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

"I guess you followed your brother here." Mim said kneeling down to per herself closer to eye level with Racnar.  "How are you doing?" She asked him.  

Littlefoot looked over at the commotion area and walked over for a closer look.  "Hello, I'm Littlefoot.  You look about Chomper's size." He said while smiling.

(OOC: I assume Racnar is somewhere around Chomper's size, if not I'll change the post.)

Longtail still not wanting to strain his voice simply decided to bow his head to Racnar and show his respect to Cayso's brother that way.

OOC: Yes, Racnar is about Chomper's size.

IC: Racnar felt a bit of overwhelmed due to the number of dinosaurs that went to meet him, he pressed his brother's hand a bit harder and gave a deep breathe before replying - "Thank you.... this is the first time I am with so many leaf-eaters." - He then gave a quick look at Mim, who is still kneeling in front of him - "I am fine right now; and yes, I followed Cayso since things are quiet back at home and I wanted to come here and find him."

Mim nodded"got kinda bored I guess, and maybe a bit curious." She said.  She stood up and walked away a short distance, guessing from the way Racnar was reacting that he was nervous and or scared with so many folks and strangers at that, near him and decided to get a distance away so he'd not feel that way and maybe could calm down a bit.

Littlefoot looked at Racnar, "Nice to have met you.  You want to come and soak in the warm water for a  while?" He asked using his head to indicate the hot springs nearby.

"Sounds like a good idea." - Cayso said to his brother. Racnar gave a weak smile and walked with Cayso to the water following Littlefoot's advice, as they passed next to Ecco, Racnar told him - "Cayso has told me a lot about you, it's nice to meet you too."
 They arrived to the water, as Racnar made up his mind to enter for a bit, he saw Cyrix - "This must be a good place if he is sleeping like that." - Slowly, the kid began leaving the shyness and began letting his curiosity to take it's place.
 Cayso, who didn't enter the water again. saw Mim and the others, and smiled.

Ecco blushed a bit and smiled. Nice kid, he thought. Has something from his brother.

Longtail followed behind the other and stopped walking for a moment as he turned to face Cayso. Longtail then smiled and nodded his head at his friend and then stepped back into the water slowly and carefully and swam back near his uncle and slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Littlefoot went back towards the water but not to close to Racnar, not wanting him to feel crowded.  

Mim went over to Cayso, "He seems ok now.  And is cute." She said.

Cayso saw Mim and replied - "It is a relief indeed, I wish he could stay like that forever." - after hearing her other comment, the kid giggled - "he is cute, but that is a family feature.".
 Racnar is looking with curiosity the place and the dinosaurs near him, and he is deciding if he wants to swim closer the sleeping Rainbowface and poke him.

Mim nods, not saying he was cute to not embarrass him.  "Indeed, would you go over the symptoms again? I just want to be sure of them."

Littlefoot went back into the warm water, curious what Racnar would do and smiling a bit at that it looked like he was going to do.

"Ok, I'll try to be more specific now..." - Cayso said to Mim what he knew are Racnar's symptoms when he feels sick, but it is difficult for Cayso to describe them, specially some when his little brother are in the worst shape (happily that is not often).

Racnar didn't notice that Littlefoot was staring at him, the kid went closer to the sleeping Rainbowface, his face was of absolute curiosity, he then extended his right hand and apporached one claw to Cyrix.

Ecco watched interested what the Racnar was doing. Really a cute kid, he thought. Doesn¥t happen all the time one meets a kid raptor like that. He then turned to Ecco and listened to the conversation he has with Mim.

*poke* Racnar poked Cyrix, waiting to see what happens...*poke* *poke*, he then thought - "I just hope I will not get into trouble for doing this."

 Cayso was talking with Mim, but he noticed that Ecco was near enough to listen, so he turned around his head and told his friend - "I think it may be useful if you know too Ecco." - Cayso has a very serious look, but inside, he still has the senstation that for the first time there is a hope to save his brother.

Mim nodded and waved Ecco over.  "Come on over, you may have some questions yourself." She said to Ecco in a friendly voice.

Cyrix eyes slowly opened as he felt something poking him. He turned his head to the left, expecting to see his nephew, but Longtail was asleep next to him so he looked to his right and smiled as he said in a soft tone "Why, hello there...who are you?"

Racnar was floating next to the Rainbowface with only his face out of the water, after seeing he was not going to be nagged he replied - "Hello mister, I am Cayso's brother." - But Racnar's eyes are still focused on Cyrix - "I've heard Rainbowfaces are very unique, that's why we don't eat them. And the lady Rainbowface says she can help cure me."

 In the mean time, Cayso smiled as he saw Ecco approaching - "I'll be glad to answer any question you may have, at least I'll try to answer."

Cyrix smiled again as he replied, "well Racnar, it is very nice to meet you. I am glad to see Cayso has family here...I'm going to assume you followed your brother here right?" He then looked over to Mim and gave a light chuckle as he said, "And I know for a fact that Mim will do her very best to help you get better."

Longtail was still sleeping soundly, but he suddenly started to snore. Cyrix at that point gave a wide smile, but said anything.

Ecco walked over to Mim and Cayso. What is it I should know? he asked.

Cayso replied with a sad voice. - "Well, my brother is sick... he has been since he hatched. Most dinosaurs say that this sickness will end up killing Racnar, but I still have the hope of finding a way to save him." - Cayso looked at Ecco with a smile as he shed a tear - "If Mim is right, maybe there is really a hope to save him."

In the mean time, Racnar replied to Cyrix - "Mim looks like a nice lady, I am amazed she would help someone like me, after all, we are supposed to be enemies..." - Racnar took a breathe, and cruised his head looking at Littlefoot, then Longtail and then back to Cyrix - "maybe there is something special about this Valley."
