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

In the land before time

Amy looked at herself in the water seeing the flyer stare back at her. She then was in tears looking at the creature in the water. The buck skinned colored flyer. She felt vunerable and lonely there.

Why should I feel depressed here? I mean I'm not in a real world.

Then she felt her pains and knew right away she was in a world that was real to her and everyone else now.

She walked up to Grandma Longneck and tapped her and asked quietly and shyly,
"Um, is there anything here in the Great Valley that can heal some of these cuts and sores I have?"

"Hi there, Pangaea.  I'm Cera as you obviously know, and this is my baby sister Tricia.  Guido babysits her sometimes," Cera replied.

Mr. Three Horn rolled his eyes as he saw Guido. So then he asked, "Guido, who's your friend?" He stared down at the feathered flyer.

"Great to meet you," Pangaea said, smiling. He was tremendously relieved that Cera hadn't been angry when Guido had woken her up. "You too, Tricia," he told Cera's sister.

He then looked up at Mr. Threehorn. "And you must be their dad," he said, a hint of nervousness still apparent in his voice. "Sorry for...uhh...anything I did. I just wanted to meet Cera."

(OOC: Rat_lady7: Guido kinda already introduced me while Mr. Threehorn was there ;))

Mr. Three Horn sniffed and then said, "Good to meet you as well. What would be your business here?"

Seeing he was along Petrie took to the air.  He could only see Grandpa Longneck with Mim and some new long tailed flyer so he decided to head over there.

“Uhh...” Pangaea shrugged, “No business in particular. I just sorta woke up on the Great Wall not knowing where I was, and when I found out it was the Great Valley, I wanted to explore it. I’ve...uh...heard a lot about it, you see. So I flew down here and ran into Guidoóliterallyóand he was just showing me around. I wanted to meet his friends, and your nest was the closest, so Guido brought me here to see if Cera and Tricia were around. That’s about it.”

Grandma Longneck looked down at Amy and nodded her head.
"Of course little one." She picked several treestars and gently crushes them under her foot. She then turned to Sam and asked, "Sam dear could you come help Amy spread this treestar goo over her wounds please?"

Rick turned to face Amy and introduced himself.
"Hi, my name is Rick...it is nice to meet you."

Spike smiled as he continued to eat from a nearby fern  and watched the others introduce themselves.

Petrie flew over closer to Grandpa Longneck, Mim and the new flyer.  

"Hello Petrie." Grandpa Longneck said to Petrie.

"How are you this day?" Mim asked.

"Me ok." Petrie said as he landed on a tree branch.  

"have you met Flapper.  He's new here." Grandpa Longneck said.

"Me see him earlier, but not met." Petrie said, waving to Flapper who waved back.

"Hi." Flapper said as he waved to Petrie.

Markus felt a bit more at ease as he fell into place in the group. "Yeah, I actually just got here." he said, responding to Amy's question, wincing at her wounds but realizing that if no one else was too worried, he shouldn't be either. Before he went on further, he answered Drew. "Oh, I must've switched into my saurian form." He attempted the transformation to a human form, and after a slight dizzy spell he found himself in his normal body, a good ten feet shorter than he had been.

"That's disorienting." he said to himself as he shook his head to clear himself of the dizzy spell. Turning back to the group, he smiled, putting his hands in his pockets casually. "So, I overheard the mention of the GOF." he started, not realizing that the Land Before Time characters would have no idea what he was talking about. "I assume most, if not all, of us newcomers are members." Before they could respond he tacked on another question, the excitement of the situation getting to him. "Did you guys travel through a vortex or something too?"

"Nice to meetcha, Sam.  You're a GOF member, Markus?" asked Anna just before she morphed back into her human self.  She was still trying to adjust to being a swimmer.  She was about three feet taller as a swimmer, stood with a leaning forward posture, had a tail, no thumbs, and had to grind her teeth in order to eat food.

"I'm a GOF member.  My username is Cancerian Tiger, but many of the members refer to me as CT," said Anna.  "As for how I got here, the last thing I remember is an erthquake.  Strange, for those never hit my part of the world.  Next thing I knew, I found myself sitting on Cera."

Bron  noticed Littlefoot and approached him, he called out his name but Littlefoot appeared to be speaking to someone else and didn't hear him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John was walking back to the Thundering falls when suddenly he heard speaking, he tried to make out a sentence and he  strangly heard "the gang of five" so he hid behind a tree to observe the group, which consisted of a few dinosaurs and a human who John recognized, his once-nemesis-now-friend, Markus AKA Jedi472, it wasn't long before John knew it was worthless to stay...

"Me remember him say big blowy wind bring him here." Petrie said remembering the brief time he had talked with the new flier while in the sky before.

"Yes.  Those can appear suddenly at times in some places.  I'm just glad I wound up here.  I've heard some far walkers talking about some places like the Great Valley." Flapper said.  "I wasn't sure if I would ever be in one of those places."

Rick looked down at Sam and was impressed that he changed back at will.
"well since we're on the topic...I'm a member of the GOF as well. My username is The Great Valley Guardian...although I suppose for the sake of ease I should change back into my human form."

Rick then tried several times to change into his human form, but found that he couldn't. "This could be a problem..." he said aloud.

Grandma Longneck lowered her head and whispered in Rick's ear, "Try to relax and just let  the feeling come naturally."

Rick decided he'd at least try...and as he did, he found after a moment he indeed was once again a human. "Wow...it worked. Thank you Grandma Longneck."

She merely chuckled and said, "Of course dear, always happy to help."

Sam morphed back to his human form he took off his glasses and wiped them on his shirt before putting them back on. He stood about two feet taller as a rainbowface with a backward leaning posistion with a tail and had a primitive thumb. Sam rubbed the crushed tree stars on amy's back. "Well I'm know as f-22 "raptor" ace on the GOF,' sam said .

Grandpa Longneck nodded, "Plenty of food and water here.  No mean sharpteeth here.  They are kept out in the mysterious beyond." Grandpa Longneck said.

"And any that do get in are driven out." Mim said.

"I heard rumors there are some not so mean fastbiters around outside somewhere not far from the Great Valley." Flapper said, remembering the herd of fastbiters of his fastbiter kid oc Deon.

"Daddy, is it alright if we go play now?" asked Cera.

Drew stepped forward, as he explained "GOF is a website on a place called the internet. It's where people meet and chat and talk with each other from different places in very far away".

"So...its kinda like talking from far" Chomper asked.

Drew nodded. "Yup" he nodded.
