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

Cera looked annoyed, "Yea, especially grown ups.  If it were not for us kids the water may never have been returned to the great valley since only we went to see what the problem was.   Ducky would never have been rescued. If we waited for the grown ups to stop arguing." Cera said.

"They do argue a lot." Ducky said nodding.  

"We may argue, but at least we get the important things done." Cera said.  Spike nodded.  

"Me no like adults arguing." Petrie said.

"Yea, it does seem a bad idea.  I don't think my mommy or daddy argued.  They did what needed doing if they could." Chomper said.

"I think the grown ups should sit down and let us kids run things for a while.  They may learn how to get things done without constantly arguing.    I bet if I were in danger or was kidnapped daddy would rather argue then save me." Cera said with annoyance & anger on her face then she lightened up and looked at her friends, "but at least I could count on my friends to save me." She said.

'Yes friendship is always good to have,' frank said. "Friends are there to help you when you need them or when you need help,' frank said remembering his friends both living and dead.

"This is your host dj Blaze here taking your song requests,' mitch said over the intercom. "Ah I forgot about this,' frank said. "Forgot about what,' the male rainbow face asked. "Mitch has a raido program here that takes song requests,' frank answered. "We got a request for The US Air Force Blues from Lt Baker well Lt Baker this one's for you,' mitch said as he put the record on.

Petrie flew up to where the sounds seemed to be coming from and hovered in front of it." Him tiny to fit in there." Petrie said looking at the spot where the sound was coming  from."

"Maybe he is small smaller then the tiny long necks." Ducky said.

"He's in a different room that's one thing that humans have done we're able be projects sounds from a place over a intercom system,' frank said. "Well it seems to be a crude speaking device nothing like ours where you can see the person putting the song on or when you need to talk to someone,' the male rainbwface said. frank began to sing along with the song at the second verse "Oh they are men with a dream on America team they're a rugged and ready crew and you can bet your boots the world looks up to US air force blue to US air force blue they know where they're gpoing they set their course the sky's no limit in the air force'.

"Device used to talk far away.  Neat." Petrie said.

"A farspeaker." Cera said, giving the device a name that sounded like it made sense to her.  

"It is neat, it is it is." Ducky said.

Frank began on the final few lines of the song "And gave it to the men who proudly wear the US air force blue and you can wear it too the US air force blue'. "so when was the song written,' the male rainbow face asked. "1957,' frank answered.

As the elevator reached the observetry deck Frank pointed out an aircraft in the hanger out to petrie "That was how I measured how big the great valley was,' frank said pointing to a aircraft with a wide body a a flat nose. "The SU-32 fullback also known as the platapus I fitted it with a range of measurement gear to it to measuere the Great Valley,' frank said.

A Engineer stood by the plane doing some maintance checks then see them "Ah I see you brought our special VIPs to the Hanger old dog" he said with a smirk "Now don't touch anything VIPs and sorry for the mess, we doing some replacements of the plane here since she is a old girl and that without replacing these parts would make this poor old bean fall to pieces" the Engineer said to them.

Littlefoot look over to Frank and whispers "What is a VIP and why is he talking like that?" Littlefoot had to ask really confused what he was saying in some parts.

Petrie flew over closer to the plane without touching it.  "look like big flier, kind of.  How old?" He asked.  

Cera looked at the plane from where she was, "It looks like as big or bigger then the flier that flew us back to the Great Valley from the place where the flying rock landed." Cera said.

"He means the condition of the plane when I bought her in 2009 she had been realy abused by her previous owner,' frank said. "Littlefoot VIP means very important person you guys could be consitered very important people,' frank wispered to littlefoot. "So when is my plane going to be flight ready,' frank asked the mechanic inciding the friendly rivalry between pilots and mechanics that had started in WWI and still continued through the generations.

"abuse, he hit it like Hip likes do." Petrie said.  "It look to big to hit." He said looking the plane over.

"Or shouts like daddy likes to do." Cera said with a sad look on her face, remembering how he liked to shout and sometimes at her.

"Well you can hit it but your knuckles would hurt a lot but the previous owner mainly let it fall into disrepair when I bought the engines were clogged the plane was begining to rust it took a lot of time and effort to restore and it still has some rust on the inner parts of the plane something I didn't know when I measured the Great Valley but found out on landing,' frank said.

"Indeed, this will be flight ready in 2 days once the final replacement parts arrive from the port Frank. Also I heard there is a airstripe that been built over the midlands of this landmass where there is a large land break right around it making it impossible for any dinosaurs on land to go to and no flying dinosaur been through that area also part from one caught looking around the airfield" The mechanic said to him

"I believe the name was Ptereno or something like that, some sort of odd name. Old bean" he goes over to the computer and activate the video link of the air base known as Omega Complex it looked like a large rocky formation with the stripe being a dirt trail "As you see sir this is Omega Complex the most inner one that i just heard and their leader..." the screen changes to a man wearing a uniform with alot of awards attached to his coat. "Ah Mr Johnston I was just about to speak about you to Franks."

"THank you" Johnston spoke then turn to Frank then saw the kids "So that Petrie" he look right at the little flyer "I gather you know this fellow" he moves to the side a bit showing a adult flying sitting down at a table eating on some fresh berries and talking to the guards in his story style form.

Petrie flew closer to the monitor, "Uncle?" He said not sure if it was his uncle or not or if it really could be.  

"It does look like him, it does, it does." Ducky said, who had gotten very good looks at Pterano, rather frightening ones at first.  

"How far is that from here?" Cera asked.

"So that is what Petrie's Uncle Pterano looks like.  Gee, he looks kinda like Petrie." Chomper said.

Cera turned to look at Chomper, What would you expect him to look like, Littlefoot?" Cera said in her mild sarcastic voice.

"Gee, that would be different." Chomper said, not noticing Cera's sarcasm.  

"And it would be very confusing too, it would, it would." Ducky said.
