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

"We should get going now,' frank said. "Right we should,' muldoon said. The two got into a jeep with their guns.

Peter laughed, "I'm guessing that's where you guys want to go next then?".

"No" Petrie shook his head. "Sure!" Kit and some of the others said.

"It could be fun." Diver said.  "What do the rest of you think?" She asked looking around a the others present.

Grandpa Longneck nodded and replied, "Why yes, an open field sounds like wonderful."

Longtail gave a sly smile as he said, "Oh you can bet I'm up for the haunted trip!" he then turned to Petrie and said, "Come on, don't you want to be brave like your uncle Pterano?"

Cyrix had to agree with Littlefoots grandparents, "I too would prefer the quiet open field if that's okay."

"It sounds like we'll have to go in either 2 groups, or take turns going to each place." Mim said.

"Well I'm a mature adult who should be beyond such kiddie stuff as haunted buildings and what not so I'll take the others to the field" Henry offered.

Tylr and Petrie's mom were of course still with the adults and at Longtail's try, Petrie's mom had to sigh, "Actually all that talk is just...".

"Shh!" Tylr cut in, "He's making a point" he grinned, "nevermind if half the stories in reference are fake, and I'm all for this quiet field as well" he told Henry.

Petrie frowned a bit more at what Longtail said, "Well...yeah...but that always sound better when me saying it and not when it here".

"But just think Petrie, he could be here too and then you'd get to tell him all about it" Kit tried to back up Longtail's try.

The little flyer sighed, "O-ok, but we leave out any screaming me might do, K?" he asked Longtail and Kit.

"It's a deal" Kit grinned.

"Ok, come on we can use the other jeep" Peter said, leading the way over.

"So are we going in 1 group or 2?" Chomper asked looking at some various folks present.

Cyrix chuckled at Chompers question.
"Well it seems to me that we need to break into two groups if we all want to see what we would like. Isn't that right Mim?"

Longtail sighed.
"Can we just go please?"

"Do you mind if I start singing,' frank asked muldoon. "Not I don't,' muldoon replied. Frank started singing a song called Blood on the Risers made popular by the US Army Airborne. "He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright, he checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight, he had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar, you ain't gonna jump no more,' Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die. Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' Muldoon Joined in on the song. "Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up,our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up, he jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked, and he ain't gonna jump no more, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock, he felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop, the silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
and he ain't gonna jump no more,Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome, suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones. the canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground, and he ain't gonna jump nomore, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' The two were singing so loud on the loud speaker on the jeep that it could be heard faintly at a distance.

Peter laughed, "Ok, yeah sure, all hatchling seeing the haunted places except those pulling out, follow me and everyone taking the boring plains walk is with my Uncle Henry".

"Ya coming?" Kit asked Petrie with a smile as she started to follow Peter. The little hatchling sighed, "Oh...yeah me coming" he followed.

Mim nods, "That does seem like the best solution, 2 groups." She said.

Frank and muldoon continued singing "The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind,he thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind, he thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find, and he ain't gonna jump no more,Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
the medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled, for it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed, and he ain't gonna jump no more.Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high, his comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die." He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore, and he ain't gonna jump no more. Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute, intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots, and he ain't gonna jump no more. Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory, gory, what a heck of way to die, Gory,gory, what a heck of way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more.' "I take it you heard that from the 101st airborne,' muldoon asked. 'Yep I heard it while we were jumping during Operation Market Garden,' frank said. 'I though you were a fighter pilot,' muldoon said. "I went with them because I was doing a mission for the OSS,' frank replied.

Longtail suddenly had a question.
"Uhhh..even if we split into two groups...how are we going to get there? I doubt those fast moving j-eep things can carry Littlefoots grandparents." He then looked up to the two elderly longnecks. "Uhhh no offense." he commented with a smile.

Grandpa Longneck nodded as he replied "None taken little one. But he is right, exactly how far is the open field you mentioned?"

As frank was driving muldoon looked over the bushes on the left and saw the rex. "There he is,' muldoon said. "I see him hold on,' frank said making a sharp left turn with muldoon looking down the scope and aiming the gun.

"maybe since they can not fit in the jeeps, maybe instead they can carry the humans, if they do not mind." Diver said.  

"It may work.  What do you folks think?" Mim said looking up at LIttlefoot's Grandparents.

Grandpa Longneck thought about Diver's suggestion. After a few moments both he and his mate smiled and nodded their heads. "Why of  course! We'd be happy to help. Just so long as you humans lead the way that is." commented the elderly longneck with a cheerful smile.
