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 got off of Onyx and went over to Littlefoot.  She looked at Ducky, "Come on, lets get on Littlefoot, in case we have to all run when the others get across, their legs are longer then ours." She said.  

Mim nodded to Diver, "Good idea." She said, then she looked around a bit to see if any surprise was going their way before looking back at Cyrix and the others.

But... wouldn¥t I be to heavy for him? He could fall down with me, I am not quite sure, Cera said with a worried voice.

yep, good idea little sister, Ducky said while nodding. Let us ask him if we are allowed to.

OCC: SPIKE????? Since what time is Spike with them?^^

OOC: :slap I keep forgetting I'm playing Spike! Sorry guys!

Onyx simply smiled at Cera and replied "Dont worry, you'll be safe...trust me!"

Cyrix then nodded back to Cera and said "You've ridden with other flyers before right? This should be easy for you." Spike also nodded in agreement and walked over to where Cyrix was standing indicating he was ready to go across.

OCC: Okey, no problem ;)

IC: Well, yeah, I rid on other flyers before and I trust you completely... but I have always a bad feeling when I am flying with flyers. But I think I have to. There isn¥t a other way. So, if you could come down, than I can climb on you... anyway. Cera was a bit excited now.

Mim and Diver continued to watch the others where they were.  "I hope they make it across ok." She said quietly.

Onyx landed next to Cera and said "Well climb aboard and I will see you safely across." Cyrix nodded and waited for Cera to climb onto Onyx before he and Spike set off across to the other side. Cyrix tried to look across the field and saw Mim looking at him, he blushed, still well aware that she couldn't see it but swallowed his fears and looked back one more time to see Cera struggling to climb onto Onyx. He stepped over and gave her a hand and using his hands lifted Cera's belly up into the air to give her a better chance.

Mim and Diver continued to watch the others.  "Good, Onyx will be carrying Cera across, that should make things a bit easier for Cyrix to guide Spike across safely." She said hoping things did turn out as well as she said.

comment Diver, let us climb on Littlefoot back. Ducky said. Littlefoot feeled somethink at his tail. He looked back and noticed Diver and Ducky. Hi you two. Don¥t worry about the others. They will cross the rising water safely too. Littlefoot said with a smile on his face.

Onyx was super careful in carrying Cera across the field and sadi once they were halfway across "How are you feeling does your leg need a rest once we land?"

WIth Onyx and Cera already halfway across Cyrix and Spike were the last two, and they began to walk very slowly through the feild hoping to avoid any jumping water....until Spike spied a vine with several tasty looking leaves on it and decided to take a detour. As Cyrix noticed this he called out "Spike come back!" but the spike tail payed the rainbow face no mind as he was already underway eating the vine.

No, it¥s all right Onyx. Just bring us savely to the other side. that¥s all what I want, Cera said with a sarefull voice. Oh no, what is Spike doing? Littlefoot asked with a frightened look at Spike. No Spike, come back, that¥s the wrong way!, Littlefoot shouted.

"Looks like Onyx is almost across with Cera, that is good. " Mim said.

Diver climbed onto Littlefoot's back so they could head out once the others got there and  so she could see better.  She looked over to where Cyrix and Spike were pointing.  "It looks like Spike forgot where he is and sees some green food that looks tastey."She said.

Just as Spike was going to eat the last leaf on the vine he stopped and turned around and continued walking past Cyrix as if nothing was wrong. Cyrix however had a confused and up set look on his face as he replied "This has got to stop Spike. You are going to drive me into old age even faster." as the rainbow face walked after the spiketail.

Mim relaxed a bit, "It looks like Spike has decided to continue instead of eating." She said.  Glad they were out of an added potential danger.


"That is good," Diver said, "It certainly is." nodding.

Cyrix and Spike crossed without any further problems but as they reached the other side, and just as Onyx was landing with Cera in tow Longtail coughed a few times and said weakly "w-w-water." Cyrix thought 'He must be thirsty!'

Mim looked back, as best as she could at Longtail then at Cyrix, "You know where any nearby water is?  He needs either that or a plant we can squeeze some water from." She said.

"I didn't know you could get water from green food." Diver said interested in hearing something new.

Mim nodded, "From certain types of plants.  Some of them have quite a bit, it may not taste like the water you are use to, but it can keep you going till you do find water." She said.

Cyrix thought for several moments and then looked to Spike and said "Can you find us some water Spike?" The spiketail nodded and began to sniff the air, and immediately picked up the smell of water and began walking in that direction. Cyrix was amazed as he replied "I didn't think he'd find a source so fast." he then looked to Littlefoot and asked "Is he always this good at finding things with his sniffer?"

Ah yeah, Littlefoot laughed. For someone who is hungry and dursty the whole time, like Spike, that is no problem. Oh yes, yes, yes, he can smell greenfoot and water very good. Petrie was longer up in the sky to look for some danger. As he couldn¥t find out any dangerous things he was going to land. Well it¥s all right, he said. No danger in any direction. That¥s good, Littlefoot nodded. He turned to Cera. She was climbing off the bag from Longtail. Are you all right Cera? eeh, well, yes I think so. Thank¥s Longtail. She said. She was a bit emberrased to get so much help.
