Louie was talking about the blog in the Cbox today. I found out that, this blog got hacked! Well, not really, it just seems that someone found out my password and screwed up the site.
This is probably PM, just being annoying. For some reason I'm not surprised, but more annoyed because I have to change this all back. Now it looks like it really does have bad material in it. I might take a while to fix this, I might have to change my password because he might do it again.
All I must say now is.. PM! YOU JERK. Does it really matter to him so much? We gave him back what he did to us, making us even, and now he's just being an even bigger annoyance.
Now, for forum info, the site's inactive again, but for a reason. Most people have school now. But it's still alive.
This madness has to end. Our site will never become peaceful if this keeps up.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 14: The Nephew's End
I know I've been talking about this for like 3 chapters or so, but it just keeps getting weirder. At least the forum is at peace from spammers and trolls.
About a week ago, Ice's fourth account was deleted and labeled as his original sign-up name, cold. But before that, he or whoever who was using his account deleted it, left a post in the announcement thread. The first mystery about this was that only staff can post topics in there. I don't know if it doesn't count because it was made in the form of a poll or something else. Now what was listed in the message said Ice was really every character and was still claiming about leaving forever. This was extremely hard to believe, as his nephew had used this trick already. However, about a few minutes later, Ice came on to chat a bit. We told him about his account and he said that he was going to tell his mom about it. But then after that, I never saw him again, except for one time, but he left quickly. This was very odd because twice in a row, he had appeared directly after his next account's death. I'm tired of this. His nephew needs to get punished.
Then about a week later, someone named ''Sky Pikmin'' joined the site as the new 30th member, due to Ice's account still not being remade after deletion, putting Bulborbs_At_View in the 29th member place (a member with talent at making RPGs from PR who joined recently) now. This person left quickly, but he also said that he was a friend of Aztech, who was Ice's new character, which he made as his second account, which made the people online wonder. Then he mentioned Ice's name, which we knew already. I checked his IP and it seemed familiar, but I'm not sure if it was Ice's same IP. Finally, he said farewell and asked for a favor, to mention if Ice came on again. Will we ever see him again?
The next day, we found out...
It was actually Ice Pikmin. I had a feeling that from the beginning when I saw his IP. However, he said that we wouldn't be seeing from his nephew again. THANK GOD. Let's hope that is true. If it is, we probably won't be seeing any chapters in a while, at least I'm predicting.
However, since then, he hasn't come on much. I don't know what happened to him.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 13: Message Spams and Ice's Unsure Farewell
Now I was just searching stuff on Youtube, when I found a hate video from PM. He explained why he hated me so much in it, but I proved all his points wrong. Quickly after it was discovered, it was flagged multiple times and then was deleted due to the terms of violation. Some time after that, Electric got an email from ''terryboe'' again (the one that was fooling me and seems to be PM) and he said it was complete spam. Then he suddenly started showering me with messages every minute. I swear that it filled up almost two pages of my inventory. I was tempted to check them all and post them in the Cbox to find something out, but they were all just spam messages, referencing things he probably saw when spying on us. Eventually, he stopped around the time I left.
For now, the site seemed peaceful. There were a few times when I think PM popped up for a few seconds and posted a bit, then left. Not sure though. Anyway, everything was okee for a while, the activity was a bit lower than usual, but still nowhere near dead.
After some calm days, I checked a poll I had recently made. I went to see the people who voted, and I saw ''ice'' in black test, like if he was deleted. I asked my fellow forum members and they say someone pretended to be Storm, Ice, Drill, etc. I decided to email him, but I checked my inbox and found a message from Ian Manes! It said the following.
That is directly taken from the email. The members were pretty sure it was his nephew again, but why would his nephew do such a thing? The only way we can find out is by waiting for Ice to come back online again. He didn't even make a farewell topic, BTW. I'm hoping that it isn't Ice, but I can't be sure of it. I decided to reply to the email, asking if it was really Ice. This might help us uncover the truth.
About 20 minutes later, Ice came on and asked about his account. It wasn't Ice! Dang nephew. I told him to beat the living stuffing out of him. I guess that ends that mystery. Sheesh.

You guys at PLR were fun *Sigh* but it's all over I'm getting attached to the site as if you guys have been my family.
