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

<Maybe some 4 footers can help with carrying a large leaf together.> Littlefoot said.

"Yeah and I'm sure between Petrie, Twiz and me we could carry another leaf" Kit offered. The boys quick to nod in agreement to that.

"That's awesome! then let's go bring some water." - Trod said happily as he began walking in the direction Chomper and Rhamphy came back from.

"Yea, let's go." Littlefoot said before walking with any others to where Chomper and Rhamphy had gone to get water.

Kit Petrie and Twiz quickly followed, scanning the trees for a really good water carrying leaf.

"Ooh, that could work!" Twiz darted over nearer one specific one and examined it.

"Did you find something?" Littlefoot asked looking over where Twiz was.

Ducky continued to pat Chomper's father reassuringly, <Just you rest, they'll be back soon with some water, they will, they will.>

"Yeah" Twiz said as Petrie and Kit followed him to see the leaf he'd found. "Ooh, that a good one" Petrie nodded.

They all three plucked it down and flapped down to where Littlefoot was with it. "We could probably bring back alot of water with this" Kit said.

"<Thank you, Spike.>" Dein said gratefully "<You are a real help.>" he added, before he started drinking water from the leaves. That was indeed something he needed.

<Don't drink to fast.> Ducky said with some concern in her voice.

Petrie, Twiz and Kit quickly flew their own leaf over to a nearby stream and filled it. "Let's hurry and get it to Chomper's dad" Twiz said.

<Good.  Looks like 1 more delivery.  Do you want to drink that when they get here or save it for later?> Littlefoot asks.  

<I am glad you are no longer thirsty, I am, I am.> Ducky said while nodding.

"<I would not be so glad about me not being thirsty if I were you, Ducky, because I am hungry now.>" Papa Sharptooth said grinning widely.

Cory backed up a bit freaked out, "Really, stop making jokes like that, it's not funny" he said.

Petrie, Twiz and Kit landed with the leaf, "Here, we got even more water" Kit announced, "What's not funny Cory?" she asked.

"Ah, never mind" the swimmer brushed of the sharptooth's ill joke.

Ducky made a bit of a face, <Maybe it is best if you'll eat soon for some of us flat teeth to go away a bit since I do not think some of us would like seeing that.>

Littlefoot nods, <yea, some of us are not quite use to seeing that sort of thing.  But I guess we'll have to get use to it sooner or later.> He said.
