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

Littlefoot nods, <Yea, maybe someday.  But at least we are together here.> Littlefoot said attempting to keep everyone happy.

Terri had just returned from showing Cyrix and Hunter the way to the warm water pools and for a moment she was stunned to see the little fastbiter from the opposing herd on the island was in plain sight and talking to not only Chomper but the other children as well. She smiled brightly as she leaned over and asked, "Hello little ones. Making a new friend Chomper? And from the rival herd no less...I'm proud of you." She then nuzzled Chomper affectionately.

Cyrix had been waiting for several moments before Hunter was done cleaning. He then smiled and asked, "So you all clean now?"

Hunter laughed and replied, "Sure...if that's what you believe." She then laughed again and sank up to her neck in the water.

Apto was strained by Chomper's Mom arriwal. He half-expected that she will chase him away, as he was on her territory. Luckily it seemed that she wasnt bothered by his presence here. He was glad he could stay.

"<Hello Mrs. Terri>" Apto greeted with Chomper's Mom.

Terri grinned again as Apto greeted her.
<"Hello little one. I am glad to see you're unhurt, but won't your mother be a little upset when she finds you missing?"> she asked.

"<I am supposed to be back before the Bright Circle goes down>" Apto answered, not mentioning that his mom didn't know that he had went to other half of the island.

Terri smiled.
<"Alright then, have fun little ones. I'll be back by the warm water if you need me."> she said as she turned around and began to walk back the way she'd come.

<Sounds like that can be fun, it does, it does.> Ducky said nodding.

<Are you thirsty or anything?> Littlefoot asked.

"<Yes, we should have some fun since we are all here!>" - Trod said happily - "<It is nice to have you with us... what was your name?>" - The Runner asked.

OOC: It seems that Apto hasn't presented himself by name, that's why I made Trod to ask that.

"<Well... Why not? And my name is Apto>" fastbiter answered.

"<It is nice of you to say that>" Apto said, then he turned to Chomper "<So what we are going to play?>"

"<The second I think. As long as I am not the Hunter. I could take my role too seriously, if you know what I mean>" Apto joked grinning and pointing at one of his teeth.

<Sounds like an interesting game.  Is it like hide and go seek? Does everyone know how to play that?> Ducky asked looking at those present.

<Who wants to explain the rules of the game & how to play it.  Just to be sure everyone knows?> Littlefoot asked looking around.

Trod was ashamed to speak, but he gathered some courage and asked Littlefoot - "<It would be nice if I can be explained about those rules, I-I was never fond of my Herd so I never did learn most of the games.>"

""<The gameplay is simple,>" Chomper began to explain. "<You guys go hide, and the hunter has to find you.>"

"<It sounds interesting, it is always nice to do something new>" - Trod said, but he still couldn't stop feeling embarrased for not knowing.
