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

Mim nods, "I think your uncle has some herbs for you to eat if you'd like." She looked to Cyrix smiling, "Yes, I'd like to carry him," then she looks at Longtail, "that is if he'd not mind." Mim said.

Cayso stood up as soon as Cyrix went with Longtail to the stream and sat down next to his friend - "Ecco, you know, in the place you all call Mysterious Beyond, we have encountered other travellers, and some of them have spoken of a little long-tailed dinosaur that have defeated sharpteeth by himself." - he took a look at Ecco - "would be that little Flyer the dinosaur I have listened about?."

"Really, I've not heard that, though maybe that is in one of the directions of the mysterious beyond I've not lived.  Though I have heard a few legends about tiny longnecks being seen,  and hidden runner." Mim said thinking of some of the legends and stories she had heard.


Littlefoot looks at Ecco,  "Is your ankle feeling better?  Are you hungry?  Do you need me to bring you some food or water?

"There are many legends out there, and I bet this Valley has it's own legends as well." - Cayso replied to Mim, then he listened to Littlefoot's question towards Ecco - "That's right, I'll be happy to bring you something too" - Cayso stood up again, took a look at the others and continued with a shy smile - "... if there is no problem with me walking around the Valley."

Longtail smiled as he tapped Mim with his tail and asked quietly "Please...Aunt Mim..carry me...I'm still hungry." Cyrix smiled and said "well that settles it then." He then stood up and walked over to where Mim sat and gently handed Longtail over to her and said to Cayso "You know, before I came here I too heard of a long-tailed flyer who had fought sharpteeth. But it was just a story after all..." A small smile tugged at Cyrix's face...knowing the truth was fun when others were asking questions.

Cayso saw Cyrix and then he took a long breath - "Yes, I suppose that was just a story, it's a shame, because for what I have heard, of those who know the story, half of them wants to fight that Flyer and the other half admires the Flyer". - He turned around to see Ecco - "So, do you need something?" - he waited for his friend's answer.

Mim nods and gently accepted Longtail into her arms and hands.  She went over to where the herbs were kept and picked up one to offer to Longtail.  "How about some of these before leaves?" Mim said in a soft gentle voice.


Littlefoot nods, "There must be many stories out there.  Like some my Grandfather tells, or some of the wild ones Petrie's uncle tells, like the one about a giant flying sharptooth that can scoop up several of the large types sharpteeth." He said.

Longtail nodded in response to Mim's question and asked "Yes, please Aunt Mim." then he asked a very silly question "Will these make me feel better? I still don't feel very well."

Mim nods and speaks in an almost motherly way, "It's suppose to.   You'll be well soon.  If want anything be sure to ask.  Resting and drinking some water should help also." Mim said as she offered one of the herbs that she had gathered that from her past experience and being taught would help those sick and with a fever.


Littlefoot thought about his experiences with stories and some of the experiences he has had in the past.  "I wonder if some of the stories are true.  Some of them could be.  Perhaps many were, but some of the facts got a little mixed up over time." He said.

*Twilight slaps a boulder with his tail and moves over to the side a little.*

Twilight: I think we're doing great. Remember to be careful everyone. Mrs. Swimmer, which ones shouldn't we move?

*He turns his head towards the swimmer in the water.*

Mrs. Swimmer points to some boulders and large rocks, "The area around those seem to be less stable, but the rest seem to be ok." She said.

Mrs. Flyer moved some of the smaller ones, taking time to take a brief rest while she looked around to see how the others were doing.

Longtail ate several of the healing herbs Mim gave to him, and he smiled. "Those were good....but now I'm tired again." Longtail yawned as he said "I'm going to take another nap. Thank you for helping me Aunt Mim." He then curled himself up, and in moments was fast asleep in Mim's arms.

Grandpa Longneck sighed as he moved two more boulders and said "This is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I do wonder just how many rocks fell down around here?"

~~~~

Cyrix then smiled as he said "Well some stories are truer than others, just maybe this is one of those true stories."

*Twilight then looks around at the others working. Then he wispers to himself.*

Twilight: I hope no one hits the wrong ones. Who knows of the danger that may be upon us then...

*He then uses his long neck and head to knock one more rock down.*

Cayso replied to Cyrix with a small grin - "Maybe yes, and to find out things helps make life much more interesting" - "Well, if you need something just let me know" - Cayso said to Ecco with a smile - "However I'm hungry..." - Cayso hurried to finish his phrase - "...somebody knows a good spot to find tasty Crawlers around here?".

Yeah, there is one. Ecco said and pointed at Petrie. As he saw Petries scared look he began to laugh. No, I am kidding. You see the trees to your left side? Behind these trees is a cave with many tasty crawlers. I can lead you there if you want. My ancle still hurts a bit, but I think it will be okey.

Littlefoot looks over at the mention of a cave full of crawlers, "A cave full? I wonder if Chomper knows of those." He said.  

Mim continued to hold Longtail as he slept, softly rubbing him and hoping he'd feel better soon.

Mrs Flyer and Swimmer moved some more rocks with help by those nearby.  "I wonder how long this'll continue and how much we should clear out." Mrs Swimmer said half to herself and half to others.

"Guess we just have to work for a while then see the progress we have made." Mrs Flyer said.

Longtail subconsiously purred as Mim continued to hold and rub his back while he slept. He then said "What a wonderful place this is..." It was obvious he was dreaming about another place.

Cyrix meanwhile stood up and stretched as he looked around. He then said "Well, as soon as Longtial is better, I'll see if he can spar against you Cayso. Would you like that?"

"Well, that sounds like a plan" - Cayso knelt in front of Ecco - "I prefer not to walk alone around here to avoid problems, and since your ankle hasn't recovered yet I can carry you."
