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

Petrie waved, "Hello." He said to F-22.

Kor briefly looked over at Brian a bit curious if he meant himself as well.  What an odd dream, he thought.  Though he did think he was fitting in fairly well, knowing most of the local lingo.  He was just glad he was fully conscious in this dream, though he did wish he had better control over things, he would go along with the events till he awoke.  He did hope he remembered at least some of this dream.

Diver waved to Ducky and Spike from Mim's back, glad to see her sister and brother, "Hello, I was wondering where you both were."

Mim  remained in her place looking at the various new comers and some of the others present.

Wayne almost gulped but get a normal face at what Brian said 'Oh no bad move, bad move indeed. Cera going to catch onto this, she not stupid and...' Wayne's worst fear suddenly came when Cera walked right towards Brain.

"Littlefoot are you being that stupid?" Cera looked at hiim then said "Brian has never met these others before so how can they be his fellow newcomers when clearly his not" Cera then look over to Wayne.

"Also I know that Wayne, Rick and Austin are from a herd of their own which Wayne is the only Threehorn in that herd, nothing spoken about Kor or for that matter Brian. Also Kor spoke of being in his own herd" Cera was very much current about this.

"So... how can they be from a land far far away the same one as you if these three never met you or the others till today? hmm?"  Cera walk towards Brian and stop right in front of him wanting a very good answer with the bubble now ready to burst.

And to make things worse...

Topys heard this and he heard mostly the same thing from some of them as well and spoke in on it "My Cera is right. I was there when Rick the young Longneck told me about him and Austin being in a herd with Wayne being the only Threehorn in that herd nothing spoke of these others or you for that matter. So I believe that your very much mistaken them to be your FELLOW NEWCOMERS Brian..." Topys was very suspious of Brian now and Cera who didn't seem to buy Brian's words so easily

'Great going Brian, you should of asked around about our stories first then jump out with words after we been with them for awhile. you could really undermind what been said before' Wayne thought to himself know have to figure a way to get this straighten out since they all had it sorted out and now it all could fall apart because of Brian.

"Wayne, you, Rick, and myself are immune. We already gave our stories." Austin whispered to Wayne.

"We knew each other because we've met in the past. We came from different places, but we had run into each other occasionally." Austin said out loud to cover up for Brian's slip-up.

Rick sighed and said to himself 'This cover story had better hold up...I don't know what I'd do if we were discovered.' Rick then looked over to Austin and said "yeah...I'm just glad to see we're all okay." hoping to keep the cover up going.

Mim remained quiet, things seemed to be getting a bit odd, but she would remain silent.  Some stuff she heard made her think that maybe there were things she was not fully being told.  She mentally shrugged.  

Chomper looked at Mim, "Things seem to be confusing." He said scratching his head with a bewildered look on his face."

Mim nodded, "They do, but I'm sure things will be more clear eventually." She said.

Diver shrugged to herself, things were confusing, but she'd let the grown ups think over and deal with that.  She didn't see anything that seemed to need doing so she'd just relax.

Kor thought things were getting a bit weird and confusing so decided to stay out of the whole mess for now.  He looked around at some of the other dinosaurs.  Many he had seen before, some in non speaking cameo appearances, and some he had not seen before.

'Aye, the chess pieces are set.' thought Brian as he pondered what more to say 'And aparently, I blindly moved the wrong rook...so then, what's next? I must find out who my fellow board members are and I need to somehow convince them to join me in a private meeting... or maybe I should reveal the entire truth to everyone here...'

He looked at the group studying them then shook his head 'Nah... Last thing I need is a horn nosed brute digging into my business.'

It was then he decided to explain himself a little more despite the cover story

"That young fellow is right, We've had dealings in the past. And its a bit of an odd coincidence that we've all met here. I'd still like to know, again, if everyone here didnt mind, who all are with the new comers."

Hearing Brian's question Rick immediatley stood up and nodded his head as he replied "I'm one of em." He then smiled as he realized what Brian was trying to do. 'Sneaky swimmer, picking out the GoF members by asking who recently came into the valley...very quick thinking!'

Wayne was about to speak but Topys stood right in front of him blocking Brian's view of him. "Hold on that not possible. I can tell his about Cera's age which means he couldn't know you cause he never was hatched the time you speak of past dealings. So now I am taking action, you will not speak or go near Wayne while I am around, I am now taking charge of his safety" Topys spoke with a snort.

"Tria keep with Wayne while we go on with the meeting over the Sharptooth, Rick your needed" Topys moves to the meeting and telling Rick to come.

"Alright Topys." Tria then turn to Wayne "Stay with me sweety"

Wayne only could nod and look to the others and mouthed to Austin 'Topys not buying it and now I am stuck with him being a partient over me... tell Brian thanks alot for his blabbering ideas...' Wayne mouthed out the words not impressed by him being now under the protective eyes of Topys.

Brian groaned and nearly felt like cursing at Topsy for his intervening

"What on earth makes you think I have bad intentions, threehorn?" he said with an annoyed voice "What could I, a swimmer possibly do to harm others? As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Stuckup you havent been much of a good leader yourself. I've indeed heard of you. Topsy boy. Almost led half a herd into certain danger. A fire if I'm correct.   And now you think you have the smarts to question my business with my fellow newcomers. So be it, I accept a good challenge."

He glaired at Topsy and turned to leave the group, mumbling and cursing under his breath

"We never said how long ago. It actally wasn't a long time ago, if you must know. Brian, there is no need to fight. Anyways, I would not like to see you maimed for no logical reason." Austin said, stopping the two from fighting.

Rick sighed and almost said outloud 'This day just got worse!' Rick then looked over to Wayne, and it looked like he was talking to himself, but upon bending his neck lower to the ground Rick thought he could hear what was being said.

Unfortunately he still couldn't hear him, but guessed that Wayne wasn't happy by the look on his face, and the how his eyes had narrowed quite a bit. However before Rick could speak up, Grandpa Longneck looked over to Rick and said with a boastful voice "Rick, my lad, you will be staying with us and my grandson.

All Rick could do was smile and say "Thank you."

Wayne felt annoyed even more now, something was boiling up in him and he only had this happen if others was either really annoying him or just come in and control whats go on and what said and done and this was what he felt about Brian and suddenly snapped "I am not your Fellow NEWCOMER! and I don't want nothing to do with your Business! So leave me out of it! you stuck up Swimmer!" Wayne was seeing rage at this point and runs off really shocking everyone what they heard from him and what just happened.

"Topys don't" Tria saw Topys about to go after Wayne "I will go, you stay here and deal with the matter of the Sharptooth." Topys groans a little but nods and Tria goes after Wayne.

Topys then turn to Brian with a shake of his head before heading into the meeting "We better get this sorted before anyone else happens..." Topys spoke to the crowd of dinosaurs.

Cera couldn't believe it "Wow he really did one over that Swimmer" Cera turn to Littlefoot with a suprised look on her face caught off guard by this violte release of anger from Wayne.

Brian heard the rage far behind him. He groaned and sighed

"Right... this vacation is over with, I need to find that cursed stone and get the h*ll out of here and away from those dratted forums too if my feelings are pushed any further."

I wish that Wayne would guard his tongue. Allies are necessary for us to get out of here. Austin thought to himself.

"I apologize for our rudeness, but what is going on?" Vylor said. He was standing next to Argaya.
