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

Stripetail gave him a glance, then began the outline.  An image of a town appeared on the wall behind him. "We must try to make the Great Valley into a town, and blend in with the other towns on this planet."

Patience Mr Tops" Stripetail said putting up a slide. "Money is something you will need when you set up this village, you won't be able to buy homes or food without it. " Stripetail pointed to the images of the coins on the wall" You must familiarize yourselves with them. The least valued coin is a penny "He held up a small coin. "Next, is a nickel, then a dime, a quarter, and then a half dollar. " He continued, holding up each coin as he mentioned them. "I'm going to pass the coins out so everyone can feel and examine them. Megan if you would be so kind as to pass them out" Ali's mother went up to him and picked up the coins, and gave one to Topsy, Cera, Petrie. Grandma, Tria, and Ducky.

You're welcome Tops. Stocks are very fickle, you can gain or lose a lot of money in a short period of time.  Glad I could help you out.." Stripetail replied.

"I see this called shops work but your town plan would destory trees that I remember, can't we redesign it so that none of the trees are taken away. Since we've been given the power to read I looked on something that places on Earth that build around trees and untouched, can you do that so we don't lose what makes the valley as the Great Valley" Doc spoke to Stripetail looking at the design being a bit unhappy about it being placed where trees should be

We'll try and see if we can accomadte your request, but we are trying to integrate the great alley into the rest of the society. Which require development, which is clearing space for homes and cutting down trees.' Stripetail replied.

Topys shook his head "Not to what i read as well, the dinotons kept all their trees and built around them with plants even growing on their buildings, we would prefer to have that building style then this. like these dinotons we respect our land and be part of it not destory trees" Topys spoke in defence with Doc and many others starting to say things about it as well

Q smirks "Well they leart fast and right about it, all dinoton cities, towns and villiages are built around the forest trees, a city that over 300 miles is a whole forest and all they did was cut some roots that would not harm the trees and branches to make paths that about it and look at them they are warp capable" Q whispers to Stripetail in the ear and finished with a.

"Think Dinosaur, think Dinoton and you will see why they are starting to reject your plans. they not the only race that would not risk the life of a tree. you better bend to their wishes before your little plan goes down the drain and they take risk against the Void directly cause what you saying is going down that path, bend to their wishes it not you that live there it them and they know more about it then you would in a trillion years of living outside it" Q stats and sits back down with a grin

Alright Q, I'll be flexible and adapt to thier wishes. But don't denigrate me like that. Your twin tried to take on the Void, and look how he ended up." Stripetail replied, a touch ot irony in his voice.
