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 suppose things could be better" - replied to Ecco and lowering his voice before continuing qith a worried voice - "maybe you should have told me about other fast-bitters in the area, I am not too sure but we are somewhat close to some herds not friendly to my own, you know I can fight against grown-ups but just one-on-one, if they are rivals herds no doubts they will attempt to strike us all in numbers." - he looked at his friend again giving a smile - "so.. sorry I didn't want to scare you, I just feel I may need some extra help trying to sniff for danger and I know I am not the most trusted dinosaur around here. Will you join me in the front line?"

Sure, I will. If there will be any dangour, I think we should take a way around the danger. And don¥t be worried. I am sure the folks here will trust you soon. He walked over to Mim who stood next to Cera and Littlefoot. Helle, we didn¥t introduce us yet. My name is Ecco.

Mim smiles.  "I'm Mim, nice to meet you.  This is Diver on my back and the other one's name is Longtail." She said indicating each as she named them.  Diver waved to Ecco.

"Hello." Diver said waving.  

"She is one of Duck's sisters, though I guess you guessed that from the way they look." Mim said.

Yeah, hehe, I do, he said. He gave Cayso a hand signal to come to him.

Cayso walks towards Ecco, and still nervous he speaks to everyone "Hello, I... am Cayso" - He looks at everybody giving a shy smile - "this... is the first time I've been... with this many leaf-eaters... I'm still a bit of nervous because of that, but don't worry I have travelled with leaf-eaters before, and I am here thanks to Ecco, he is a very kind dinosaur who gave me the clue on how to find the legendary Night Flowers to save my brother Racnar." - when aproaching the group he used his sniffer a bit - "so this is the sick flyer you all want to save?... he doesn't smell exactly like everybody else in here... and it looks a bit familiar but I cannot recall why." - he stopped sniffing as he realize his comment was not exactly the best at this moment.

Well, Mim, this is Cayso, my friend. I saw you didn¥t really trust him, but I think with the time you will. He is a very kind raptor and didn¥t hurt yet any leafeater while I was with him.

Diver continued to pat Longtail hoping it would help him to feel better, as well as keeping an eye out so if the others decided to move she would have time to get an good grip in a good position so she would not fall off.

Mim nods, still not sure.  "I'm not sure, the other sharpteeth I encountered were not very nice, but since you are a swimmer and say good things about him I"m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how things turn out." She said looking at Ecco then Cayso.  

"I didn't know there were any sharpteeth that knew our language, though with the number of individuals of each kind in this world it is inevitable, I guess, that sooner or later one would either know both languages either in the past, future or present." She said after thinking a bit.

For the first time Cayso really gave a smile to the Rainbowface "Thank you Mim, I understand your distrust for sharpteeth like me, so I will not promise you anything, instead I will let my actions to speak for me, I will help getting those flowers" - then he gave a small salute by inclining his head a bit and then it gave the same salute to the rest of the group before turning to reach Cyrix - "I'm ready, just give the word."

Okey, all right. Thanks for accepting my friend Mim. He doesn¥t will disappoint you, I promise. So, if everyone is ready, I think we could start. Ecco looked to the folks and was waiting for answers. Well, I am ready, Littlefoot said. Me ready too, Petrie said while looking at Cera. Are you also ready, Cera? eeh,... yeah, I think so.^^

Mim looked at Cyrix and the characters near him, "How about you, do you folks feel ready to go on?" She asked.

Diver got ready for when the others would go by making sure she had a firm grip on Mim, though she did look back to Longtail to see how he was doing and if he needed any help or was trying to say something.

Onyx and Cyrix exchanged a glance at each other and looked back to Mim and nodded simutainously as Cyrix said "Yes....we are all ready then...let us continue with this journey!"

Onyx then flapped his wings and took to the sky and said "The cave was this way...please follow me."

Cayso began walking following the big Flyer's path while thinking "Well, it's time, just hold on a bit more Racnar, I will make it."

Mim nods, "Just be sure to keep alert, we never know what dangers may be here. " She said.  Diver nodded.  Mim remained in her usual traveling place as before.

Cyrix was second in line, and although his face didn't show it, but he was worried for his nephew...in all honesty all he wanted to stop and cry, but he needed to keep a strong front...for the others anyway.

Cayso took a moment to look for Ecco when he saw Cyrix, he tried not to look further but he cannot stop thinking: "I can understand his pain", he now looked for the big flyer again, so he would not lose the way. SNIF SNIF, he used his sniffer still thinking to himself "well, no danger at all at this moment, but things may change near that cave mentioned by the leaf-eaters".

Cyrix slowed his pace and waited for Mim to chatch up with him and then he asked her "Is Longtail okay, we should be at the caves soon." Just then Onyx called out "Over here, I found the entrance!"

Mim walked along with the others in her usual place keeping watch.  Diver who was on her back looked at Longtail and kept watch as well, as best as she could.  Mim saw Cyrix and slowed and kept her usual pace till she caught up to where he was.   To his question she looked back at Longtail.

"He looks about the same, which one could say is good since it's not worst." She said.  

Diver nodded touching Longtail with one hand. "He looks and feels the same, he certainly does." She said continuing her nodding as she got a better grip on Mim using both hands again.

Ducky woke up now and stood up on Littlefoot back. As she saw Longtail on Mims back she mentioned, oh, he deosn¥t looks good. I hope we¥ll get the nightflower soon. Littlefoot who noticed that Ducky was very worried tried to cheer her up. We will find the flowers soon Ducky. Look, Onyx already found the entrance.

Ecco was walking besides Cayso and was also sniffing for dangour. But there wasn¥t anything yet. Maybe we have luck, he thought
