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

All this commotion was enough to wake the gang up. "<What was that?>" Spike asked in sharptooth as they came up.

"Something wild maybe." Ducky said, slipping into flattooth language.

<Maybe we should take a look.> Littlefoot said as he got up and stood up.

Terri was stunned to see the other children being woken up so late. She crouched down and said to Chomper, "Perhaps you should tell your friends what has happened. I'll take Trod and Twiz back to the pond and watch over Rhamphy."

Cyrix tried to climb free of the hole...only to sigh and clear his throat to get everyones attention.
"It would seem...I'm stuck...can I get some help here please?"

<What is going on?> Ducky asked Chomper in sharptooth, and yawning a bit during her dialog.

<yea> Littlefoot paused to yawn, <What is going on?>

"Heh heh, I'll help you," Chomper smiled to Cyrix. Just because he managed to avoid being hunted down by his folks, doesn't mean he didn't have bad luck.  Chomper pulled, and eventually Cyrix was free.

Chomper then explained what just happened to his friends.

Twiz had been standing there, head tilted, looking at these others kids for some time (otherwise he would have heard and helped help Cyrix out too) and now he suddenly gave a happy cry and darted down to hug Kit as he recoqnized his cousin.

"Uh, I think most of you guys met my cousin from my mom's side, Twiz, who snuck in a few times" Kit told the others, trying to remember if everyone of Littlefoot and his other friends had met Twiz.

Petrie had just been putting that together, "Oh, yeah" he nodded, "How you doing?" he asked Twiz. Cory nodded as well.

"Fine" Twiz said absently with a laugh before turning back to Kit,

<"Kit, what are you guys all doing here?"> he asked happily, in sharptooth before realizing it, "Uh, I mean". Kit laughed, stepping back, <"No, it-s fine" she said, <"Chomper-s been teaching us"> she said even as she stood back to look at Twiz, shocked as well. <"And me?!"> she asked, <"What you are doing here?!"> she asked with a laugh, having to pause at some of the consonants and mixing a few words, but otherwise doing pretty good considering just before bed she'd learned it all.

Twiz laughed, <"That's a long story">. Twiz next frowned though as he remembered the situation, <"Oh I am glad to see you"> he told Kit, <"All of you, but right now Rhampy's hurt and we should probably get him help">

Having heard the story from Chomper, Kit nodded, "Right" she said in flattooth, "but what could we do?".

<My mommy & Daddy,>Ducky paused, knowing she'd likely never see her again or the rest of her family, then made her self continue <put leaves on hurts.> Ducky said.

<& he may need some water and food when he wakes up.> Littlefoot said.

"I'll get the water, you guys get the leaves," Chomper said in leafeater.

"Thank you very much everybody for your help. Maybe I should stay with Rhamphy, so if he awakes at least he'll see a familiar face." - Trod said as he lowered his head in sign of humbleness.

Rhamphy was still unconscious, but it was notorious he was having an uneasy sleep.

Ducky ran off with Littlefoot to look for some leaves to put on his wounds and some to eat if he looked like a leafeater type of flyer.

Chomper put Rhamphy gently down on a tree stump. "Is he going to be ok?" Chomper asked in flattoth.

"I hope so, he is stronger than he looks, he should be fine." - Trod said trying to reassure Chomper. - "Don't worry, I'll stay here with him. And, someday, I'll make sure to return you the favor."

Ducky and Littlefoot were picking some leaves and putting them on Littlefoot's back since he could carry more then Ducky herself could.

Trod was very amazed to see the dinosaurs running to help his friend, and he couldn't hide the smile because of that. He sat down and patted Rhamphy. - "You'll be fine, you'll see."

Ducky returned riding on Littlefoot.  She was holding down the leaves to keep them from blowing away.  

<I thought it best to get some extras, in case some were blown away or if he or anyone was hungry.> Ducky said in sharptooth.

"Yea, extras are handy.  Is anyone hungry?" Littlefoot asked, "There is extra here." he said, stopping near where Rhampy was.  Ducky grabbed some leaves and slid off of Littlefoot and went over to where the unconscious flyer was and started to tear some leaves in half so they'd fit better before she started to put some on his wounds as carefully as she could.

"Come on, plente of leaves to help or for a snack." Littlefoot said in flattooth.  <Can someone with hands put some down near him or on some of his wounds?> Littlefoot said in sharptooth.

"Normally I wouldn't waste an opportunity to eat something, but this time I'm not really hungry." - the Runner said to Littlefoot and Ducky, not really knowing them - "Ohh, I didn't want to be rude, my name is Trod, nice to meet you and again, thanks for your help."

"I'm Littlefoot and this is Ducky here." Littlefoot said, then went on to introduce any of his other friends who may be present.  Ducky worked on making sure she had all of the injured flyer's wounds covered in leaves.

Dein woke up as he heard some commotion nearby. He stood up and walked towards the place the voices were coming from...

"<Oh hey dad,>" Chomper called.  He explained the situation to his father.
