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

The Land Before Time: Sharpteeth Adventures

"We are ready too." - Cayso said and Racnar added. - "The sooner we enter the tunnel the better."

Longtail smiled as he said, "Good, then let's go. The longer I stand here..the less i wanna go." He held Pearls hand loosely and stepped/slid into the hole with Pearl who had a small blush on her face.

________

Doc gave a cold smile as he replied, "Yeah as a matter of fact, I have recently killed two other sharpteeth just a few bright circles ago...it was satisfying, and to make it even better they were wounded and couldn't even fight back! Just the way I like it...a stupid, weak sharptooth with no means of protection...it's was the greatest feeling in the world to snuff the life out of them one at a time."

He then asked the spiketail "So, where ya headed?"

Veli soon flew down, following them. "Let's go Chomper," Rita smiled, and the two rexes took the plunge. "Coming mom and dad?" Chomper asked before he slid down. Redclaw decided to wait for everyone else to go down becuase he was big.


"Nowhere special, just taking a walk."  the spiketail replied.  Suddenly a scent came to his sniffer. "Do you smell tha? Sharpteeth........about 12 of em too!"

(OK, I'll tempoarily control Chomper's parents until you come back. We'll say that Cayso and racnar just do te same thing as everyone else.)

"We're ready son," Chomper's mother smiled, watching her son and rita take th plunge. "We haven't done stuff like this since we were kids, eh?" Papa S. commented. "That's right. Here we go!" the parents said, jumping down

Cayso and Racnar jumped down the tunnel too, Cayso with a grin on his face because of the adventure they are now having, while Racnar keeps a more serious look, hoping that Doc will not find a way to follow them.

(Whoops, I meant Kai.)

"Whee!" Rita cheered. For her and Chomper, this was awesome!

(I'll be back over the Thanksgiving Holiday, at least!  Yay!)
Kai grinned like a maniac as he slid down the tunnel, hand-in-hand with Tyra.
"Dang!  This is pretty cool!"
He exclaimed giddily, his tail twitching...

"I haven't had this much fun in many cold times!" cheered Tyra. The two sharpteeth hit a slanted rock which sent them in mid-air for a second, but then they kept slidin down.

"Get outta the wall!" Redclaw called, soon followed by Chomper's folks. "Controlled by Starfallraptor.) It probably would've been a better to have the big sharpteeth go first, but oh well

Kai looked back over his shoulder, then grinned as he saw Redclaw and Chomper's parents sliding towards himself and Tyra.
"Hey Tyra?  You might wanna hold on tight!"
He said, as he pushed off the ground with one leg, spinning he and Tyra up onto the top of the pipe, where he dug his claws in, letting Redclaw and the others slide cleanly past.

Chomper's mother smiled at her mate.
"Doesn't this remind you of when we were younger, my love?"
She asked, her eyes shining with joy and merriment...

"That was incredible!" Tyra laughed as she and Kai began sliding again. "You're simply amazing Kai, you're brave, tough, clever, resourceful, and cool!"  

Redclaw looked back at Kai "You did that just in time kid!" he said. Veli managed to get out of the way. Chomper and Rita managed to dodge, and they jumped onto Chomper's mom back. "We need to do this more often," chuckled Rita.

Longtail and Pearl both noticed Chompers folks and Red Claw sliding down, but as Longtail was about to jump clear Pearl grabbed him around his neck and pulled him down to the ground by mistake. However Longtail knew just what to do, and with Pearl still holding on Longtail rolled onto his back and spun in a circle several times as the three bigger sharpteeth slid over the two flyers.

"Wow..that was close." said Longtail once he was sure it was safe to stand up again.

Pearl was still shaken, but when Longtail looked down at her still holding on to him, and he smiled at her she forgot about her fear and slowly let him go.

"S-sorry." She muttered

Longtail's reply was to smile even bigger and say "Its okay. Now let's keep moving."

~~~~~~~~~

Doc looked at the Spiketail as if he were crazy and then replied "Now you know we longnecks aren't meant to use our noses like you do. But I'll take a look of course." He then raised his head and peered over to where the Spiketail was looking and noticed two black shapes disappear into the ground. Doc immediately frowned and said, "If you'll excuse me...I have to go check on something."

"See you at the bottom," Redclaw waved. Veli was ahead of everybody, since he was flying close to the ground."Ha! I'm gonna beat you!" he taunted. But then it happened. A slightly angled rock made Redclaw go faster and a bit into the air. He landed....on Veli. For a few seconds, Redclaw's bum slid over Veli, but Veli was quickly free again. "Don't sasy anything," he called to his friends, knowing what their reaction would be

Longtail couldn't help but snicker at Veil's situation. He then said, "I've got nothing to talk about. Lets just keep going."

Cayso and Racnar kept on sliding, and as they saw the bigger sharpteeth coming down fast towards them, they looked to each other with a grin. They prepared as they saw them coming and they began steering using their feet and tails and easily dodged the Sharpteeth.

"Here it comes!" Recclaw called to everyone. "Hang on Rita!" Chomper called, and they both held onto Chomper's mother's back tight. The end of the tunnel was here now

Pearl was still holding on to Longtail, both for her saftey and becuase she wasn't sure she could find the way out herself. With them being the smallest and the lightest they were moving faster than the others, and the two flyers came through the end of the tunnel and into the sunlight of another beach.

Both Longtail and Pearl knew to move out of the way to let the others pass by as htey came out as well. As Pearl smiled Longtail said, "Uhh Pearl...you can let go now."

Pearl blushed and hesitated for a moment before quickly letting go of Longtail.

Longtail's body stiffened as he saw a shadow in the distance. He squinted his eyes to try and see what it was, but it was already gone. He sighed knowing whatever it is...was going to bring trouble.

Chomper looked at Longtail. "Maybe you should seal that tunnel off again," Rita suggested. "So Doc can't follow us." Tyra shivered at the mentioning of thta name