So I'm going to leave and tell you this HP. I think you already know this but I'm gonna tell you anyways.
I'm the characters Drill, Pitch, Equinox, Thorn, Storm, Titanium, Midnight, Etc. Not Ink though he is real and breathing heh.
I'm not coming back because the site is boring now. No fun not even the slightest bit the spammers made the site exciting for a second or two.
Have fun with THAT. So anyways bye and all that junk.
P.S. Post this on you're silly blog maybe you'll get some ACTUALL activity.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 12: PM's Return
Recently, PM suddenly appeared on PL again. We watched him spam a bit then moved the Cbox back to the Member's only section. However, he wasn't locked out because he didn't refresh the Cbox on the main page, which I totally forgot about.
Now before that, I had been absent for a few minutes, and the members online encountered some spam accounts named ''men'' and ''dad'' I think. These two accounts appeared to act like terryboe! Then as said above, PM came online. I checked his IP because I thought someone was just messing with us, but it wasn't a drill. The IP was different. It was really PM. I compared it to the other spammers and it was the same as them, which means that he was probably terryboe and the spammers all along! Of course, this isn't completely positive, but I'm pretty dang sure I was right.
So when I noticed that he could still chat, I just banned him, because I was worried about a proxy server, which he didn't seem to have, so he was blocked out, because when I banned his IP, he stopped.
A few minutes later, he he seemingly got out and posted some inappropriate material. His IP didn't change. How did he unban himself? Something isn't right here. Is he a hacker? Does he know my account? I'm missing something. Anyway, I banned him again, but I had to go after that so I left. The next day I heard he spammed again at 12:00 (2:00 my time) and everyone fled.
The next day, we were just having a chat, when ''Terry'' came on. Everyone was thinking I was paranoid, but when I checked his IP, it was PM's IP! When he started spamming again, Pres/Hisokana invited us into his private Cbox (that's stealthy alright!) and we continued to chat here. But somehow, he got into the Cbox and banned me! Luckily, I banned him at the same time and unbanned my account, but it takes a few minutes to get unbanned. I think he's going to do this every day! How did he get into the account? Did we talk about it when he was watching? I don't know, but this means war.
After he went away, I tried to make a site where he had almost no possible way of spamming us in case he came on PL again. Even getting on the site would be a pain because the name is weird, and ProBoards sites are hard to find in searches. So I told someone to PM the list of info in order to use the site against PM if he struck us again.
Some time after that, a member named ''Chef Pikmin'' joined the site. At first he seemed like a nice guy. But this was a bunch of chaos. She said she was a girl first of all, then she introduced her mom to check if the site was clean, which we did our best to show it was a friendly site. THEN (I think) the dad came on and started swearing us, completely ignoring what the mom was saying. But then it got crazy. They were posting about the parents raping the two children. This was breaking the very last rule in the book. We told them to stop and go away, but they continued to spam about the content. What's wrong with this site's spammers? Some people think this is PM, just making another joke, but the IP was much different. The user continued to swear and yell at us about random stuff, like Japan. I don't know why. Eventually, they disappeared and I decided to ban them.
However, Chef Pikmin came back online somehow, explaining that her/his parents do that to see if the site's safe. Everyone couldn't believe that. It was a very weird way to tell. Man, this forum is crazy.

The Pikwikia Story - Chapter 3: Let's Keep Going!
Nothing much to say about this part of the wikia's history, but that the articles started coming and forming at a very fast rate! OP, Ultra, Inferno, Solstice, Bomb, and a whole bunch of other articles seemed to be almost 100% finished. We had about 20 articles at this time, of course we were nowhere near done. Today, I want to mention as I am retelling this part of the Pikwikia story, that the wikia's category had changed to what I wanted it to be; gaming. I have no idea how this happened, but maybe it got fixed when we posted about games. I really don't know, and I hope it stays like that.
It just kept building for a while, but then it started to get trolled...

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 11: A Series of Events (Part B)
Ice Pikmin came online as a guest and saw the name of ''Endgame'' in the Cbox. He said that was someone else. I didn't believe him since he typed the same and had a similar personality like the other accounts although OP thought he wasn't as cool as Ice usually is. The ''Endgame'' person went off after being discovered by Ice. I checked IPs and they were the same. I was thinking that it could only be another trick or his brother was messing around.
