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 laughed at being splashed.  He used his tail to splash Chomper.  "I'm glad you can join us." He said.

Dein looked after leaving Chomper. He smiled. His son was so full of life and he was very attached to his friends and his family. Papa Sharptooth just hoped that this attachment will not cause a little sharptooth much pain. Dein did not say this out loud, but this whole attack of pain was much more strong than the previous one and the herb had not brought him back to counsciousness as swiftly as earlier. He had the feeling that the attacks will become only worse and after one of these he might not wake up at all...

"Littlefoot is right, it is nice to have here Chomper." - Trod said as he began splashing Chomper, Littlefoot and Ducky.

Rhamphy landed near the water, he looked back to the other Flyers - "Will you enter the water too?"

"Uh, me no know...Petrie been in the water sure" the little flyer began, "but...swimming still not...".

Kit giggled, "Aw come on Petrie" she began to pull her cousin, "nothing ever happens in safe little watering holes and such, stop worrying".

"Well I for one am going in" Twiz said, from the ground running and jumping in with a laugh.

((Yeah I know, in one thread we can't get him in the water...:DD Twiz' moods are very conditional at times :lol))

"The more that come into the water the more that can have fun, yep, yep, yep."Ducky said.  She looked at Petrie.  "You do not need to enter the water. You can rest on the bank, you can." She said.

"Yea." Littlefoot said agreeing with what Ducky had said.

"I've been practicing my swimming," Chomper smiled.

"That is good, it is, it is." Ducky said happily, splashing the ones she was playing with once again.

"But I do hate getting water up my sniffer," Chomper commented.

"Yea, that can be annoying.  Maybe you can not get into water any deeper then your belly or chest." Littlefoot said.

"Don't worry Chomper, there is nothing that practice cannot fix." - Rhamphy said as he began swimming slowly.

"Yes, do as Littlefoot says before you go into deeper waters." - Trod added, he later took a deep breathe and began dicing for a little bit.

Terri was standing next to Dein not willing to say a word..she was far too worried about her mate, and couldn't stand the thought of losing him. She shed a few tears as she nuzzled him silently and gave a small growl.

Cyrix sighed as he watched the children play in the water...it reminded him of a simpler time when he was a hatchling himself.

"I hope my dad gets better," Chomper commented, stopping splashing for a moment.

Dein looked at Terri and returned the nuzzle. He saw her tears and decided that he has to do something that will lift up her spirits. Even if he wasn't going to get better, he did not want his mate to be sorrowful while they still had much time to spend together.

"<Why you are so sad? Did someone died when I was unconscious?>" he asked jokingly.

"He'll get better, just like my grandpa did when he got sick and We went to the place where the night flowers grew and he felt better after he ate some and rested a bit." Littlefoot said.

"Could we find some of those nightflowers?" Chomper asked.

"sure, they grow in what Ali called the Valley of mists, but Old one called it the land of mists." Littlefoot said.

"Valley of the Mists?, I never heard of that place before" - Trod said, totally stopping from swimming.

"That name sounds mysterious. We should go there." - Rhamphy added.

"If in that place there is a plant that can help Chomper's father, then we must find a way to go there." - Trod commented as he nodded.

"I am sure that it can, but it only blooms at night.  A very beautiful golden flower." Ducky said remembering how it beautiful it looked.

Trod heard what Ducky said and replied in awe. - "To see that must be awesome!."

"It would be indeed. But we need the land bridge to reappear if we all want to go there." - Rhamphy said. - "And I hope the one that attacked us will no longer be near."
