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

Trod shyly came closer to the treestars and took a few of them, he walked a few steps away and sat down to began eating the leaves while looking at the other dinosaurs, but not really saying a word.

Twiz looked at Cyrix with wide eyes, "Gosh...doesn't that hurt?!" he asked even as he munched a treestar.

"Yep, I guess" Kit admitted, "just like some kinds of dinosaurs are afraid of heights but us flyers find it fun flying really high!" she smiled.

"Just so long as no sky puffies there..." Petrie added.

Cyrix smiled to Twiz as he answered.
"It only hurts when I do it more than three times in a single bright circle day. But...I can do it again...if you want some more green food."

"You're getting it," Chomper instructed, "But still not quite." He repeated the saying, roaring and clicking as slow as possible.

Dein continued to eat longneck when he heard a sound of movement behind him. He just sighed and look back. This was (again) this relentless pach of chirping-biters, who all were observing him with the same pleading look...

"<What you want this time?>" he asked snippy.

"<The same thing we wanted earlier, Big One.>" Sog asnwered and others shouted:

"<Food! Food! Food!>"

"<Is this the only word you are able to say?!>" Dein roared, quite annoyed.

"<No!>" small biters answered in unison and Sog said, trying to be as much polite as he could:

"<So, Big One? Could we have what will be left of this longneck?>"

"<I thought I've gave you a swimmer already? Wasnt that enough?>"

"<But we couldnt get it, Big One! You've forbidden us to go to your nest and you told us we must wait for you outside of it.>"

"<Ah... Yes. I remember. Well... Wait till I finish then.>" Dein said and went back to eating. After a few heart beats, chirping biters came to other side of a longneck's corpse, so they were facing Papa Sharptooth.

"<Thats alright, Big One. Take your time. There is no rush.>" Sog said cheerfully. That angered greatly Dein, since it sounded to him as if this scavanger was doing him a favour. He mustered his self-control though and tried to eat, but he soon lost his appetite as the whole group of chirping biters was still watching him. He rose up.

"<Alright, you can have it now.>" he said.

"<Now?>" Sog asked a bit perplexed "<Are you sure you dont want to eat some more? We can wait and the big sharptooth as yourself...>"

"<Choose your next words carefully, Sog>" Dein interrupted "<They may be your last.>". The little scavanger just gulped and said a bit terrified:

"<Thank you for your generosity, Big One>".

Papa Sharptooth didnt tell anything and walked away, going to place where Chomper and his leafeater friends were...

"<Hi dad, how ya doing?>" asked Chomper. "<Did you see those weird little biters again?>"

Spike attempted a roar, since we saw in V that he could. He actually said "<Hi guys, want to play a game?>" in perfect sharptooth!

"<Dont mention them.>" Dein snarled "<I want to forget for a moment that those most impudent and annoying creature exists.>"

Papa Sharptooth was impressed when he heard Spike's roar.

"<It looks like there is a progress with their language skills.>"

"<Couldn't you just eat them?>" Chomper asked confused.  

"Yeah Spike, that was great!" he said in flattooth

"<I could do that, but they are so small, they would probably come out from the other side unscratched...>" Dein aswered.

"<Dear boy....>" Papa Sharptooth sighed "<After all this time you should know when I am serious and when I am simply joking.>"

"<Perhaps I should. However your grandfather and my dad said to me, when I was a hatchling, that their species has a bitter flavour...>" Dein told to Chomper "<But lets stop talking about them. What are you going to teach your friends next?>"
