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

After drinking some more water, Cayso decided to go back to the group, been a sharptooth visitor, it is not a good idea to be alone now that he is visible to everybody. He walked until he saw Ecco in the ground. - "Oh boy! I knew I was going to miss this happening." - Cayso thought until he got next to his friend. - "What happened Ecco? I thought only Flyers had problems with landing." - Cayso giggled.

Haahaa. You know? Longtail crashed me, Ecco answered and gickled. Nah, I just have to practise the wake up more.

"Good it is just the wake up you have to practice, but if I were to believe your previous excuse, then I may end up thinking that Longtail is more dangerous than Redclaw." - Cayso kept on giggling while offering his hand to help Ecco to stand up.

"I"m glad you are feeling better." Mim said to Ecco smiling.

Littlefoot nodded, "It is a good thing indeed." He said smiling also.

Oh yes, thanks to you and the others Mim. He smiled at them, than turned to Cyrix. Thanks for teaching me and the others Cyrix. I think that will be a great help for life.

"That's right, they all did a great job. It is a relief to see you are better now." - Cayso turned to see the Rainbowfaces and he bowed his head in sign of gratefulness.

Cyrix smiled at the thanks he was receiving and he bowed his head and said "You are all very welcome. I am glad to give you a new skill that may help you all."

Longtail finally stood up and said "So can Cayso and I get our sparring match going Uncle Cyrix?"

Cyrix nodded his head and said "I don't see why not?" He then turned to Cayso and asked "Well, are you well enough to try?"

"Yes, I am ready to have this sparring match." - Cayso replied to Cyrix and then turned to see Longtail, and smiled as he said - "After all I don't think you can wait any longer". Cayso then took a quick glance at Ecco and whispered to him still smiling - "I hope he won't be as dangerous as Redclaw." - Cayso gave a few steps and asked Longtail - "Is it ok to spar here? or do you have some place in mind?"

Longtail smiled and said "Actually yeah, I do...The base of the Smoking mountain!"

Cyrix sighed and put a hand to his head as he replied "Perhaps another place would be best. Mim, do you have any suggestions on where these two can spar in safety?"

"Smoking mountains can be tricky indeed, but I also came here to know more of the Great Valley so I have no problems to spar there, and there is less chances for other Grown-ups to see us and think I am actually attacking Longtail."

"The smoking mountain can be dangerous since it does sometimes throw or spew out bubbling fire. " Mim said.  

Littlefoot nods, "I remember, that happened when we went to the Canyon of Shiny Stones to help Cera get one.  We were stuck on a ledge with bubbling fire under it and had to be rescued by some of our parents & grandparents." He said remembering the incident.

"One possibility could be a large cave.  Few folks go into caves." Mim said then paused as she looked at Littlefoot & his friends, "Except some who are adventurous and exploring. & less likely for a flyer to see while flying overhead and going to tell other grown ups.  Though there are other places also."

Hmm, maybe a solution, he said to Mim. But, the most important thing is, that the grown ups can¥t see us there. So, I¥d rather say, the smoking mountains would be the best place, but it¥s also dangerous, sure. The cave you mentioned Mim, would be also okay. Just the surrounding in the smoking mountains is better for a fight. But that¥s all.

"Well, I think the smoking mountain should be our best bet then, because caves are not the best of places for a Flyer, and Longtail would not be able to move freely." - Cayso stepped a bit closer to Ecco, and after a bit he said - "Ecco, how far we are from the smoking mountain you all mention?, if it is not too far away then it should cause no problems for your ankle."

Hmm, not far, I guess it wouldn¥t take that long. So, everyone ready? And, are you okay with it? Cyrix and Mim?

Cyrix frowned and replied "I still think a cave would be better." He then looked down to Longtail and asked "Well nephew, you are the one Cayso will be sparring against, so what do you think is the best choice?"

Longtail smiled and said "I really don't care where we have our match, I'm just as flexible in a cave as I am in the open...so whatever."

Cyrix patted Longtail on the head as he said "You my nephew...are a fighter to the end aren't you?"

Longtail smiled and replied "Yep! Now come on, let's go!"

Mim looked at the 2 of them, "So which will it be?" Mim asked.

"There is less chance of bubbling fire or burning rocks falling on you in a cave, plus in an area of the secret caves there is a lot of water." Littlefoot said, remembering walking past the waterfall and flowing water in the cave as Chomper & then the rest of them were singing about adventuring.
