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

Spike ate a few more, of course.   :DD

"I'm Veli, that's Twiz, and this is Cyrix," Veli replied to Trod in both langauges

"Sp-ike" Cory half laughed, taking one or two of the berries and eating them, "don't eat 'em all before we get to them" he said (once able to speak again).

Twiz waved, "Hi, how are you?" he said, moving past his nervousness.

"I'd like one." Littlefoot said and took one of the ones Ducky was offering and ate it.  "mmm, these are tasty.  And they only grow up at the top of the trees?" Littlefoot asked.

Trod gave another look to the dinosaurs that were speaking to him - "maybe they mean no harm" - he thought and relaxed himself as he said. - "I apologize, I haven't talked with many dinosaurs in some time, and I am... kind of stranded here."

"Well, get used to it," Veli smiled. "If you live here, you'[re stranded, but there's plently of food here."

"That is not on my plans." - Trod said to Veli - "I came here looking for someone, and that dinosaur is not here... stupid false leads!... the only thing I don't need is to be trapped in here." - the kid sat down near the water and sighed as he placed both hands on his head in disbelief.

Cyrix stepped over to Trod and patted him on the back.
"Don't worry so much, just try to relax and gather your wits for a few bright circles. I'm sure an idea will come, and if there is anyway I can help out I can assure you I will."
He then clapped his hands and asked, "Who's hungry?"

"I am!" Veli replied.  "Don't worry, I won't eat you guys."

"<So mom, dad, do you think I'm a good teacher?>" asked Chomper.

"Hehe, well that's good" Twiz said with a smile, "and I am kinda hungry...but um...well are there any treestars around here?" he asked, "I...could really go for those, I haven't found any in like forever! Yeah, that might sound weird" he admitted, "but I'm half flattooth so..." he shrugged.

~~~~

"Yeah, I don't think normally from what I've seen" Kit admitted, "but they were just sitting up there all piled on a leaf like someone put..." she paused as she realized what she was saying and frowned. That was an odd mystery she guessed as to why they were there...

The berries seemed fine though, so she shrugged off any reason to look into it.

"Well anyway the tops of trees do have some food that isn't found down here." Littlefoot said.


"And under water that is safe to drink also." Ducky said, meaning some green food she had eaten underwater in the Great Valley.

Spike nodded, he had eaten the underwater green food before as well.

"Yeah, as long as it's not that yucky big water" Cory said, remembering how bad that had tasted.

Ducky nodded, "yes not even Spike liked how that water tasted.  It is icky." Ducky said.

"For us yes, but for those who live in it I guess it's ok for them." Littlefoot said, trying to see things from the point of view of those who live in the water.

Cyrix chuckled at Veil's humor.
"I know you won't Veil." He then turned to Twiz and smiled as he answered the flyers question. "Of course there are tree stars and treesweets here...you just have to know where to look, and it just so happens that I do know where both grow on this island...if you'd like me to show you that is." he said with a sly smile.

Terri smiled widely at Chomper and said in response: <"Yes my son...you are a wonderful teacher...and you should be very proud of yourself...I know I am."> She then nuzzled her son in gratification.

"<Thanks mom," Chomper smiled. "That reminds me, I should get back to the lesson.<"

Troz looked at Cyrix and he couldn't avoid smiling. - "Well, some of the leaves here have a very strange flavour, so I'd like some treesweets too." - the kid stood up again and remained near Cyrix, as the Grown-up is from a very similar kind of dinosaur.

"I'll get you some," Veli smiled. "I may not like them personally, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't help out a friend."

"Wow, thanks." - Trod replied with some amazement, the others may see that the kid is not very used to this kind of cooperation between dinosaurs of different kinds.

Cyrix smiled at Veil and said, "Oh don't worry, I can get plenty down without wasting too much effort." He stepped over to a tree and banged his head against it, making many treestars fall from it. "See...easy." he said with a smirk.

Veil began digging into a clawful of crawlers. "Mmm....the perfect snack," he grinned satisfied.
