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 believe his going to discover the complex soon... his been at locations where Startor gets back into the Complex a lot lately and today alone his been visiting that spot over 12 times." Elm said rubbing his head a little "No Offience Cera but from what we learnt about your father his the last dinosaur we would like to show us selfs to"

Grandpa longneck sighed and said "I have to agree here. Mr.Threehorn isn't the most understanding of things that change." He then looked over at Prof. Elm and asked "What do you think will happen if he does find your underground valley?"

Longtail who was now sitting on a nearby rock said "I don't know...but it won't be good...I can tell that much already."

"We could always tell him part of the truth without lieing.  Say we were exploring some caves, which we are.  We don't have to tell him that humans were with us or that it's their cave they were showing us around."

"That may work.  It is the truth, but not all the truth." Ducky said.  

"Me like Cera's idea.  It no lie." Petrie said nodding.

"Yes, it would be most unfortunate if he were to find out about this valley and the humans.  I remember how he reacted to knowing there were tiny longnecks in the Great Valley, then the yellowbellies.  I have found my life is far quieter and more orderly if I try my best to find out what part of the Great Valley Threehorn is in and make sure, if I can, to be in another part of the Great Valley." Mr. Thicknose said.  "I wonder how the tiny longnecks are doing.  I've not been in the part of the valley where they live in a while.  I must remember to visit them soon.  And the yellowbellies, fun and interesting to talk to.  After making sure Threeehorn wasn't around so I could have a quiet conversation with them."

"now that's an idea! Way to use your head the right way Cera!" cried Longtail as he listened to her idea. He jumped up and walked over and asked "What do you think Grandpa Longneck?"

The elderly Longneck smiled and replied "that is a wonderful idea, but how do we get him down here? He's far too big to fit through the hole up there."

"I am sure of it. That was Thicknose" Mr Threehorn heard some voices "That was also that Longtail flyer kid which means Cera down there" Mr Threehorn was looking around for a way down there "I know some of you kids are down there! I hear you too Thicknose!" he bellowed down the hole. "And what is this Human I keep hearing! Better tell me something before I force my way to where-ever you are!"

---

Elm just blinked "How the heck did he hear all that?" Elm turn to the others then realised "Cave... enclosed area... small long hole to the surface... damn it I forgot about the sound conducting part" Elm said looking to the others.

"Yeah there is a lot of talk backing going on when we speak" Littlefoot replied feeling he should of picked up on that as well.

The Female Rainbow Face came up to them "Well I would suggest leading him down here and talk it over, he not going to go away now"

Elm turn to Startor "the spiral ramp, it large enough for him to walk down. Open it up Startor"

"Alright sir" she walks over to a rock pushing it away showed a hidden leaver then she pulled it all the way down. Suddenly a loud noise could be heard as the wall opens up to a large slopy rocky path behind that wall going to the left but going up.

---

Mr THreehorn felt the ground shaking a little then before his eyes part of the rocky floor not to far from him shifts downwards in a angle to form a slope he walked up to it and looked at the large slope "How... I better get to the bottom of it" Mr Threehorn just walked down the slope ignoring the risks that he could be in and the slope behind raise back up to form part of the land like there was nothing there.

---

"This is a emergency exit to the Valley" Startor points to the slope behind her hearing the foot steps "Here he come" Startor gets back with the other humans and stood just behind Grandpa Longneck and Mr Thicknose for some protection if Mr Threehorn has any other ideas.

Grandpa Longneck gave his best smile and said "Hello old friend, I know you must have many questions. I can assure you Thicknose and I can answer all of them if you just give us a chance. Even the young ones will help in explaining what's going on, isn't that right?"

Longtail nodded his head and replied "Y-yes of course we'll help!"

Cera picked up the part of the apple she's not eaten yet and walked over to where Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Thicknose were so her father would, hopefully, not think she was being held captive or anything by the humans.  She sat down between them, and went back to finishing her apple.

Chomper continued to eat his toffee apple thinking that with the shouting going to start soon he would need a more quiet place.  He started looking for a good place to go.  

Petrie finished his piece of apple and flew up to the tallest tree in the area, so he would not be to close so when Mr. Threehorn would start shouting.

Ducky put the part of the leaf she had not eaten and climbed up on Spike.  Spike, knowing how loud Mr. Threehorn could get, waited till Ducky was on him and walked away to what he thought would be a quieter place to rest, eat and maybe drink some water.

Mr. Thicknose shook his head.  "Here we go." He said.  "The piece and quiet was nice while it lasted.  Don't be surprised if he wants to do to you what he wanted to do to the tiny longnecks." Mr. Thicknose said.

Mr Threehorn carried on walking seeing the light then finally coming out of the twisting tunnel then he saw a underground valley looking around it not taking much notice of the others he just couldn't believe it then he locked eyes on Elm "YOU! Why am I not surprised to find amazing place with a odd creation like you again! ELM!"

