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

Diver watches from where she is, letting the grown ups decide what to do.  The water shooting up from the ground looked interesting, though dangerous.  

----

Mim nodded, "Onyx and Petrie can fly over the water, high enough so the hot water can't reach them.  We can have Ducky or Diver go with one group and the other with the other.  Perhaps a grownup and one of the others."  She thought for a moment.  "Best maybe for each person or leader to see if they know the pattern so they know when it is safe for them to cross and go to the next spot.  They'll have to go at an even pace, perhaps stopping when needed." Mim said.  "We have to decide how many groups there will be first and how many in each. [3]

Cyrix nodded and said "Yes, Onyx you take Petrie and stay in the air to guide us here on the ground. While Mim will take Ducky Diver and Littlefoot....and I will take Cera and Spike." Then he thought about something "But if we get separated then I want everyone to stop and call for help immediately....okay?"

The jet black flyer nodded and said "Why  yes I could carry the two little swimmers across." He then looked over at Diver and Ducky and asked "Do you two trust me to carry you safely over the jumping water?"

Diver uses the chance to rest while being a bit quiet for now.   She does speak up, "If he can each of us can help keep an eye on one of the groups to help them from getting lost.  Yes we certainly can." She said.

----

Mim nods to what has been said, "Good ideas everyone." She said.

Onyx nodded and said "Okay then Ducky, Diver if you two could please climb aboard, we will rise into the sky." He then smiled and said "Come along Petrie we have some air to cover!"

Diver went over to Onyx and climbed onto him. "Are you sure we are not to heavy for you?" She asked.


Mim looked at the others, "I guess that leaves Littlefoot with me and Cera and Spike with you Cyrix." She said.

Onyx shook his head and replied "Not at all little one, now come along we have a field of jumping water to cross!"

Cyrix nodded towards Mim and said "Do you still want to go first, or should I go?"

Diver nods, "As long as you are sure." She said.

Mim thought for a moment, "I can go ahead first unless you'd rather go first." She said.

Ducky climbed at Diver too now. Petrie walked to him and said, we can start now. I am ready.

Onyx nods his head at Petries statement and spreads his wings, being careful not to shake off Ducky and Diver, and then with little effort he and the two swimmers, are in the air. Onyx calls down to Cyrix and Mim and said "You can start crossing now, we will deep an eye on you from up here!"

CYrix looked up and nodded then looked over to Mim and said "Ladies first! I'll follow after you reach the other side."

Diver held onto Onyx as best as she could.  She looked to see the ground receding beneath her.  She found the sight interesting and fun, as well as being this high in the air.

Mim nodded and looked at Littlefoot asking him, "Are you ready?" She watches the jumping water for a moment and goes forward, attempting to guide him to when it was safe to step forward.  She kept her eyes and ears open to focusing on the pattern of the local area and some of the surrounding area as well.

Onyx looked back and asked "Are you two okay back there?" speaking to Ducky and Diver

Cyrix looked on as Mim and Littlefoot walked into the jumping water field, and whispered to himself "Be careful you two."

Yeah, I am ready, Littlefoot answered, but he wasn¥t sure. But we have to be very careful. He looked down in the jumping water whole and gulped.

Ducky noticed that Littlefoot and Mim were going to cross the jumping water. On Onyxs question she answered, yes, I am okey. So long as it wouldn¥t be too windy up here.

Diver nods, "Windy would be bad.  Who knows where it could blow us." She said.  

Mim nodded, "Do you wish to go first or shall I?" She said looking at Littlefoot and then at the jumping water.

I don¥t really know, can I go first? Littlefoot asked. He wanted to have that fast behing him.

Mim nodded, "If you wish you can." She said.  She didn't mind if he went first or her, but she had thought that it may be easier to keep him safe if he went first since she could keep a look out and an eye on him at the same time.

Look, Petrie said. They are starting to move. Oh please, ducky said in a nervous voice. Be careful. Littlefoot walked slowly towards the pattern. He sat foot by foot and was very careful as he reached the pattern. Don¥t look down, don¥t look down, he always said to himself.

Diver continued to watch below, hoping those below would get through ok.

Mim waited, walking behind Littlefoot, ready to try to push him out of the way if it looked like he may get into trouble, but attempting to make it not look like she was, but was just traveling behind him.
