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

Rick laughed as he watched Wayne and Cera walk up towards the top and then looked down at Longtail and said "Look....I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you such a personal question...but we can be friends right?"

Longtail stared at Rick for a moment and said "Yeah...I would like that. And I'm sorry I got so upset." Rick smiled and said "That's okay."

"I wonder what the view be like" Wayne said out load of his thoughts

"You'll see" Cera said with a grin then turn to Rick "Your just as asking of dozens of questions as Littlefoot, he asked all that type of questions to Longtail before and like before he yelled at Littlefoot when we only knew him for a few days" Cera said recalling events before hand.

F-22 and littlefoot watched from above and both chuckled. "Well tha's one way to get up here" said F-22. "Yeah you're right" said littlefoot. F-22 sighed "well this has turned out to be a strange day" said f-22 "Yep" replied littlefoot.

"Oh really?" asked Rick as he turned to look at Longtail and said "Maybe he's just afraid of Longnecks...is that it?" He stared at Longtail going so far as to bump noses and said "Well?"

Longtail however took two slow paced steps back and said "N-no...I'm not scared of Longnecks!"

Rick countered by saying "Then why are you shaking little one?" When Longtail realized Rick was right, he blushed, took a deep breath and sighed. He then sat back down in the grass and said "You talk too much Rick." "Yeah I know I do." said Rick with a confident smile.

Mim decided to rest and sat down.  She pulled off some leaves and munched on one and offered the others to any others interested.  

Diver and Petrie also decided to rest, as did Kor and Chomper.

"What you guys want do when others come back?" Petrie asked looking around.

F-22 kept admiring the view not noticing cera and wayne just getting up to the view point. His mind just kept wandering. Littlefoot noticed cera and caught her sly look in her eye. then he looked back at F-22 who just kepted rubbing his head.

"I see you two still up here" Cera said in a instant "So how the view F-22?" she said in a sarcastic tone.

Wayne came up to the top and looked around "Whoa this is... amazing" he whispers looking at the very view of the local area of the Great Valley they was in

F-22 chuckled and started to walk down to the others with littlefoot leaving cera and wayne looking over the valley. F-22 asked littlefoot "So after the grand tour of the valley what do you want to do". "I don't know," replied littlefoot.

"Hey Littlefoot, how about we show them the Tall Grass, I am sure that everyone part from the adult newcomers will enjoy playing Hide and Seek in that" Cera spoke out as him and F-22 was leaving.

Brian meanwhile had wandered off wanting to explore an area all on his own. He had been away too long it seemed, and he didnt even realize that the group might had wandered off without him.

Little did he care, this was starting to feel like a silly dream to him, dispite the fact that he could feel the heat of the sun and the pebles beneath his feet, and the swaying of his tail in the wind.

"Such dreams are interesting" he thought to himself "though rare. I've never had one where I could feel all these things happening. I'm wondering now if the stone itself was just a silly sign in this dream that I should never play with fire..."

He tugged at a branch nearby that was filled with green treestars and tried a bite

"Hmm, not bad, needs some ranch dressing... if this was indeed a dream, its a very tastey one!"

"Hello there young Swimmer I gather your one of the many new comers that suddenly arrived today, am I correct?" the voice came from behind and it was Mr Thicknose.

Brian let out a terribly loud belch after quickly swallowing a mouth full of the green stuff. He turned then feeling awkward towards Mr. Thicknose and gave a nervous laugh.

"Oh, well greetings to you, sir." said he "I am indeed one of the newcomers, though considering myself as 'young' is kinda questionable."

Mim finished the handful of leaves she was eating while Petrie ate one large, for him, leaf.  Kor tried a treestar and found the taste quite good, juicy and very nice tasting.    Chomper sat down to wait to see what the others would do once they had stopped eating, or resting, or both in some cases.

"your not as near as old as I am, that would mean your a young adult to me" Mr Thicknose said to Brian "I go by the name of Mr Thicknose to the Great Valley dinosaurs, I am the oldest and wisest in the Great Valley, I teach the young things that their parents can not" Mr Thicknose said to Brian.

Longtail jumped as he heard a noise close by, he turned to look around and then looked up to see Rick with a nervous smile on the longnecks face. Rick then looked down to meet Longtail's gaze and said "heh...guess I'm just a little hungry." Rick then looked up to a tree just above his head, and decided to try a leaf or two.

He picked several leaves off the tree branch and smiled as he noticed they tasted wonderful! 'Wow...these are great!' Rick thought to himself. He then proceeded to strip the entire branch and two more next to it clean of the leaves. Longtail laughed and said " 'A little' hungry? You eat as if you haven't in two bright circles."

Rick just smiled and said in response "Yeah, well...I am bigger than you...I need all the green food I can get."

"Sounds good to me" said littlefoot before he and F-22 disapered from cera's and wayne's view. As they were on their way back down F-22 sighed "What's the matter" asked littlefoot. "Oh nothing I'm just a bit hungry right now" said F-22. F-22 then thought to himself "I wonder why we haven't run into Hyp yet.

Mim and the others continued to rest and some eat a snack, till some of the others would get back to their area and decide what to do next.

As F-22 rounded the cornor to get back to the others he unexpectly ran into Hyp. "Hey! watch where you're goin hatchling!' yelled hyp. "You' talking to me" asked f-22. "Yeah! I'm talking to you hatchling now get outta my way!' responded hyp. "And what if I won't' asked F-22. "What are you going to do' asked hyp "We'll do something' said littlefoot. "O really' asked hyp. "Yes we will' said F-22. "who about you get through me first' said hyp who had begun pushing F-22. "Don't push me' said F-22. "And why shouldn't I' asked hyp "you'll regret it' said F-22 "Whatever hatchling' said hyp who continued pushing F-22. "That's it I can't take it any longer' shouted F-22 who started fighting hyp. "F-22 stop it' said littlefoot. "Sorry littlefoot but it time the bully got a taste of his own medicine' said F-22. "Owwwww no claws' said F-22. the noise had attracted attention. "Take this' yelled hyp. Littlefoot clentched his teeth into F-22's tail. "owww Littlefoot' yelled F-22.

"That's very interesting." said Brian to Mr. Thicknose "My name is Brian. I'm pretty smart myself. Perhaps we can share our wisdom sometimes... I can be quiet the inventor!"

The noise caused by F-22, Littlefoot and Hyp caught Longtail, and Ricks attention. Both immediately stood up and walked over to see what was wrong. "Excuse me." said Rick, "But may I ask what you're doing to my friend Hyp?" Longtail stood still and quiet waiting in case he was needed.