"huh? What?" Littlefoot looked lost and so many did as well.

"I knew you promised that I would see something amazing if I kept my mouth shut about seeing you and about you hiding being a Rainbow Face but your outdone it. I almost forgot about you and those crazy human things" Mr Threehorn looked at everyone looking very confused "What the matter with all of you!?" he snapped at them Elm just chuckling to himself just standing by a rock

Mr. Thicknose was to old to be surprised by much anymore.  He had been mildly surprised at seeing tiny longnecks.  He just looked at Threehorn.  "It would seem that you got all the shouting and wanting to stomp the humans done with earlier." Mr. Thicknose said in a calm voice.

  Chomper was to surprised to say anything and held his partially finished toffee apple in one of his hands and his mouth hanging open with his sharpteeth visible and a look of surprise on his face.  He was surprised that Cera's dad didn't immediately start shouting like he enjoyed doing.   Cera decided to stay quiet to see what was going on and would go on before she said anything.

"He has not gone boom, but he will soon I am sure." Ducky said, being go far to hear anything of what was being said.  Spike nodded then made some sounds that were incomprehensive to others.  Ducky nodded, "Some water would be nice." She said agreeing with Spike who set off walking towards one of the bodies of water, making sure he was farther away from Threehorn, which he disliked all the shouting that he liked doing.  

Petrie stood on the treebranch high up.  It didn't sound to him like Mr. Threehorn was angry, but he assumed he would soon go boom like booming mountain.  "Me go before he go boom like smoking mountain." He said to himself, being to high up and away to hear much of what Threehorn was saying.  Looking around he saw where Spike was heading, "Me go where Spike & Ducky go, they no go boom." He said and set off flying over to where they were heading.

"What was that loud flyer I saw the other night!? It left and came and woke me up! I was not impressed at all! I know you crazy Rainbow Faces and humans use things but that thing was louder then anything!" Mr Threehorn wanting to know what it was straight away.

Elm turn to Frank "That would be Frank's Plane" Elm said

"His loud flyer?" he moves towards Frank, his snout only inches from Frank "If you fly one of those Loud Flyers again over my nest at night I will make you sorry! Understood?" Mr Threehorn said in demand "I have kids and all I need is their sleep disturbed by you crazy human Loud Flyers!"

Littefoot looked very confused "I don't get it... is it me or does Mr Threehorn knew about the human thingys?"

Elm nods "Indeed he does, I told him, it was the only way to not be crushsed by a big foot like his at the time" Elm replied calmly

Female Rainbow Face whispers to the Male "I am surprised he didn't blow on them"

Grandpa Longneck much like Mr Thicknose had seen a lot of things in his life and this...was quite a shock for him. He took a step forward and asked "So Mr.Threehorn, you've met the humans before, then why haven't you told anyone yet?"

Longtail ever the curious flyer decided to stay standing on Grandpa longnecks back...just in case Cera's dad went boom. "I'll at least be safe up here." he said to himself

Chomper got over his surprise and went back to finishing his toffee apple.

Spike reached the water and as he got a drink Ducky jumped off of his back and dove into the water, landing to Spike's side with little splash, the little that did didn't reach where he was.   She then came up and swam around a bit going back towards Spike and rolled over so she was floating on her back.

"Come on in Spike, the water is cool." She said.

Spike walked in a bit once he got his drink and relaxed in the water.  The water reaching only up to the middle of his sides.

"If I didn't know any better the way you said that your older then you look" suddenly he saw a Rainbow Face tail on Frank "Your a Rainbow Face" Mr Threehorn said to him.

"Yes my son" Elm repled calmly.

Ian ran over to Evan, feeling scared about Mr.Treehorn.
Evan took him up.
"It's okay Ian, no one here's gonna hurt you." Evan said and rubbed his belly gently. He probably sounds worse than he bites... I've seen this before, haven't I? Evan thought for himself about Mr.Treehorn, smiling.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"Got the tail, you make it sound like someone handed it to you." Chomper said.

"I can imagine some of your friends were rather surprised when they saw you with a tail you did not have before." Mr. Thicknose said.

"Yea, the stupider ones likely screamed or something and ran away." Cera said.
---

"Come in Petrie, the water isn't cold, or very deep here." Ducky said, floating on her back near the shore and looking at him.

Spike nodded, enjoying the coolness of the water.

"Me no swimmer, me flyer.  Me stay here." Petrie said from the shore near the water.  He edged carefully near the water to get a drink, but making sure he didn't fall or slip in.

"Yeah one or two ran away and screamed,' chuckled frank. "It was mostly people that I didn't know that criticized me,' frank said with a sad look on his face.
