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

Ecco blushed a bit and asked: You think so, Cayso? Hehe, I think that you are even more tougher than me. So far I can remember, you were in much more fights than I ever was. Ecco began to laugh and sat down on the stones again.

Until Mim returned Cyrix decided to sit down as well and looked over to Cayso and Ecco as they talked and asked "So Cayso and Ecco, if I were to bet a treestar on who's tougher...who would win?"

Oh, I guess Cayso would, Ecco said with a short look at Cayso before he looked back into the sky and watched the clouds passing by.

"I guess the two of you haven't had a reason to actually fight each other to find out.  Which is good." Littlefoot said resting with the others.  

Mim soon returned holding a few herbs she had found.  She went over to Cyrix.  "I found these, I hope they will help."She said holding some out to him.

"What reason TO fight?" Petrie said. "It never good anyway."

Mr Threehorn pitched in by moving some boulders as well.

"I concurr, it is my hope that we will never have to figure out who is stronger." - Cayso's sight turned into nowhere in particular while saying - "Our real strenght always shows itself in times of need, specially when we fight to protect those we love."

Cyrix smiled as Mim returned and said Thank you for your help Mim. These will do just fine!" He took the herbs from her and put Longtail gently on the ground. He then rubbed two of the herbs together and placed the goo from them onto Longtail's head and back then said "That should do it...I hope. All we can do now is wait!"

Grandpa longneck walked forward and used his feet to move several boulders slowly and carefully and he even used his head once or twice to move a few rocks out of the way. "It seems that we are making good progress, how is everyone doing?" he asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.

Cayso took a look at the Rainbowfaces - "You sure know what you are doing Mim, I bet Longtail will be fine soon." - Cayso then grabbed another crawler nearby to where he was sitting - "... This must be my lucky day."

Mim smiled, "Thanks, I learned from may parents and others as well." She then turned to Cyrix, "I do hope he gets well soon.  His resting should help." She said with concern on her face and voice.    


Littefoot nodded to what Cayso and Ecco said, "Yes, there is nor reason for friends to fight.  Only when you have to protect others or yourself." He said.

Cyrix smiled as he looked down at Longtail and said "I hope he gets better soon too Mim."

Cayso looked at Ecco, he was contemplating the clouds, and then he saw everybody else that was in there, and he began to think - "This place, I'd really like to live in here with my herd, but that cannot be possible... I hope the dinosaurs from the Valley will not learn too much about me or I would be expelled, and I'd like my brother to come here and see this place." - Then his sight focused on Longtail - "... fight since the day he hatched?, then he must be strong, but he doesn't look that strong; but I cannot judge others by how they look; if Ecco can surprise me, then I can think that other strong dinosaurs must live in here too, good to know they can defend..."

"... such a nice place." - Cayso said that last line and he knew the others listened to him. - "too bad I cannot be here indefinitely".

Cyrix then decided to try something that he had personally wanted to see. He began to slowly and carefully began to rub Longtail's belly. "well this worked once...let's try for two." said Cyrix with a smile.

OOC: Well I think I didn't make my last post clearer, sorry about that GVG but Cayso only spoke the last line: "... such a nice place." ...... I will try to keep up nevertheless.

Mim watches Cyrix, "So rubbing his belly wakes him up?" She asks a bit curious.  

Littlefoot nods, "As long as you both know it's only practice and don't hurt each other, it may be good.  Up to the two of you though.  Maybe you both can make some sort of game out of it." Littlefoot said.

OOC: Thanks for editing the post GVG :DD . I'll try to make better posts now.

ICC: "Well, I am not sure you should wake him up now Cyrix, with the fever he had" - Cayso spoke while finishing to eat the Crawler he grabbed some minutes ago - "but... I still cannot avoid thinking that I've heard the name Longtail before, I am trying to remember from where." - Cayso looked at Cyrix and then to Ecco with some curiosity on his face.

Cyrix sighed as he listened to what Mim asked and his reply was: "Well it only worked once so far...I'm not sure it will work again. Even if it doesn't I'm just trying to make him feel better." He then heard Cayso speak and he nodded in response waiting for Cayso to remember the name on his own, but also said "Well if he does wake up, he'll most likely be hungry. And with the herbs here...he will only get better faster."

Just then Longtail moaned and whispered..."water." Cyrix smiled and said "I'll take you personally to a slow moving stream." The rainbow face then stood up and walked over to the stream and gently placed Longtail's beak in the water...and instinctively Longtail began to drink his fill.

Ecco smiled and was glad that Longtail was awake now. Ruby came to Cyrix and Longtail and kept them company. Fine that your newby is doing better now, she adressed to Cyrix.

Cyrix smiled at Ruby and said "Thank you. He is lucky to have friends like you that care so much about his well being."

"Guess we'll know how he feels once he's woken up and eaten some of those herbs." Mim said.

Littlefoot nods, "I'm sure he'll be feeling better soon."

"I'm sure also." Mim said patting Cyrix on the shoulder.

Mrs swimmer swam underwater and moved a few stones aside with a bit of help then surfaced for some air, before going to try to move a stone a bit more above water.  

Mrs Flyer continued to try to move some of the smaller stones with some help.

Cyrix looked back and blushed as Mim placed her hand on his shoulder and then looked down to Longtail and began to rub his belly again. The little flyer smiled and opened his eyes and whispered "Hi, uncle Cyrix...Hi Aunt Mim. Do you...have anything...to eat? I'm hungry." Cyrix smiled and nodded as he asked "Would you like to carry him back Mim?'