He explained to me that it was his nephew, who had found Ice's notebook with all his Pikmin ideas and his Pikmin Legends Forum Info. He used this to log into Midnight's account, then right after he was discovered, he deleted all the accounts. This sounded like a very stupid explanation to me because it seemed like he made it up right off the bat and it's weird how just his nephew could use all his info, go online and as quick as a flash, delete all his accounts, which Ice claimed to be all real people, except one, which is deleted now. Still to this day I am confused, but he kept trying to make me believe him. Finally, I started believing him, but I'm still on the watch. So I let him make a new account. Confusion!
Somewhat after that, Ice revealed that he was making a site named Pikmin Warlords, which seemed to be a reference to Pikmin Overlords. He based it on Pikmin and Spore. I offered to help him since I am very good at designing sites, and he let me be admin until the site's spelling and grammar was fixed (he's a bad typer) and I made a good skin. The site's looking pretty good. I'm going to make it a major affiliation with PL, and it will be in the related sites here.
For now, the forum is quiet again. Nothing too much is going on now. Once again, I'm sure that we'll have some interesting things happen on the forums again.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 10: A Series of Events (Part A)
After a few days, the activity decided to go back up again and Louie had suggested that we bring the Cbox back to its original and convenient position. This will open up more possibilities for spamming and trolling, but the previous spammers seemed to have disappeared, so it is thought to be okee. If the spammers come back, we could move over Cbox back in our our Member's Board and leave it there just to keep it convenient for chatting, but we would have the one in the Member's Board just in case the spamming kicked in again.
As for other Member news, Louie's sister's birthday was July 14. Her name is Brianna, and she turned seven. Louie's father also let him use his laptop to play Spore, that is the reason he hasn't been on that much. Also, iPikmin, the person who claims to be Power's big sister who we were keeping our eye on suddenly started making pointless posts and threads and would insult people at random.
Then a few days later, one more big discovery had become certain. Ice Pikmin, the creator of many accounts such as Equinox, Drill, Pitch, Epsilon, etc. had been caught. I had been thinking this since the beginning because the accounts he used all had the same typing skill, personality, and a whole bunch of other things. He was caught when Midnight (one of his made up characters) came on and posted in the Cbox with Ice's avatar. Right after making this mistake, he came into the Cbox as Endgame, (a character he made) and deleted some of his accounts, the fake ones I guess. He isn't going to be banned, but he will have double the chance to get in trouble in the future. We are currently discussing with him to reveal everything he has been hiding. There is still of stuff to be found out about him.
I also found two troll-like accounts, one named ''weegeeshogunofpikm'' and ''cutepinkpikmin'', which both share the same email. I'm guessing these are accounts I didn't see when the site's members signed up all over again, but these troll accounts have no record so far and joined on June 21! What the heck?! They both have been mucked up by staff members, which I just found now. I wonder when this happened... This could be PM for all I care.

The Pikwikia Story - Chapter 2: Dragon Pikmin's Boredom
Eventually, I had finished the main group of Pikmin characters (my friends from PR and the newest PL people). Then one day, one of my minor friends from PR who had joined from the beginning, and logged back in near the end heard about the wikia and started to fool around with me. He was talking about my wikia page, and when I checked it out, he had screwed up the spelling.
For an example, he would spell words such as ''the'' as ''teh'' and he would spell ''would'' as ''wood'' or something like that. In general, he messed up the article, which I had to edit.
This really kind of ticked me off. I don't understand why he'd do this. But anyway, I finished the topic and locked it, just in case he might do it again.
I also checked the other topics if he edited them. He only edited his topic and added some gangster quotes, which I then corrected the spelling and grammar.
By this time, I started to get lazy, but I kept trying to improve it.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 9: Depression
Recently, the forum hasn't been doing too well.
Besides the fact of the some new RPGs, The PL System which is being made by OP, the forum has lost most of its charm.
The activity level has gone through a massive downfall. I remember going on PL and having almost no posts posted and waiting in the Cbox for someone to chat, but only about 10 posts were made that day. The reason of this tragedy is probably because of Louie not coming on for some reason, along with his GF, Nitro is in Las Vegas, which hopefully he comes back soon and Weebl was on vacation most of the time, and more.
