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've seen his eyes change color, but that's it," Veil said.

"Can other dinos change their colors mom? "Greg asked Ichy and Dil.

"To be able to change the colors... nature gave you is something unique I think." - Racnar commented about Longtail's ability.

"Like Veil, I have seen longtail changing the colors of his eyes before, but never a full body change." - Cayso said.

Both Ichy and Dil exchanged glances for a moment before turning to face Greg again.

"Uhhh...I don't know." stated Ichy speaking honestly.

"I guess...I mean, I've never seen it done before." said Dil with a frown.

Longtail smiled at his brother as he said, "I've only got one other color change that no one has seen yet."

Longtail couldn't help but grin.

He looked back at his mother with a smile.
"This should make you proud mom." he said.
Longtail then closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then shook his body as if he were cold, and as he did his scales changed from sky blue, to as white as the ground sparkles.
"Any other questions?" he said with a broad grin.

Soul couldn't help but be impressed. With his scales this color he looked like she did at his age.

Longtail's father sighed.
"Meh...I've seen better."

His sisters couldn't help but coo.
"Aww...he looks just like mom."
"Yeah, it's kinda cute."

Dil was shocked indeed. "My what a...unique change."

Ichy grinned.
"Well...that's a change in deed. Must come in handy during a frozen water storm."

"It was indeed a very nice change Longtail, but that doesn't make you feel tired or anything?" - Cayso asked, as amazed as the other dinosaurs.

"And what abilities... that change can give you?" - Racnar asked - "the darker one... allows you to fight at your maximum but, what about this... new change?"

Cayso then stood up and knelt next to his brother, placing and arm around his brother's shoulder - "Remember don't overdo yourself Racnar".

Longtail suddenly had a thoughtful look on his face as he thought about what Racnar's question.
"Actually right now...this change...makes me feel, at peace with everything. I feel no anger, no hatred, no bad feelings at all. Go ahead try to make me angry." he said aloud.

His brother then replied, "Oh can I try?!"

Soul simply tapped him on the shoulder and said,
"No. You may not...don't annoy your little brother."

Dante limped into view.
"Hey...So you finally got the complete form down, huh?  Nice.  My turn to give it a try..."
He said, smiling as he jumped back, his scales flaring, then turning a dark crimson, with flames shimmering around his legs, and forming wings at his back...

"Wow..." Rita said amazed.

"Too bad we can't change color," Greg commented.

But something was bothering Chomper.....didn't Longtail tell him that he was the only egg from the ones that his parents laid that survived?

Twiz just shook his head, "I'd say I've seen everything, but I'm afraid he'll do something else!" the kid said. Misty laughed, "Don't worry Twiz, Longtail can only have so many surprised up his wings...I think".

"I've seen Dante's transformation before, back on the island, but I cannot feel less amazed." - Cayso said after seeing Dante.

"Longtail's new transformation... looks as peaceful as he says it makes him feel." - Racnar added.

Longtail turned and almost immediately was at Dantes side with his wings wrapped around Dante's neck in a bear hug. He then said aloud, "Dante...I thought you were dead....again." He then bopped his adoptive brother on the head.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!"

Soul could only laugh at her son's elated show of emotion at Dantes arrival.

Cayso nodded to what Redclaw said, he then smiled in an almost nostalgic way as he saw Longtail hugging Dante. To that, Racnar tells his brother - "It seems you also have a couple of people you would hug that way."

"Besides you, yes, there is a couple more." - Cayso replies as he nods his head in an affirmative way.

"Only, he already said he's in like a really good mood,so I don't even know if it's normal" Twiz commented to what the other sharpteeth said about Longtail's behavior.

Dante smiled, hugging Longtail back.
"Whatd'ya that you thought I was dead? You should know that it'll take more than just some smoking mountain to get rid of me..."
He said, but nevertheless just playfully rubbed Longtail's head, grinning...

After hearing his explanation Longtail let go of Dante's neck and as he turned around to face his mother. But then he noticed the confused look Chomper had on his face.
"Is everything alright Chomper? You look confused about something."

Soul stepped over to Dante and asked, "Are you sure you should be changing forms like that when I can see you're still tired from you little stunt back there?"

"Someone told me....that one of your parents said all your siblings were dead," Chomper explained.

Soul smiled as she stepped over to Chomper and said, "Yes, they were, and so was I. However thanks to Longtail's wish on his home island he brought all of us back to life."

Longtail groaned.
"Same story, same ending." he said with a bored tone.
