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

Trod took a breathe and smiled - "Don't worry Chomper, but I admit you took me by surprise." - Then only now he noticed the added weight of his friend.

"I hope you don't mind if I can ride with you for a little bit." - Rhamphy said as he is now riding on Trod.

"It's ok, Rhamphy. Let continue with our trip." - Trod replied, more calmly now.

Kit still wasn't sure if she agreed with Chomper eating even Trod's bad herd, but for one kept these thoughts to herself, and since that wasn't even the herd they were talking about, it didn't really matter right now.

"You guys wanna ride too?" Cory asked Kit and Petrie who were still flying since now Rhampy had landed.

"Um, that ok, Spike look kinda crowded" Petrie said, then smiled, "We ride on Cera!" he landed on the three horn. Kit giggled but followed.

"Good, it looks like we can all continue.  We best since I"m not sure how long this land will remain where it is before what happened again happens again." LIttlefoot said, looking around at the various folks present.

"I just hope we make it to the mainland.  The island is fun and safe, but there is not much food for some there, no there is not." Ducky said.

"Well, let's hope we won't get to find the bad herd I came from." - Trod said while walking, feeling very uneasy about everything. Maybe Chomper's offering to get that evil herd devoured could save many lives in the future, but it doesn't feel right.

"The breeze here is amazing. It has been some time since the last time I've been truly relaxed." - Rhamphy said, maybe he just wanted to say something, but it is right that he hasn't been peacefully in one place for quite some time.

"So far so good." Littlefoot said, to try to get everyone's spirits and moods up, and things were going pretty good so far.

"We're almost there," smiled Chomper.

"Good, I'll be glad once we are there, I will, I will." Ducky said.

"I agree with Ducky, this landbridge is not as safe as it looks if it sinks so often." - Trod said as he is looking at everywhere in the landbridge and the sea around them.

Rhamphy replied to that. - "We must try to keep the mood up, so we should just keep going" - he then added, with a shy smile. - "But the sooner we cross, the better."

"Yea, but  no use in running and tripping or something." Littlefoot said.  "Safety before speed my grandfather would say." He said.  "Just the same I'll be glad once we are off of here."

"Still, me gonna be glad to not see Big Water so close when we get there" Petrie said, still keeping an eye out for swimming sharpteeth or anything.

"Even though this is the second time I cross this landbridge, it is still bigger than it looks it is." - Trod said, not wanting to sound like he is complaining, specially for the added weight, ince Rhamphy is much bigger in size (but not in age) than Petrie.

Rhamphy looked at his friend. - "It may be easier if I get off you?."

"Don't worry Rhamphy, I am fine." - Trod answered. Still looking forward to get to the mainland and to look for those Nightflowers for Chomper's father.

"It is longer then it looks." Littlefoot said  while keeping the lookout for any mean looking sharpteeth or for any sign the earthshake had happened before.

Dein sniffed the air and he smelled some familiar scent...

"<If my nose is right, then I say that Velora and her pack came this way before us...>" he said "<Probably she expected that the landbridge will show up now and she decided to go to mainland. Leafeaters from island have really something to celebrate today, dont you think?>" Papa Sharptooth smirked.

"Oh, I hope she doesn't find any of our parents!" Kit said worriedly. "Don't worry, actually good for them, they've probably already been by and are...far away" Cory said.

"Or maybe they didn't even went in the same direction your parents are. After all, the Mainland is a huge place." - Trod said, also trying to help make Kit to relax.

"We have no way to know now, but we will eventually. But I agree with mr big Sharptooth, the Leafeaters in the island will have quite a celebration." - Rhamphy said as he giggled.

"Yeah, maybe they got bored of how they taste because of the icky green food it can be found there, hehehe." - Trod said, hoping his last comment will not make the others to feel uncomfortable.

"It did taste funny, but it was ok, but I prefer the food I am use to, I do, I do ." Ducky said.

"Yea, and Spike seemed to like the stinky flowers." Littlefoot said looking over at Spike.

"<They were great!>" smiled Spike.