This is a sad time for Pikmin Legends. Sometimes I miss all the spamming and stuff that used to happen. At least that was actually fun in a way. Now it's just boredom and depression... But still, I'm sure that the activity will return and there will be new adventures.

The Pikwikia Story - Chapter 1: A Great Idea
Some time when the site was at about 10-20 members, me and a bunch of people saw Weegee's own wikia, called ''Pwnapedia''. This inspired me into making a wikia myself. But what could it be about? Finally, I decided to make it a Pikmin wikia, which gave some info about Pikmin games, but most importantly, to make articles about all the Pikmin characters who were planned to be used in the fanfiction that got deleted a while ago, named Pikmin Heroes.
When I had made the wikia, there was one problem I didn't notice until I finished my article. Above the title, it was categorized as a ''lifestyle'' wikia. It was supposed to say ''gaming''. Still to this day I want to change it.
After a few days, I had put in my character, and a few other characters.
But then more members came on with new characters, so I had to keep going.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 8: Today
The spammers are gone and all is peaceful at PLR currently, providing that the site doesn't get erased a fourth time. Sadly, the activity has dropped a bit.
Power tries to come on with new accounts, so a close eye is being kept out for him, but if he has managed to sneak in, he has not done anything yet. The site is still members only but perhaps it will be opened to the public when the threat of spam recedes.
Now we must only wait for the next chapter of Pikmin Legends....

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 7: Under The Bridge
Soon, Cowbell, a minor troll from PR was, perhaps regrettably, told about PL by OP at Rauru's Raturn. He came over and trolled a bit, but that was just Cowbell. Then one time, I allowed Louie to put some emoticons in the Cbox, but after he was done I accused him of putting inappropriate ones, like a sperm emoticon. He said that he didn't put it. Possibly, that was PM using the account, since he got it. Nothing too serious had happened... yet.
After a while trolls showed up. Many trolls. They couldn't get in the forum, but they posted over and over in the chatbox. Cowbell suggested that the spammers were from Flannel Shirt Discussion, made up of the more shady PR members. The spamming lasted several days when I suddenly, I had received an e-mail saying that Cowbell had done all of the trolling, including the trolling done at PL, and I promptly deleted his account in anger, but this was a big mistake of mine.
Later, Cowbell explained to everyone how obvious it was that the e-mail was a troll itself, and although his IP for another account was unbanned, he was furious enough to leave the forum and complain about PLR on other forums. Everyone felt bad about this, but there were more pressing matters. The spam continued, and Hyper was exchanging e-mails with the spammer to find out who he was. The e-mail was "terryboe" but that may have been a reuse. Orange Pikmin frantically compared IPs, but the spammer was using a different IP every time he appeared, so that was no use, probably suggesting that the spammer was using proxies.
The spammer claimed to be several other people, including Foo and PM, but his/their identity is still unknown, although there is a great possibility that it was PM. I was certain that it was PM because he was talking like PM and he was informing me about how he felt when PL went down, but this is still not 100% certain. The mysterious spammer(s) had knowledge of things that would require a mix of PM and a regular on PR. Eventually OP proposed that the Cbox simply be moved to a members-only section. I did so, making any spammers that tried to make an account very easy to spot. Now the trolls have completely vanished from PLR, and peace has returned.

Everyone felt bad about this, but there were more pressing matters. The spam continued, and Hyper was exchanging e-mails with the spammer to find out who he was. The e-mail was "terryboe" but that may have been a reuse. Orange Pikmin frantically compared IPs, but the spammer was using a different IP every time he appeared, so that was no use, probably suggesting that the spammer was using proxies.
The spammer claimed to be several other people, including Foo and PM, but his/their identity is still unknown, although there is a great possibility that it was PM. I was certain that it was PM because he was talking like PM and he was informing me about how he felt when PL went down, but this is still not 100% certain. The mysterious spammer(s) had knowledge of things that would require a mix of PM and a regular on PR. Eventually OP proposed that the Cbox simply be moved to a members-only section. I did so, making any spammers that tried to make an account very easy to spot. Now the trolls have completely vanished from PLR, and peace has returned.
