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 decided that all this talking was getting boring so he flew over to where Ducky and Petrie. He landed next to Petrie and said "Getting a drink? That sounds like a good idea."

Grandpa longneck sighed and commented by saying to Frank "Others can be curel somethimes, but having faith in yourself is always a good thing to have no matter what the issue."

"They are just stupid.  Best to stay away from those stupid types." Cera said.  

Mr. Thicknose nodded to what Grandpa Longneck said, "Very unfortunate, but true, that there are cruel people, and those who do not know any better." He said.

Petrie nodded, "Me thirsty.  Water good you want?" Petrie asked Longtail after he had finished his drink.

Longtail smiled and nodded as he replied to Petrie "Yeah, thanks." Longtail then sat down and started drinking his fill.

Grandpa Longneck nodded to Mr.Thicknose and said "Those kinds are hard to reason with. But it is best to stay away from them. That is the best idea I can give for such conflicts."

Mr Threehorn remembered Elm talking about something about a son before that after reaching the next birthday that the full appearance of what Elm was would show on Frank "This sound strange but when your next hatchday?"

Elm remembered last year what he said to Mr Threehorn "Birthday is the term we used but hatchday/birthday they both the same"

Littlefoot looked over to Cera "Yeah I guess it is kind of stupid, since look at us we all different type of dinosaurs and different shapes, we never act like that nor do the adults, guess some humans don't like differences that much" Littlefoot said feeling sorry for Frank what been through

Cera nods, "Yea, sounds like many humans can be stupid.  Why treat someone different just because they look different." She said.   Then she looked at Frank, "At least we won't treat you any different wither you have scales or not, or fuzzy stuff on your head. " Cera said.

Mr. Thicknose nodded, "That is true.  Those who live in the Great Valley, and certain other places, are use to seeing people who are different. " he said.

"Is it due to their wanting to change how they look?" Mr. Thicknose asked.

------

Ducky splashed Spike who used his tail to splash her in return.

Mr Threehorn look down "well hello there little one" Mr Threehorn lower himself down a little to get a better look at her "Isn't she a cute one." then the turn his eyes on Frank "Well your in for a surprise by that Thursday whenever that is"

"Frank you that talk you have it not the only thing you will have by your birthday." Elm said to him

Female Rainbow Face was listening to them and figured it out "His human/dinosaur but the dinosaur form is starting to show more and more as he comes to age, Age 92 in human years is age 23 in Rainbow Face years. It refered to our kind as the day of becoming a adult. We age slowler then others. I am only 23 my self and his 19 so you can tell why he talked alot" Female Rainbow Face said about the aging of Rainbow Faces and that her friend was only classed as close to becoming a adult.

"So you look like a adult but by this age thing you go by your just at the age of a adult?" Littlefoot looked confused.

"I am 40 in Rainbow Face age that about midway age for us, which makes me around 160 years old to Earth years, we live close to 100 Rainbow Face years which is close to 400 of your earth years." Elm explained to them. "But we act like adults around the age of 2 to 4 rainbow Face years about 20 to 40 years even though we not really that old for us" Elm finished explaining about it

"You Rainbow Faces are very very strange" Mr Threehorn muttered

Grandpa longneck chuckled and said "They have a gift, that is nothing to call strange Mr.Threehorn. I admit it is a bit of a shock that the Rainbow faces don't age as quickly as we do, but it is still something special that they can hold on to."

After finishing his drink, Longtail decided to get in on the fun DUcky and spike were having and slipped into the water head first. As he did, he wondered who he'd splash first...Ducky seemed to be the eaiser target, but with Spike facing her, it would be harder.

'oh well...more of a challenge for me!' thought Longtail

"Do we age faster also, or is it just humans that do, and if all of us do is it only rainbowfaces that live longer, or something they eat wherever they are from." Mr. Thicknose said, curious about those and other things, "and why do types some live longer then others anyway.  Also are there any more people who have 1 rainbow parent but not 2.  I was unaware that 2 different kinds could have children together."

"Yea, are there any more like you around? That would be cool." Chomper said nodding.

"Not that I am aware of" Elm replied.

"A land Turtle that never touch water can easily be around the size Cera is at full size for them and live a life of over 200 years, no one can tell why but they just can" Startor said as a explain to length of life span.

"Still seem strange that some live longer then others" Mr Threehorn still muttered.

"I don't know, it been 65 million years since there was contact, With the eqiutment we only have in technology stardards there no way really to send a messenge to the homeworld." Elm explained to Frank "So we don't know if they alive or not, there no real way to know"

Mr Threehorn thought about this place "I don't know what the half of what your saying but you better not cause any trouble, last time it was them that caused Ducky to get taken by the flyers for some stupid stone that was to believe to be magically all because they said it" Mr Threehorn turn to the two Rainbow Faces.

"We said it may contain magical powers or other wonders, we didn't say it did, not our fault you jumped to conclusions without listening" Female Rainbow Face said back with a cocky reply

"WHAT!? how dare you say such things! Look that was the..." Mr Threehorn trails off then said calmly "I learned from Tria that sometimes it better to listen a bit more about things before coming up with a choice, but I guess I do still tend to jump to conclusions without thinking. Your right we all didn't really listen well at the time" Mr Threehorn hated it but he had to admit that she was right.

"Well you've changed alot since we last met, I gather the children been rubbing on you alot of their wondering views of the world and beyond" she said with a smile

"I gather so" Mr Threehorn turn to Littlefoot and the others.

"Mr Threehorn you've even accepted Chomper to live in the Great Valley after that protested of him being what he is, but look us now we all kind of growned up some sort of way then really in size" Littlefoot said speaking how much they grown inside from experiences.

Chomper nods, "I can remember what it was like when I first returned to the Great Valley." Chomper said.

"Certain things have changed quiet a bit indeed.  Others not as much." Mr. Thicknose said.

"Change isn't to bad sometimes, but some of it is better then others." Cera said thinking how annoying some changes could be.

"Hm I wonder if DIG forces have some technolgy like the ship the US&UK found before this all happened,' frank thought to himself. "If they doI'd love to see the home world,' frank continued to think.
