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

Veil flew by, "<I saw some other leafeaters nearby,>" the flying sharptooth said.

<Maybe fish, crawlers, buzzers, snapping shells.> Ducky said, saying some of the things that she could think of that sharpteeth could eat.

"<Those sound like good options to me, if meat is not to be found anywhere.>" - Trod said nodding to Ducky's ideas.

Rhamphy climbed a tree - "There are Sweetbubbles in this tree." - He said as he began chewing some of the sweetbubbles he found.

"Can you throw me some of those?... not literally." - Trod asked as Rhamphy gave him some berries for him to eat.

"Yeah, and I can help him find it, if he wants, just incase it's real high" Twiz offered as well.

"Maybe he will find some Buzzer sweet gold (honey) from those Buzzers, who knows? it may be tasty for all kinds of dinosaurs." - Rhamphy said and then he eat another sweetbubble from the tree he is now.

"<That can be... maybe Chomper can figure that out>" - Trod replied and then he translated what his Flyer friend said.

"<On this island we have a river and actually there is many fish there. However catching enough of them for us to fill our stomachs may be a bit tricky and it can take a long time>" Dein said.

Ducky nodded as she looked up at him, "I can see how that would be a problem for some, I can, I can." She said.

"<What about those friends of yours mom and dad?>" Chomper asked.  "<That belly dragger and that sharpbeak? They could help you catch some fish>"

(OOC: GVG, you know who I'm talking about  ;) )

Kit frowned a bit, "Aw gosh Mr. Chomper's dad, I'm sorry us being here is causing such a problem in that you have to watch what you eat with us around" she said.

"I don't think we're exactly the problem" Cory said, "Say, how did you guys get stuck here anyway, I know when Littlefoot was watching Chomper you guys were right in the Mysterious Beyond able to frighten our parents half to death and everything when you came after him".

Twiz translated.

"<They have enough problems with catching enough prey for them. Mind you, that belly dragger does not have a very good sight.>" Dein said to Chomper, then he answered Cory:

"We had to come here. The Great Valley is hard to breach and Mysterious Beyond isn't so full of leafeaters as it was when many herds were traveling to Valley." he said, and after a moment of silence he added: "We could have went farther than Mysterious Beyond, but it would have been a very dangerous and also tiring walk even for an adult and all the more for Chomper."

"<Plus, this island is a fun place,>" Chomper added, "And we usually don't have much competition when it comes to hunting.>"

"Oh" Cory nodded, "well, if it means Chomper's happier then I'm glad you found this place".

"Yeah, and we're happy since we know you can't accidentally nab someone we know from the Mysterious Beyond even" Kit said with a smile. She then frowned, "of course...we can never see them again either until the land bridge come's back" she sighed sadly again.

"It'll come back one day," Chomper tried his best to assure.

Littlefoot nods, "yea, it is bound to.  We just have to wait and keep the look out for when it returns." He said trying to keep everyone's spirits up.

"So what does everyone want to do next?" Chomper asked his friends.
