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

"It looks like we are here together at least, or nearby, it does, it does." Ducky said.

"If we are together, we have more chances to survive. Safety in numbers." - Rhamphy happily said.

"I am a beeg sharptooth" Dein repeated, saying the sentence almost perfectly, but one could notice that when Papa Sharptooth was talking in flattooth, his voice was whistling audibly. It gave Dein's voice a ghastly effect. Perhaps the reason for it was the difficulty in speaking in other language for a first time, but anyway it sounded creepy...

"<That was a great attempt dad!>" Chomper said. "<You'll learn flattooth soon enough.>"

"Oh yes, yes, yes.  That is true." Ducky said nodding in agreement.

"And someone may notice or think of something the others would not." Littlefoot said.

Trod looked at Dein and thought - "His voice is really scary". - He shook his head and kept on eating the leaves that were still on his hand.

"I think you are right..." - The Flyer said to Littlefoot. - "and I also think that we arrived." - Rhamphy said as he could smell the water... and someone else in there. - "By any chance any of you know the one who is also here?" - he asked to the other dinosaurs about Hunter's presence there.

(as soon as Littlefoot and others learned sharptooth? :p)


"Tat's good" Dein said with a grin "<Now I will be able to order prey to stop, while chasing it.>" he added in sharptooth.

Trod replied - "<I think preys will stop when they'll listen to you speaking their language>". - the kid smiled kind of evilly, but then he coughed a bit while laughing - "Sharptooth is a robust language... but maybe too robust for my throat."

"Speeeking of which. I think it is right time to get us some dinnner" Dein said. "Talking in flattooth have one more advantage. I can make our little, leafeater friends a bit anxious" he thought, laughing mentally.

Cyrix smiled.
"I know who that is...she is a friend of mine. hello Hunter...nice to see you this morning." he called out as he stepped into her view.

Hunter then smiled as well. "Nice to see you too Cyrix. I see you are still watching over the younglings. I'm proud of you."

Cyrix stops by the water and sits down.
"I wouldn't be much of an elder if I just let them wander off now would I?" he asked with a smirk.

He then turned to Rhamphy and asked, "Feel free to drink as much as you need.

Terri laughed.
<"Don't worry Trod, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Just pratice a little.">
She then looked at her mate and son for a moment. <"I feel like swimmer...but those are too hard to catch...are there any spiketails on the island...other than your friends Chomper?"> she asked.

Ducky went over to pat Trod.  "Maybe you need to rest and practice a bit later on." She said hoping Trod felt better.

"Yeah, you don't want to over do it" Cory added to what Ducky said.

Kit frowned as Chomper's dad said the part about hunting where they could hear. "He did that on purpose and it wasn't nice" she said. Twiz laughed, "Yeah, I think he did, I've noticed Chomper's dad seems to have an odd sense of humor about him" he smiled.

"Well he need to stop doing it" Petrie said, and Kit agreed with a nod.

Dein sniffed intensely, but he couldn't catch the scent of any spiketail besides Spike.

"<There are no other spiketails or they are to far away to sniff them. And for the swimmers... I smell... I smell... I smell... hmm... only Ducky and Cory I am afraid>" he said "<Perhaps we should venture farther away>" he added.

"<Oki, but's let's stay together,>" Chomper agreed. Farther into the isalnd, the scent of other prey was now smellable.

After traveling some distance away, Dein could sniff a small herd of swimmers.

"<There our dinner is. Lets come closer>" he said to his family.