The Pikforum Story - Chapter 6: Life Returns
At this point, everyone fled to forums related to PL, such as Ridley's Realm which I had put in the affiliation board as a backup site in case PL suddenly went down and Mario & Luigi Story Forums, a site made by Captain Olimar AKA Takumi who was hired admin by me.
On Ridley's Realm, we made a plan to restore PL. To do this, we needed to inform the active members. Some people went to Mario & Luigi Story Forums to email people such as Takumi, Louie, Pres, etc of what had happened as the rest on RR continued to do other things to restore the members.
The next day, the users had rushed to Ridley's Realm, as they continued to talk about what happened, while I was making the new site, named ''Pikmin Legends Returns''. Eventually, it seemed like we were back on track.
This site did not have PM to drag it down thankfully, and Power was also banned for all the trouble he caused. It seemed as though peace had finally come to the Pikmin forums.. but this was merely the calm before the storm.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 5: Child Abuser
One of the admins, Propeller Mushroom, also known as Bomb Pikmin and originally Weegee, who was my partner in creating this site, had become extremely corrupt and abused his powers regularly. Somehow, I saw this coming, because he wasn't really a nice guy before on PR, and he was somewhat acting like Power on PL, posting lame fanfictions and only coming on to post in a spam house.
PM would edit and delete posts to make himself look good, and he crossed the line when he announced that anyone who used a meme would be banned for one day. This was very hypocritic, as he spammed memes so much that on PR his enemies had given him the nickname "WeegeeS***tymeme''. At this point, I decided to try and get rid of him so he would cause no more damage. Most members were behind me to an extent, but they all had doubts. I couldn't remove PM's root admin powers, so the members suggested that I should change his email and password, preventing him from going online.
So I tried to change his activation e-mail and his password. However PM still somehow activated his e-mail, but he could not find out his password. It was also suggested to tell all the members the password just in case, so I told Louie, who told everyone including Power Pikmin. This was a grave mistake. PM asked, or in Power's words, pleaded for his password. Power did not suspect anything for some reason, and told him his password. PM immediately logged into his account, and sent the forum into chaos. He made Orange Pikmin and Epsilon Pikmin mods, possibly because they were not behind the idea of overthrowing PM just yet or he thought they would do a good job as mods, and began spamming.
Then the next day, I logged into Pikmin Legends and found out I was banned by PM. I took a look around the forum. Then I began to chat in the Cbox about it, when PM appeared at the scene. Everyone began flaming him, as I tried to explain why we tried to get rid of him. This made him furious, as he whined and complained about him being the root admin (who I was supposed to be) and him being the supreme ruler of the forum, and right after, nuked the site.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 4: Terryboe and the Trolls
Casio Mour did not appear to be the only spammer. Others appeared, such as "mr krabs" and "terryboe." These two appeared to be connected, and also appeared to have a connection with Power somehow. mr krabs posted things such as "I want to play!" and "Give me a turn or ill beat you up!" Terryboe posted near-jibberish such as "manpowers daddy!"
Some time before that, I had discovered that Louie was being flamed by terryboe via email. I wasn't going to let him do that to him, so I came back and told him to leave my buddy alone, and he replied saying that he only wanted to be friends. I was suspicious about this, but I let him on the site.
Later, someone named Terryboe (with a capital T) who is thought to be the person who was flaming Louie appeared and talked with normal grammar, saying that the other terryboe was his 9-year-old immature cousin who got on his account while he was away from the computer. Not everyone was certain he was telling the truth, but the few posts he made were genuine. After a couple of days he announced that he was going on vacation and his father was removing his Internet forever so he could never return. It was an abrupt exit that raised further suspiscions, but terryboe, Casio Mour and mr krabs stopped spamming.
By this time, our forum had a lot of members! About 40 or 50! The activity was high too! But then it happened...

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 3: Cbox Trouble
Since the beginning of Pikmin Legends, we had a Cbox to communicate easier. A member from PR who was hanging around with other members on another forum called the Flannel Shirt Discussion, discovered by Orange Pikmin had joined the site for a bit. His name was TDF. Despite suggesting a better skin for the forum and other stuff, he suggested that we got a Flash Chatroom.
He got us a Flash Chatroom, I thought it was okee, but the Cbox was better in our opinions, and people had some issues with it. Right after that, he made us a banner and we never saw from him ever again.
