"Banana." came the reply.
So many bananas. George was starting to lose faith.
It wouldn't be long until robomod discovered what they were talking about. The next code word would be ananab, but that would probably be at the expence of someone's account. It seemed nothing more than a matter of time before George and his ilk would be discovered and removed.
George was e-mailed: "Come to http://iiiwww.network54.com/Forum/117171iii"
Not via his PM, but via his mail. He didn't know what he'd find....

Dale ran fast leading the way. as the Vamp regained his energy gradually he noticed they had ran straight past the word association thread.
"hey there are people in there"
"theyre fine, they can look after themselves. were heading to a place no program will look, its too obvious!"
Dale smirked.
"you cant be serious" vamp said amazed looking up at t ...[text shortened]... "ok, but i aint happy about it" vamp said apprehensively.
They strode into the help forum....
"How do we get into the Developer's forum?!" they yelled. They knew this would give them a location of The One. Amist the responces of, "There is no developer's forum!", "It's a lie!", "Are you any good?", and "You must be the biggest idiot..." they made out one tiny voice.
"Click on the 'forums' button, you must. There will be a developer's forum there. But it'll be guarded by the one called Russ."
They silently thanked the voice, and headed toward the developer's forum to face Russ. Dale recalled that Russ had once been the founder of this site. But once the machine took over, they had no need for him, and he was replaced by a machine with a similar chess playing ability.
Upon arriving at the Developer's forum...

'you know', said the Chess Vampire as they reached the Developer's forum, 'it's what they did to Russ that burns me up the most. if i do one thing before i die, it will be to take down RoboRuss. I owe the guy's memory that much. we all do. he meant well, but he had no idea what he was creating. you know, we should send someone back in time to prevent him from even creating Robomod - talk him out of it, or if that doesn't work...'

"I am Russ! What humans dare enter the developer's forum?"
"It's me, Nyxie, and this is dale. Don't you remember us? Well, dale wasn't a subsriber, but at least me?" (sorry dale😛)
"No, I know no humans!"
"May we enter the forum uncontested?"
"No, you must first defeat me in a game of chess!"
A huge rumbling was felt under their feet, as a giant chessboard rose from beneath the ground. "Now, you must choose. If you choose white and defeat me, I will let you in. If you choose black and defeat me, you may go back into the RHP world of the past as computers with no recolection of this. What is your choice?"
After a few long minutes of deliberation among themselves, which resulted in incredible philosphical enlightenment for both of them, but will be left out to save time, they responded, "We choose white!"
"Very well then. May you fall at my razor sharp sicilian najdorf."
The game followed
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bd3 Bd7 7. Be3 e6 8. O-O the tention was beginning to mount, and the sweat was visible on Nyxie's face.
Be7 9. f4 Qc7 10. Qd2 O-O 11. e5 Qc4 12. Bxc4 1-0
"Darn," said Russ, "I really gotta watch out for that. Alright, alright, I'll let you in."
As they entered the developer's forum, Nxyie said to dale, "You know, I really expected him to be better than that. What with the big booming voice and all."
"True, but do you think they'd replace human Russ with a machine that plays chess much better?" (sorry Russ😛)

Meanwhile, the brain and eye of Phlabibit sat in a zip lock bag. Robo Mod would milk it for silly sayings and half truths to post... in hope of sounding 'more human'.
Phlabibit's brain chuckled... 'bottom fish bannana, heheheheee... that's funny'. Robo Mod thought for a time, PM'd Fritz and Shredder... and decided to make a new user name.
Later that day, a new user with 0 moves wrote a thread in the General forum. His location reads.....

'How strange' said Wuck Rogers, ' I have seen this on numerous occasions'.
'Maybe this is a secret code embedded in the binary of the forums'.
'If we could crack it... if only we could crack it then perhaps we could bring down RoboMod and his cronies'.
'I know, let's try the posers and puzzles forum, they may just be able to help us, if there's any one left in there.'

Originally posted by ark13having defeated RoboRuss at chess in the Developer's Forum, the Chess Vampire and Dale21 - together with Nyxie, who had joined them on the way and done the actual defeating - looked around for clues that would lead them to the location of The One.
They were greeted by a huge, booming voice that echoed in the huge, empty chamber.
"I am Russ! What humans dare enter the developer's forum?"

'Look', cried Nyxie, pointing. 'It's a teleport machine'.
The trio rushed over and entered the machine. 'I wonder what this button does?' asked the vampire, who in the golden days of RHP had been known as dfm65. he pressed the button.
the cavernous walls of the developer's forum, hewn from living rock, disappeared. they were replaced by the interior of an oddly familiar spaceship.
'i've seen this somewhere', said Dale21 scratching his head. 'But where?'
Then they heard a voice, and the mystery was solved. It was the voice of HAL 9000...
'Hello Dave', said HAL. 'Hello Nyxie. Hello Dale'
'Help us defeat RoboMod, HAL', commanded dfm65.
'I'm sorry Dave, you know i can't do that', replied HAL 9000.
