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

LBT: A Life-saving Journey

"If what you are saying is true, then maybe it is not different at how I got to know Ecco. The Mysterious Beyond is a very strange place, we can see a lot of things." - the Fast-bitter didn't change the emotionless expression in his face at all, but he still saluted the newcomer - "my name is Cayso, and it is always interesting to meet other dinosaurs."

Hunter looked over for a moment at Cayso and smiled as she asked "Could you teach me how to do  that...ya know...keep your face all emotionless...that just looks so cool!"

Upon hearing this Cyrix sighed and said "Can we hurry this up please...my nephew has very little time left!"

That last phrase Hunter said really surprised Cayso - "Well, I may try to tell you, but later because Cyrix is right, not only Longtail is sick, my brother is also very sick and we need to get the Night Flowers before it's too late." - the kid left his emotionless face for a bit and gave a small smile - "I somehow believe you, we are all in the same mission, if the flowers can save Longtail, then they can save my brother too. So let's keep on moving."

"The sooner we get to them the sooner both can get back to being well." Mim said.

"We have quite a few, more then we started with,  we certainly do." Diver said.

Mim nodded, "Yes, quite a few have joined since the original ones left the Great Valley." Mim said agreeing with Diver.

And that¥s good for our journey. We are much saver now, Ecco said. I already trust you Hunter. So you can speak open to me, if you want to know something or have something to say. He gave a little smile and said: But Cyrix is right, we better keep on moving now.

Ducky turned away from Longtail and asked Mim. Can I stay with my sister up here, or am I to heavy for you? I am a bit scared to be among that much raptors at the ground, I am.

Mim nods, "I can carry you and no you are not to heavy.  I don't think we'll be doing a lot of running around." Mim said and helped Ducky to get onto her back where Longtail and Diver were.  

"It will be nice to have you to travel with, it certainly would." Diver said nodding and smiling at the idea of riding with her sister.

Cayso heard what Ducky said and made a comment - "That little Swimmer is right, I never imagine a group like this could be ever formed, such a great number of both Sharpteeth and Flatteeth." - He gave a grin of much amusement - "My Herd would never believe me when I get back".

Cyrix nodded "Indeed this is a very unique group." he said, he then aksed Ali's mother "Shall we continue on our way?"

Cyrix then pulled Hunter by her tail and she squealed in response and she said "Okay, okay, I'll take point. Geez so pully." She then walked in front of Cyrix and stood waiting for the others to move out.

Mim nodded, "It is indeed quite a group, very different then any other sort of group or herd.  It may well make a good story one day, that some of us may tell to others, and they to others themselves." Mim said.  

Diver made room for her sister, sitting closer to Mim then she had been recently.  The vines made it easier for Mim, and also gave Diver something to hold onto as she had been using at times.

"I'll just make sure my brother will be able to listen to this story, because I won't fail him." - Cayso began walking, still very close to Ecco and keeping an eye on Cyrix and Hunter. He then looked back to where Scarface and Blue-eye are and stopped for a second to make sure they'll be fine.

Ecco noticed that his friend stopped and turned around. Everything alright Cayso? You look a bit nervous.

"Well, if we found Ali's mother's herd they may want to hurt the Fast-bitters including me..." - Cayso kept checking on Scarface - "... I am still worried about Scarface, because of how I crippled him and what he told us about a herd of Fast-bitters that may be near by." - He finally looked to his friend - "and this is the first time I am so close to someone like Hunter, I really hope she can help us... and I'd like to know if we are close to the Night Flowers or not yet."

Scarface noticed what Cayso was talking about. Don¥t worry about me. I am okay. Just make sure that we get to the night flowers as soon as we can for Cyrix nephew and for your brother. He stilled leaned onto Blue-eyes shoulder. Am I to heavy for you or is it okay?

Blue eye shook his head looking at Scarface, "No I"m ok, you are not to heavy."  He said.  He then looked at Cayso, "As for the others of Ali's Mother's herd.  I'm sure she can say how she has seen us acting and how the non sharpteeth were acting when she first saw them with us."


Mim nodded, the extra weight of Ducky on her back not adding much.  She was glad they were small and light.  "Yes, that does make sense.  We can say how you've been acting and a part of this group helping us and Cayso's reason for being here.  So things should not be as hard as if you encountered Ali's Mother's herd by yourselves.  And as Blue eye here says Ali's Mother can say how you have been acting while she was around and could see you.  That should be a large benefit."

"I am sure things will go ok.  I certainly am." Diver said nodding.

"Thanks, I really appreciate that." - Cayso smiled, those words really gave him more courage. - "Things will turn out for the best. And every step take us all closer to our goal." - He said with a firm voice while looking at Ecco, so he could make his friend stop worrying to much about him.

Okay, than let¥s go Ecco said. Or what would you say Cyrix?

Ducky was glad to be with her sister now. Should I help you holding the lines the asked her sister.

"Yes Cyrix, we'll follow your lead". - Cayso said with a smile, but then it approaches Ecco and whispered - "I wonder why is he far more harsh with Hunter that he has been with Scarface and Blue-eye".

Diver nodded, "If you wish.  We want to make sure Longtail stays on and does not move around as Mim moves, we certainly do.  I am glad to be traveling with you sister." Diver said.

Oh, me too. Yep, yep, yep. She took one of the lines from her sister and holded it strongly, to make sure Longtail is save.

That¥s something I am really wondering about, Ecco said to his friend. Well, maybe I am going to ask him later.

"I agree, maybe to deal with too many sharpteeth is stressing him, and if I go to ask him... well, that may not be very healthy..." - Cayso commented seriously - "... but maybe because we all listened to her to mention she met his nephew before."
