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

The owner of another site I'm a member of  is trying to get new members to join. The forum is called Spyro Fans Anonymous and it is based on the video game series based on Spyro the Dragon.  If we are affiliated with SFa then we could see new members coming here from there. Here's the Link:
http://spyro.conforums3.com
The number of registered members there is very misleading, it says there are over 200, in reality, its less than 50, and possibly as few as 20.

I just see no connection between dragons and dinosaurs since one is of fantasy and the other the distant past.

Well, they're both fiction, but I'd just get more LBT sites for the purpose of being a 'Affiliate'.

I could post a GOF link on that German LBT Forum I founded a while ago. It is almost silent which may further contribute to the fact that nobody posts there. But perhaps Fans from Germany end up in the much more active GOF if there was such a link. The other way round German fans who are shy, for lack of English, to post in the GOF might be more willing to do so at the German board. Perhaps this should be considered.

Dinosaurs aren't fiction WR. ^^  I don't mind linking dinosaur boards as affiliates.  Malte, you know the link and banner image we have for this board...you can add it over there if you'd like to.

Do you honestly think that that was what I was saying? Do you honestly think I'm that stupid? Dinosaurs are not fictional, I know that, obviously, but talking ones are, and so are the stories surrounding these talking dinosaurs.

Hi Adam!
I created that GOF link on the German board. I'd be most obligued if you could create a link to the German board on the GOF now. I attached a picture for the link. The url is http://www.ineinemlandvorunsererzeit.de.vu/
