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 continued to work on the travel nest.  "Almost done, and he'll be well soon.  Just needs to soak in the hot springs and get some leaves of a certain type on his wounds may help too." Mim said.

Hold on Longtail, hold on..., Ecco thought while working a few last things out at the travelling nest. It¥s almost done, he said.

And how are you doing, Cayso?, Ruby asked.

Littlefoot went over closer to Cayso, "Yea, you feeling ok?" Littlefoot asked.

"I've been better..." - Cayso replied, still in pain to really try to stand up yet. - "... but I'll be fine, thank you. Just try to finish the travelling nest for your friend, he needs it soon." - Also, after hearing what Mim said about leaves he began wondering - "what if she.......?"

What if she what?... Ruby asked with a gentle voice.

Cayso looked at Ruby with much surprise. - "Oh boy, I thought I only thought that." - Cayso thought without noticing that he actually spoke his idea out of his mind. - "Ehh... nothing in particular, sorry." - The kid tried his best to avoid giving an answer to that, he feels it may not be the best to say anything just yet, but he was interested in Mim's knowledge of plants and he couldn't avoid taking a quick look at her again.

Eeh, okay, Ruby said with a kinda confused look. So you are alright? Or do you need something?

"I'll be fine, thanks." - Cayso replied with a smile - "I think things will get much better once we reach the hot springs."

They will, indeed. But the others need to hurry. How far are you two over there, she asked.

We are finished in a little moment, wait. .... Okay, I am finished now, what¥s with you Mim? Ecco asked.

Mim did a little adjusting of a few sticks here and there then looked at Ecco, "There, I'm all finished also." She said.   "Looks like we may be ready to try the travel nest." She said looking at the travel nest, Longtail and the others present.  

Littlefoot went over closer to Cayso, "Are you sure you are ok? " He said looking at Cayso with concern in his voice.

"I will be fine soon, I just need a moment so I can stand up again. And my left arm's scar has finally stop bleeding." - Cayso replied happily to Littlefoot so he would not worry too much. - "I bet Cyrix will be the most happy to know the nest is ready, I am too because I am getting worried about Longtail."

Littlefoot looked at Cayso and the injuries that he could see and nodded, "As long as you are sure." He said then went over to where Mim was and motioned with his head.  She had looked up at having finished and was looking at Cayso.  She bent her head closer to littlefoot and he whispered something to which she nodded.

"Yes, I quite agree." She said.

Cyrix looked up and smiled as he heard the good news. "I am so relieved. Mim could you come help me move Longtail onto the nest. I'd do it myself, but I don't want to drop him if he shouts from being moved."

Mim nods, moving over to where Longtail is.  "How do you want to do this?" She asks, looking at Longtail then at Cyrix.

Ecco looked at Mim and Cyrix, then at Longtail. I guess it would be best if one of you graps his legs and the other one the underside of his neck and the back.

Mim looks at Longtail, "Hmm, maybe if we could gently slip hands under him till all of his body is supported and slowly lift him and carry him to the travel nest." Mim said, thinking aloud half to herself.

Cyrix stayed silent for a moment listening to the ideas on how to carry Longtail over to the Travel nest. He then sighed and replied, "I believe the best course of action would be to follow Mim's idea. It is the easiest way for us to move his body, without touching his swollen neck...which would surely cause him more pain."
He then asked Mim, "Are you ready, or do you need a moment? When we move Longtail it will have to be slow, but fast...if that makes any sense."

Mim nods, "I'm ready and it makes sense.  We have to be sure his head and upper body are very well supported, that way his neck may not move while he is moved." Mim said.

I can hold his head while you are moving him, avoiding it to move around, Ecco said and laid his hands gently under Longtails head .

Cayso smiled as he looked how they all organized to make a nest and as they move the injured Flyer: "Is this part of what they are? or maybe a way they have to help themselves to survive?. Maybe we are not as different as everybody thinks. I wish Racnar were here, I bet he could help me answer that." - Cayso was thinking, still seeing how Longtail was carried to the nest, he then reunited enough strenght and began standing up, slowly.
