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

"I look forward to see that day" - Cayso replied smiling and he went walking to where Ecco is - "Is everything ok Ecco? you have been quite silent." - the Fast-bitter asked with a worried voice.

OCC: Sorry for my obsence the last days. It¥s just the fact that me and Gustav are meeting.

IC: I am okay Ecco, thanks. He noticed that his friend has wet eyes. But you really don¥t look okay. What¥s the matter mate? You know, I am always there for you and you can talk with me about whatever you want. He laid his hands on Caysos shoulders and looked at him with concern in his eyes.

So, finally, we are going again. Cera said with an annoid voice. I am really not comfortable with so much fast bitters in our group.

We¥ll see, Littlefoot said.
 
Ducky thought it would be best not to say anything after her sisters story. She just went closer to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

Diver looked at her sister, "Yes?" She asked quietly.  "Is there something that you want?"

You.... really had experiences with fast bitters? I never knew about it. Ducky knew that this could be good for their travel, because they would meet much more fast bitters.

OCC: Sorry, post by Nimrod. Writing about Gustavs account  :bang (Gustav: Sorta knew this was gonna happen, sooner or later!  :lol )
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Diver nods, "I have, though most of them were mean and we had to run from them, evade them or trick them.  Only the ones of that herd were nice." Diver said, then she looked around, "I do not think they travel this far from the Great Valley, so I do not think they would hear even if I were to do the whistle here.  They usually live very close to the Great Valley, or Flattooth valley as they call it." Diver said.

"Perhaps, and perhaps not." Mim said.

Longtail gave a small cough and stuttered "F-family...friends...t-t-trust...them...it...is good to....b-b-believe...in...them."

That caused Cyrix to walk over and pat his nephew on the head softly and said "He is right, family is the most important thing here, weither it be sharptooth or flattooth, we all have to help each other to survive."

Longtail and Cyrix at that moment smiled together.

OOC: Don't worry Nimrod, it is nice to have you back posting, but it is better to knoiw you are visiting a friend, I hope both of you will have a great time :DD .

IC: "Diver is not wrong at all, most of us are 'mean' as you all say, but we have to be that way if we want to survive..." - Cayso used his hands to try to dry his tears - "... but Diver's friend's Herd is not the only Herd that can be nice, if trust is gained, then there is nothing to be worried about. After all, we must believe in our friends and families if we want to be happy, as Longtail said."

Diver nodds, "Friends and family must be trusted, certainly.  I trust all of my friends and family, all 13 of my brothers & sisters, plus Spike & mommy and daddy." Diver said.

"I think most people do, and that is a good bit of advice." Mim said nodding and smiling.

Cayso noticed that Ecco's arm was still around his shoulder, and he replied to his Swimmer friend - "It is a long story, I may tell you when we get back to my Herd, if you want." - Cayso looked at his friend as his eyes were not as wet as they were a few moments ago - "I really appreciate your help on this, I know you have many things to worry about."

Cyrix smiled and shed a tear as he heard the others feelings towards those they cared about. He smiled at Mim and asked "Do you think Longtail can beat this on his own....he is a strong willed flyer after all."

Hunter then turned around and said "He just might Cyrix. As you said...he is one tough kid."

Cyrix turned his head and replied by saying "Thank you Hunter...that means a lot."

Mim smiles and nods, "I am sure that he can, but since we are this close to the nightflowers why not get some for Longtail anyway." She says, trying to put Cyrix into a good mood.

Cyrix turned to face Mim and smiled as he replied "Yes, we should. And I am glad you decided to help us Mim, you have been a great protector of my nephew."

"I am fine now Ecco, and I'll feel better soon, as Mim said we are really near the nightflowers now." - Cayso could finally got dry all of his tears. - "I was just having a lot of memories coming back to me when Diver told a bit of her story, that's all. I am fine now." - And with a smile he kept on walking.

"You are right Ecco..." - Cayso looked at his friend with a defiant smile. - "... let's go get those flowers, while we still have time."

"Yes, the sooner we get there the sooner those who need the flowers can get them." Diver said.

"Yes, but best to not hurry to fast, we still have to look out for various dangers on the way there and back." Mim said.

"While we do need to be careful, we do need to at least get moving if we hope to get to the night flower at all." said Cyrix with a smile. He then turned to face Ali's mother and asked "Can you point us in the right direction to the night flower...just in case Hunter gets...sidetracked?"

Hunter having heard Cyrix's question laughed a little and said "You don't have to worry, I've smelt the Night Flower before, that is a hard smell to forget, but I suppose having someone who lived there and would know the way is a good thing too."

((OOC: Does anyone know where Mornai is? He's supposed to be playing Ali and her mother, is he on vacation or away for any reason?))