Eventually, I decided to terminate it and try another one. Then another one. THEN ANOTHER ONE. But the original Cbox seemed to be the best choice still! So I brought back the Cbox finally after all that ''shopping'' and gave it a better position and colour scheme, which we will keep until the end.
Now, a while after all of that, the activity suddenly sprung up.
Many good things and funny things happened during this time. Like I still to this day say that one day was the ''best PL day ever'' because of its amazing activity level and the events that happened during that time. Weebl from PR had joined at that time. Louie even introduced his girlfriend to the site. Power was asking inappropriate questions about her such as ''are you hot?'' and such, annoying everyone, especially Louie, obviously. Suddenly, Power's dad (which we still are not certain if it was really his dad) came on and started to yell and swear at us and threatened to call the police to take down the site because of what we seemingly did to his son. It was weird. Eventually, the spamming began, but it was only the beginning!
Because of the activity jump, some people, members or guests were starting to take advantage of the fact that it was easy to mimic other users in the Cbox. More and more people were starting to find joy in spamming and trolling the Cbox. In early June 2010, a strange foreign member named "Casio Mour" came on and started posting sexual phrases in Dutch. After that, it just got worst.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 2: Power Pikmin
Everyone on Pikmin Legends was often annoyed by Power Pikmin. He would constantly make unreasonable posts, usually with one word and one word only like ''LOL! XD'', that would annoy everyone. Especially me, along with Weegee, AKA Bomb Pikmin. I would yell at Power Pikmin about how futile one word posts are.
He also would constantly make horrible ''fanfictions'' with crude child humor with absolutely nothing interesting and barely a plot such as a Pikmin fanfiction series which contained most of the Pikmin characters made by the members on Pikmin Legends, the characters from the Pikmin games and a pointless series about Roblox which had no plot at all and was all positive. I found some of his jokes a bit amusing, but otherwise, I thought the stories he made were just awful. He also made a few RPGs too, and they were just as stupid. His Pikmin RPG was too limited and boring and his Roblox one was impossible. My friend Inferno Pikmin who had joined the site at that time clearly said something like ''Roblox is a game that can not be played through text''. He would constantly annoy everyone to join them. Maybe I was a little hard on him, after all, he was only an 8 year old.
This lasted for a while. At the same time, the site had gathered about 20 members.
Of course, Power probably got tiresome. Regardless, he ignored what myself and the others said. He continued to do so, and would be given multiple warnings. He was close to being banned, but this was the least of my problems..

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 1: The Birth of a Legend
In the middle of 2009, I had joined a site called ''Pikmin Returns''. I had lots of fun there. After a while, the site started to lose its activity. There was a guy named ''WeegeeShotgunOfPikmin'' who ticked off everyone there, but I didn't really hate him much because I was a nice guy. So together we started a site called ''Pikmin Overlords''. We attempted to get some members on the site, but we only got about seven before it died of a code side-effect.
So because it died, we had to remake it. I was just about to make the new site, when suddenly I got a message from Weegee. He had said that he remade the site already before me, and named it Pikmin Legends, and a coincidence it was, I had the same name in mind! So I just decided to join it anyway, and he made me the secondary admin, but this wasn't really good, as I was supposed to be the head admin because I knew better than him.
The site began to collect members, it seemed like both PR and PL would be doing great for a while, but MAN was I wrong.
In late 2009, Pikmin Returns died of a server crash and its creator, Archaic Sage left it to bite the dust. It's many inhabitants mourned at the loss, but they hadn't worried, for my site was still there. Some of the users from Pikmin Returns joined the new site, increasing the activity level. Not all burdens were carried over, but one in particular was. Now, this wasn't a member, but a guest, who only viewed Pikmin Returns. He, however, joined Pikmin Legends. His name? Power Pikmin.

Introduction
Welcome to the Pikmin Legends blog! Its use is to keep you up to date of what's going on the Pikmin Legends sites, which are the Pikmin Legends Forum, hosted by ProBoards and the Pikmin Legends Wikia, hosted by Wikia itself.
Originally I had made another blog which was supposed to give help info on the Pikmin games, but it didn't work out well.
These sites have gone through many events. So, that's why I made this Blog to make a record of the events that occur on these sites.
