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

"Well, I know my dad's quite a big eater," Chomper laughed.  "And by the way, you don't have to thank me for saving your friend. I don't randomly attack and eat an injured flattooth, I think that's unfair."

"Oh right, I've been quite rude, sorry." - Rhamphy grabbed the back of his head with a hand. - "I guess I must thank you for saving me... I wish all sharpteeth would think in the way you do." - the Flyer answered happily.

Trod came closer to his freind. - "That's right, you are a very honorable dinosaur."

"A lot of sharpteeth are," Chomper said, "It's just that flatteeth find that hard to believe."

"I don't think you can blame us for that." - Trod said. - "But I'll be happy to always say I've met Sharpteeth like you."

"Is there any watering hole near? I am kind of thirsty" - Rhamphy asked, looking at the sorrounding dinosaurs.

"Over there," Chomper pointed in a direction when Rhampy asked.

What Trod said intrigued him. "You did? Where?"

Ducky & Littlefoot got their fill of water then looked for some green food to eat.

Rhamphy thanked Chomper and began walking towards the watering place, in the way he found Littlefoot and Ducky - "Hey, do you mind if I join you?".

Trod looked at Chomper and grinned. - "Well, hehehe, I meant that I'll spend my days saying that I got to know you, as a honourable dinosaur. And your friends seem very nice too. I am amazed that Rhamphy went with them so quickly, he is curious but he is cautious with people he doesn't know."

Dein came into Chomper's view.

"<Well...? Do you remember what I said yesterday, son? About teaching me the flattooth? I think now is the good moment to start.>" he said to Chomper.

"<You're right dad,>" Chomper replied. He thought of what to teach first. "<Repeat after me:> Hello...."

"Ellow" Dein tried to repeat esactly what Chomper said and it wasn't so bad for the first time he spoke in flattooth...

Ducky nodded and waved to Rhamphy, "Come on, there is plenty of water here.  Do you need any help?" She asked Rhamphy.

Trod looked at Chomper's father - "<For a f-first try is got... good>" - Trod said in sharptooth, he then looked back at Chomper - "Sorry, my sharptooth language is a bit of rusty, but it is one of the only worthy things I learned from my herd."

Rhamphy looked at Ducky - "I think I'll be fine, thanks." - he may have used the help, but even though they look like very nice dinosaurs, he is still very shy to ask them for more, after all the things they have already done.

"<Betting better,>" Chomper encouraged.  "<Now try:> I am a big sharptooth."

"Ok, but be sure to ask if you need any." Littlefoot said smiling a bit.

Terri stood behind her mate watching him learn flattooth. She found it cute that he was willing to learn.
"You are doing good dear...keep it up, I"m sre you'll get it."

~~~~

Hunter was napping in front of the watering hole when she heard movement. She lifted her head and asked, "Who is there...is that you Chomper? Or one of your freinds?"

Cyrix was glad to see Rhamphy was up and well, he was for the moment walking with Rhamphy, Littlefoot and Ducky walking to the watering hole.
"I do wonder if the land bridge will return?" he asked aloud.

"Land bridge?" - Rhamphy asked curious - "So is that the way you all got stranded into this island?" - the Flyer bega walking in all fours, managing to better keep up the pace of the other dinosaurs there, and he looked back at Littlefoot - "If I need any help, I'll sure to let you know" - he said smiling.

"I think I'll eat some of the leaves left here." - Trod said aloud, sitting down and still watching the huge Sharptooth trying to learn the Flattooth language.

Spike, despite his big appetite, shared some of his leaves with Trod.

"Thank you" - Trod said to Spike, not knowing that the Spiketail does know the sharptooth language, and began eating some of the leaves.
