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

"That is really awesome, it makes me feel better to know that." - Cayso replied with a small smile, considering that he still has to take some of the flowers back to where his herd is, at least he will know if they work by watching closely the effects of the flowers on Longtail and Scarface. - "Just hold on some more...." - Cayso thought, like sending a message for his brother.

Cyrix blinked as he realized something. "Hmm.." he tried to dismiss it, but every time he blinked it got harder and harder for him to keep his eyes open. He then stopped walking for a moment and sat down as he said, "I think we need to stop for a while...after all this walking...i've grown tired, and it is late in the night. Perhaps sleep would be a good idea."

Sleep would be good, yes. Ecco said. But, to be honest, it¥s not the best idea now. We are so close, and if we rest,... it could be that it¥s to late for Longtail or Caysos brother. I am sorry, but I think we have to walk on.

"Rest would be good." Mim said, thinking half out loud, "though if we are close enough and if some are fully awake maybe we can continue and go to sleep once we get to where the night flowers are.  Those who are tired maybe can get a ride on Ali's mother if she does not mind." Mim said.  

Ali's mother nodded, moving her head a bit closer to the group from the upright position where she had it, "No, I do not mind giving one of you a ride." She said.

"Well, I cannot be sure how much they have been walking and how many other things they faced before we joined them..." - Cayso said to Ecco - "...they may need that rest." - But there is insecurity in Cayso's eyes, and he said softly. - "I am following the Leader of this herd's lead, I'll wait for the decision to be made.".

Cyrix sighed and said, "I do suppose Ecco does have a point...as tired as some of us are...we are just too close to getting the night flower we need to find it first and then worry about resting...but if one or more of you need to rest then you may go ahead and do so, but I'm going to find it...for Longtail."

"Maybe 1 or 2 can rest on Ali's mother's back.  Maybe taking turns if more then 1 or 2 are tired." Mim said looking around at some present.

That¥s a good idea Mim. So, who want to take a ride with the madame? The others who want to rest as well can stay here, til the rest of our group found the nightflowers and came back.

"I'll keep on walking, if the ones that have been here before know that the flowers are so close I may not be able to rest at all until we can find them." - Cayso replied - "You may try to rest a bit if you want Ecco."

No Cayso, I promised you that nothing will devide us. And after all, I don ¥t need any rest, I am fine, he said and smiled.

Cayso smiled - "thank you" - he then added with a grin. - "now the trick is not to overdo it then."

Oh, hehe, Ecco grinned back. I guess you are right. Ecco know that he was right, because he overdoes things very easy, often without noticing.
But really, I am fine, he said and twinked at Cayso

Cyrix then decided to ask, "Littlefoot, you and Ali have been here before...would you know where we should look for the night flowers? Just to speed up the hunt a little. I would like to find them and then rest."

"I'm not tired yet, I'm use to walking for long distances, anyone else need to rest a while while riding on Ali's mother?" Mim asked and looked around.  

Ali shook her head, "I'm use to walking long distances also, being a far walker."

"As I said any who want to rest, even just for a little while can do so on my back." Ali's mother said.  Diver remained silent since she had been riding didn't think the question was directed towards her, but at those who were walking.

"Maybe Scarface should go have the rest, I think he needs it most." - Cayso looked to Scarface then to Blue eye - "Are you ok to keep walking?".

Cyrix smiled and said, "Well then, Ali, could you lead the way for now. You would know how the Night flowers look like. Please...take the lead."

Cayso noticed they were ready to move again, he took a deep breath and began walking too, following Ali's lead now as he waited for the bigger Fast-bitters' replies.

No, Ill come with you, Scarface said. If we would get to meet my herd, I think I am the one who should talk to them.

Go on Ali, Littlefoot said and smiled. Lead te way

Ali nods, "Ok." She said and looked around to be sure where she was and the path to the night flowers before she walked forward towards where the night flowers were.  

Blue-eyes shook his head, "No, I'm not very tired.  I had a rest back when we stopped for a bit and some of us had the snack." He said smiling.  

"Is anyone tired and wants at ride and rest?" Diver asked looking around at some of the others.
