows and shattered them.   The increasing wind speeds began to rock the house and seemingly start to shift it out of its foundation...

"hat the...what's going on?!" Scott shouted, seeing his house become separate from the ground.

Whistler looked out the window into the storm, when something caught his eye in the horizon.  Through the limited view of rain, he could make out a shape's silhouette from lightning bouncing around it.  It's been a while since he's seen tornadoes, but he sees a darker speck seeming to rise up from the ground.

Excited, he starts whistling loudly for the others' attention, waving them to the window to see what he's seeing...

"No......this can't be happening...." Edmond frowned, hearing a familiar chuckle.
