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... "Help! The sharptooth is chasing us!">" Chomper's dad answered perfectly serious, since on the Island were other predators that didnt promise not to hurt the gang and he knew he and Terri will be the ones responsible for leafeater's protection. If they didnt want Chomper become sad after his friends' death, that is...

Chomper nodded and told his friends what that meant, then said it in sharptooth.

Ducky & Littlefoot practiced the earlier statement till they go it right.   Then hearing Chomper give them a new phrase and they practiced it.  

Ducky went slow and got most of it correct or close, getting better at speaking sharptooth.  The first attempt she got, <Hep! The Sharptooth iis chosing os!> she practice more and got closer to the correct pronunciation till she finally got there.  

Littlefoot spoke slower as Ducky was doing and got much the same for his first attempt getting, <Hllp! Th sharptooth iis chasssng us!> and with further practice got closer and closer till he got it right.

Once again, Spike did good on this statement.

"Wow Spike, you're really good at speaking sharptooth,' Chomper complimated.

Terri had to admit, the little spiketail was getting rather good at speaking sharptooth, and for the leafeaters that could not be an easy thing to do.
<"They learn very fast...I'm impressed."> she said with a smile.

Chomper realized something. "I guess Spike can't talk in your language, but he can talk in sharptooth guys," he deduced in flattooth.

"Maybe, but I did hear him say Ducky once." Littlefoot said.  (ooc: as seen and heard in the 4th movie.

"I heard him, Though I was not fully awake." Ducky said, not wanting to remember much the details of where she was when she heard Spike.  "Maybe it is easier for him to speak Sharptooth then flattooth."

"Wow...you must be really scared then all that time sharpteeth chasing us, if you know what they saying" Petrie realized with a frown.

"Well atleast he'll be able to say that sharpteeth are chasing us to where someone could understand if we can't" Kit said, "then we'd still get help soon".

"Yeah, but I think if Chomper's parents heard something similar they would come check it out anyway" Cory added.

"If we're going to be staying here we should be able to speak with Chomper's parents instead of having to rely on Chomper to do all the translating." Littlefoot said.  

"& it is sorta fun learning another language, it is, it is." Ducky said nodding, liking learning another language.

"<Nah, sharpteeth aren't really that bad>" Spike replied in perfect sharptooth!

Chomper looked impressed. "Ducky, do you know where Spike learned sharptooth so well? Were his parents part sharptooth or something?"

Before this, Chomper told everyone how to say their names in sharptooth.

"<Wait. If... er... Spike always knew how to speak perfect sharptooth, then it means he has understood us all along?>" Dein asked remembering that he called the gang "snacks" earlier that day. At time he found it funny, because he was sure that leafeaters couldnt translate his words, but now it looked like he should choose his words more wisely around the spiketail...

Spike, though he can understand the language, didn't hear the "Snacks" comment because he was focused on food.

"<I don't know every word in sharptooth,>" Spike roared.

Not knowing most of what is being said Littlefoot sits down to rest and Ducky lays down on her back to look at the sky while she rests.

Trod finished eating the leaves that he grabbed and said - "I am surprised those head-knocks doesn't hurt you at all Cyrix. But thank you for the leaves." - he smiled to the Rainbowface and to the other dinosaurs and then it began climbing a nearby tree. He reached the top and began scanning the vecinity, by looking and sniffing in all directions, as he felt the soft breeze of the big water on his face.

"I am a bit tired myself," Chomper yawned. "After everything that happened today."

"Is it getting late?" Littlefoot asked looking to see where the bright circle was in the sky, but not directly at the bright circle.

"Yeah, it's getting late," yawned Chomper.

Cyrix stared up at the tree Trod and smiled.
"Be careful now...but I must ask, what are you looking for my young friend?"

"Yeah, what are you looking for?" Veil repeated.
