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

'Wayne! I've been looking all over for you. By the way, where is Rick? I need to talk to you two.' Austin said as he walked up to Wayne.

"I'm right here." said Rick as he walked away from the rock formation and looked to the others and said "Now you guys can go up!" He smiled and looked down at Longtail and said "Can you wait here without getting into trouble?" The flyer looked at him, pretending to look hurt as he said "How can you say that?"

Rick scoffed and said "Because I..." He shut his mouth almost immediately as he said 'I have GOT to watch those slip-ups.' He then said "Because your uncle would blame me, if anything happened to you...got it?" Longtail frowned and said "Yeah...I get it."

As Longtail flapped his wings and landed on the ground Rick turned to Austin and said "What do you need to talk to me and Wayne about?"

'I think that we should meet by the lava pit in three days. Is that okay with you two?' Austin said.

'One big problem, Mr Threehorn' Wayne whispers back to him. 'He took it in his own personally interest to look after me and look over to my right just by those set of trees' Wayne whispers and both look over to his right and in the distance was Mr Threehorn.

Petrie flew down as the others walked, keeping near but a bit above them.  

Once the ones from the first group arrived Mim then looked at the others, "Is the second group ready to go up?" She asked.  

Chomper and Kor nodded, "How about everyone else?" Chomper asked looking at the others as well.

Rick looked over to Austin and said "I don't have a problem with that...although Littlefoot's grandparents might worry a bit, but I'm sure I'll be fine. Why is something wrong?"

'Look behind me to the right' Wayne whispers again with a roll of his eyes since this was the second time he told him to look.

Cera saw the annoance on Wayne's face as she sat away waiting for them to finish talking "Looks like those two starting to annoy him" Cera chuckled.

Brian followed Ducky towards the group

"You don't suppose some of these are still angry with me for the incident back at the meeting do you?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice. "And I do see Wayne... I'm still uncertain if I should come near him yet... He sounded rather offended when I was just leaving."

"It appears the 3 of us are ready." Kor said.  

"It's a great view, let's go." Chomper said.

"We should wait a bit to see if anyone of the second group wishes to go with us." Mim said.  

"I'll wait a little bit, then I'm going, even if I have to go alone." Chomper said.

Kor put his hand on Chomper's shoulder, "You'll not have to go alone." He said.

"Thanks." Chomper said looking up at Kor.

Rick looked behind Wayne and saw what he meant...Topsy was standing far enough away to be hidden by the shadows of the nearby trees. 'Not well enough.' thought Rick to himself he then asked Wayne "Well, what are you gonna do?"

"Alright, Ducky, I'll trust your judgement" Brian said with an uncertain sigh, he then continued forward to meet the group

Seeing the others were talking Min turned her head to Chomper and the others in her group, "Let's go on up, the others seem to be busy talking about various things."

"Yes, let's." Chomper said a bit impatient.  Mim lead her group of herself, Diver who was riding on her, Chomper and Kor up to the look out spot.  Petrie remained in the area of the first group who had already come down.

"I don't know, I wasn't expecting him to take it too this level to watching over me like a damn hurk" Wayne whispered with a sigh. "I guess I just have to figure it out"

Rick gave a short laugh, and said to Wayne "I'm sure you'll think of something...he can't watch over you all day AND night...he'll have to sleep sometime right?"

Mim and the others made their way up to the look out point rock area.  Mim stood to one side so the others could see.

"Here it is.  You can see quite a bit from here." She said as she waved with her hand to indicate the view.

Kor looked at the view, "Wow, it is quite a site." He said.

Chomper nodded, "Yes, you can see the whole valley from here." He said.

"It is a nice site.  I like to visit here sometimes, I certainly do." Diver said.

Brian and Ducky soon came near the group

"Hello everyone." he said "and Wayne" with a nod towards the threehorn
"I feel I owe you an apology."

Wayne felt sorry and said back "DOn't worry about it, just forget it happened, guess we all was on stress back there."

"Wow you sound like a adult talking like that Wayne" Cera said looking over at him

"Guess without much playing with other kids I guess hanging around adults day and night I got it off them" Wayne came up with a reason

"SOunds good to me. I most likely sound like that if that happened to me" Cera joked and laughed with Wayne joining in. Before he would of not seen the funny side but some reason he could now.

Brian smiled and nodded "I'm certainly glad we could put that behind us."

He then looked around him "So I'm guessing this is the tour line for the Great Valley? Mind if I joined for the rest of it?"

"It is an amazing sight." Mim said, "I come here sometimes also.  Though not to often where it becomes an ordinary sight."

Kor nodded understanding, "Then this sight can still hold it's wonder and things like that." He said.

Chomper looked down and across a bit at the various people he could see.  "I like how everyone looks small, even Littlefoot's grandparents." He said.

"Some are to small to see from here, they certainly are." Diver said.

(ooc: Anyone else coming up to the lookout spot here?)
