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

Longtail smiled while still on his back and said "I'm okay...I'm just lucky I landed on the ground with my head..." Then he remembered the reason for coming. "Hey Cayso wanna have a friendly sparring match against me...ya know, after we get back to the others."

"Are your twin brothers going to be sparring too?" Littlefoot asked stiill laying on his back.

Cayso listened to Littlefoot's last comment and began laughing - "Hahaha, yeah, you bet the four of us will be sparring.... if I can hit the right 'twin' of course." - Cayso kept on giggling - "You are too much of a accelerated Flyer, don't you Longtail?, that Rainbowface Cyrix told me that you may be interested to have a sparring match with me. I just didn't know you were this interested".

"Just be careful, and remember you are not fighting for real." Littlefoot said.

"Thanks for the warning but don't worry, we'll be careful, right Longtail?. This is just a match to get better ourselves and learn." - Cayso looked at Longtail and then to Littlefoot, their attitudes were different, Longtail is really excited for this while Littlefoot shows himself a bit of worried, so he replied to try to make him feel better: - "If this makes you feel better Littlefoot, I can tell the arbitrator to stop the fight at any minute if you think we are going too far.".
 Cayso stood up slowly so Ecco will not hurt himself and told him smiling - "Don't worry Ecco, this time I'll just walk."

Littlefoot rolled over onto his belly and got up onto all of his feet slowly.  "Maybe it is best if we go back, the others may start to get concerned if we stay away to long." He said, mostly steady on his feet and would soon be back to normal.

Longtail smiled and said "Don't worry Littlefoot we'll be careful! Won't we Cayso?" He then looked to face Cayso and replied "Yeah..I guess I do fly a little faster than I should when I'm happy or bored. I'll try to slow down the next time I fly okay?"

Longtail then stood up and commented "Yeah...walking sounds like a good idea."

"Is everyone ready to head back?" Littlefoot asked looking around, and mostly recovered.

OCC: Sorry again that I am away for that long, it¥s just because of the meeting with Gustav

IC: Ecco, who still was buzzy from the whole situation, didn¥t notice anything. I.... I think... I didn¥t hurt myself. I.... eeh, felt very... soft. He still didn¥t know why, he was wondering a bit. Than he looked to Cayso and the others. Who won the race? He asked.

Ruby, who noticed the flyer early enough, made a step to the side. Are.... are you guys okay? That looked,... eeh, well. Just want to make sure if everyone is alright.

OOC: As I said in the other RPG, you don't have to worry Nimrod, it is nice to have you back posting, but it is better to know you are visiting a friend, I hope both of you will have a great time :DD .

IC: Cayso replied to Ecco while smiling - "Nice you didn't hurt yourself, as you landed on me." - Now grinning - "you are eating too much of those Star-shaped leafs." - (consider that Cayso may not remember that those leafs are called Treestars).

 "Well, the race was...ehh, cancelled due to some bumping accident." - Still grinning he showed Ecco where Longtail is - "Longtail was bored and came here looking for us, but he bumped on Littlefoot and then he bumped on me while flying."

 Cayso stood up again still carrying Ecco - "It seems Ruby was the only one fast enough to evade Longtail." - He happily tells Ruby - "You sure make justice to your kind's name."

"At least everyone's ok, that is the important thing." Littlefoot said looking at his various friends, "Or soon will be anyway." He said.

Eeh,... okay, Ecco said. That¥s good that nobody got hurt.

Ruby smiled at Cayso: Thank you.

Cayso agreed with Ecco - "Yes, it is a relief we are all ok, and we may laugh about this whenever we remember it." - After seeing that everybody was ready he continued - "so let's get back to the others, at least it would be better for me if other grown-ups see me with those grown-up Rainbowfaces... but I am surprised that half the Valley didn't show up with all this bumping noise, haha." Cayso began walking while carrying Ecco in route to where Cyrix and the others are.

Littlefoot nods, "Hopefully things will go well and the others must be missing us now and wondering what happened." he said while walking along with the others.

I am sure things will go well Littlefoot. Ruby said. Don¥t worry. How is your ancle doing Ecco?

My ancle is fine so far, thank you Ruby. It isn¥t needfull that Cayso carrys me now, but I think arguing wouldn¥t help.

Longtail finally stood up and shook the dirt and dust off of his body and replied "Well, I think Littlefoot is right, we should be getting back now. But knowing my uncle, he's having a nice quiet talk with my Aunt Mim."

The truth however, was that Cyrix had chosen to get some well deserved rest and had quickly fallen asleep....standing upright!

Mim saw Cyrix asleep, a bit surprised never have seen anyone sleep standing up before.  She remained as quiet as she was thinking that Cyrix must be tired and needed his rest.  She rested for a while herself, sitting down, and when she felt she had rested enough for now and was looking for a quiet thing to do, so as not to wake up Cyrix, while looking around saw 3 small rocks.  She picked these up and started to juggle them.

Cayso smiled at Ecco's comment - "if I were you Ecco, I would be enjoying the ride, but don't worry, we are almost arriving now." - Cayso made sure he was firmly grabbing Ecco and while walking he began taking a closer look to this section of the Valley.

"Ok, you asked for it!" - Cayso gave an evil-ish grin and began running again. - "I just hope there won't be other crazy flyers around to bump on us again!"- Cayso exclaimed while laughing.
