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

Longtail blinked and turned to Rita and said, "Ya think so? I know for a fact that Doc is too big to fit down that hole."

~~~~~~~~~

Doc had been fortunate enough to find a path that lead to a nearby island. Of course that had been after he'd found that strange hole in the sand, along with several big and small Sharpteeth tracks. That was more than enough reason to find a way to that island...any sharpteeth there were going to have to deal with him now.

"Good point," Rita said, and gave Chomper another hug randomly. "You should lead the way Longtail," Chomper suggested

"Yes Longtail, we have come this far, and I can say we are all eager to continue." - Cayso added, not loosing his determination.

Kai nodded.  
"Yeah.  You and Pearl should take lead.  Tyra and I'll go next... If that's okay with you, beautiful."
He said, wrapping his arms around her...

"It is," Tyra smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "Then me and Rita next!" Chomper smiled. Veli flew on, he'd be beside Longtail. That left Red Claw and Chomper's parents. "Maybe we should be right behind the leaders in case something happens," commeented Red Claw

Longtail gave a weak smile as he said, "You guys really trust me here huh? Well...you have to remember I haven't been here since it burned down and sank into the big water."

Pearls eyes widened as she replied, "Wait...you were here when that happened? Oh...my....you're the legendary survivor!"

Longtail now looked confused as he asked, "The what now?"

"Survivor?" Chomper asked confused, but he was even more surprised by the fact that the island had sunk under the Big Water before!

"That's, interesting..." - Racnar said - "... you just earned a new title, Longtail". Cayso looked with curiosity too, but with not great emotion, he finally replied - "I think our Flyer friend may end up getting his answers in this trip, I just hope it will all turn out fine."

"Yeah, would you like that nickname Longtail?" Chomper asked. If Longtail didn't like it, he wouldn't call him that. He didn't like picking on his freinds

Kai smiled.
"It's pretty darn cool to know someone who's got as cool a title as that, pal!"
He said, happily...

Longtail was giddy about the praise he was getting from his friends, but he still looked shocked as he grabbed Pearl by the shoulders, looked her in the eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Pearl blushed as she looked into Longtails eyes but managed to stutter out "W-well...we have a story here on our island. It tells of a horrible accident that happened with flying rocks...a fire...and finally ending with the whole island sinking into the big water. And the story says that there is only one survivor of the whole thing...and...it seems...you're that survivor."

Longtail took a deep breath, let go of Pearl, stepped back and said, "Well...this adventure just got a lot more complicated." He then shrugged and with a smile stated "Okay everyone...please follow the Legendary Survivor...there are many places we need to visit first."

Doc had finally reached the island and he smiled as he saw several flyers flap to get out of his way. "It looks like they know who I am...or at least why I'm here...which will make this job a lot easier for me!

"Of course!" Chomper smiled. "We're always up for adventures, right guys?" he asked his friends. "As long as their with you," Rita said, giving the little sharptooth a hug. Chomper blushed again.

Meanwhile, a slight smell came to Tyra's snifer. She sniffed it for a ew seconds. "Couldn't...be.." she muttered, but then the smell went away

"That's right!, we are ready indeed." - Cayso replied, following Chomper's mood. But Racnar looked at Longtail with a serious look -"Something is not right."- he thought, but then he gave a big breath and looked to the others, waiting for the others to continue the adventure.

Kai's nose twitched, and he let a sharp hiss of breath escape from clenched teeth.
"He's here..."
He whispered, then put a smile on his face.
"Time to go adventuring!"
He exclaimed happily, starting to hum a little to himself...

"Yes, let's said Tyra nervously. She was happy to be on an adventure, but she knew HE was back. She held onto Kai tightly. "Let's go eh?"

Redclaw sniffed the air. "Doc......" he muttered angrily

Racnar sighed and said in a low voice - "too many complications..." - to that his brother replied - "don't worry, for everything there is a solution. So we should keep on going."

Longtail sniffed the air and sighed. He smelled Doc, but it was faint...almost not even recognizable. He then began walking away from the beach with Pearl and the others following. As Longtail walked his eyes began to dart around, looking at every rock, tree and leaf he could see. As he did though his mind took him back to his childhood and in that brief moment Longtail could see his home in its former glory. Flyers hunting, playing, talking, and enjoying life, but as he blinked the world changed, and his visions faded away. Longtail then shed a tear.

Pearl noticed the sad look in his eyes and wanted to say something, but didn't want to startle him, so she turned to the others and asked at a whisper "What do we do now?"

Kai said nothing, but slowly walked up close to Longtail, lowering his head and saying quietly to Longtail...
"Lots of memories for you here, huh?"
He said reassuringly...

Longtail shed another tear at Kai's words, but then just as quickly Longtails body stiffened and he quickly sniffed the air, and after several seconds he all but shouted "Everyone get into the bushes NOW! I smell Doc, and he's closer than I thought he would be! Everyone hide!"

However at that moment Doc was indeed not that far away from the group, and he turned his head as he thought to himself, "I thought I heard something over there...better go check it out." He then turned and began to walk towards the group of sharpteeth.

"Come on!" Tyra whispered,  grabbing Kai and jumping into some bushes. Chomper and Rita did the same thing, holding each other close

Redclaw saw a large amount of trees close together. "We can hide ther," he said to Chomper's parents, since they were bigger sharpteeth.
