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

Dennis came over and helped Frank with the hanger door. He had to admit, for a simple computer tech personnel, it did sound exciting to get to use one of the jets.

"Yeah, flying in skywater's not fun" Kit told the others and Petrie grimaced and shook his head.

"How come you all gots boulders in front of a lot of your stuffs that you have to move?" Cory asked the humans, referring to the doors he'd seen having to be opened, especially this heavy looking one.

"So no one will steal them? That is not nice to steal, it certainly is not." Diver said, not liking the idea.

"True, but some still steal." Mim said.

Chomper: "how, by telling them stealing is bad, have guards, or slapping their hand?" He asked, not able to imagine any other methods.

"My mommy & Daddy said stealing is wrong, she certainly did." Diver said nodding.

"Mine did too." Chomper said.

"I know stealing is wrong, but...I can also understand when it might be needed to do something like that...especially in the Mysterious Beyond." Longtail said with a sigh.

Cyrix patted his nephew on the back and asked, "is something wrong?"

Longtail shook his head.
"No...but I do wonder...if some humans think stealing is okay, what do they steal?" he asked.

"They sure do." Chomper said shaking his head slightly

"Not all of them some people steal cause they don't have enough money to get what they need to survive,' frank said.

Longtail frowned.
"But then...if they don't have enough to survive why don't they just stick together and help each other...like a herd?" he asked.

Cyrix thought about what his nephew had said and nodded his head without saying anything.

After pouring his third cup of coffee Hammond sat down and sighed.
"I didn't think running this place would be so...hectic." he said aloud.

"Maybe they never go the idea to do that, or hate ones who are different like some do." Diver said.

"Like Hyp the bully and his 2 friends." Chomper said.  

"I've heard rumors about them." Mim said, not sure which rumors were true and which ones were not.

Cyrix nodded as well.
"I'd like to meet Hyp and his friends, so I can see how well...they play with others." said Cyrix as he continued to walk.

Longtail however sighed as he answered Mim.
"Yes...most of the rumors about them are true...I remember the time they tied my tail to a rock to see if I could swim...I hate them." he said with spite in his voice.

"They are bullies, but it was funny though when they tried to threaten Mia she then hit Hyp with a big stick and her older brother went down on all fours and asked Nod why don't they wrestle.  They left quickly." Diver said.

Longtail had a scowl across his face as he replied to Frank.
"They tried to drown me! Why wouldn't I hate them?!" he asked in anger.

Frank stood there for a moment. "Well I could probbaly get them to stop picking on you with these,' frank said pointing at on of the jet aircraft in the hanger.
