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

The Tri-Foundation Tournament

One of the people working at the castle came up to Stripetail "My Lord... you know the Great Valley you moved here, well one of the dinosaurs called Topys seemed to have bought some stocks about a year ago as he wasn't sure what it was about but the share at this time as sky rocketed. if he was to sell it now" the person hands the paper to Stripetail and he reads it but stops at the cash in price '200 million'.

The value of his shares are $200 million? That's a lot of money. Why has the value gone up so much?' Stripetail asked.

"Increase supplies of a rare metal from the federation, but when I told him he didn't completly understand the value, guess the dinosaurs in the valley has no value of money. He was kind of grumpy at me and told or demanded in a manner of speaking that you chose what to do with it and my lord I would suggest selling them before something makes it drop" the person said to Stripetail

"This two legged smaller form I am getting use but still hate a bit, now can you tell me why this stock thing is so important? all I did was pick it cause those crazy humans didn't stop bugging me about it..." Topys said tugging the jacket that he was given to wear "I don't know how these dinotons can wear this stupid thing" he mutters Stripetail already get a tasteful of the attiuod that Topys had.

The stock is worth a lot of money Mr.Tops" Stripetail said politely. "We use money here, but fortunately the stock is worth a lot of money so you don't have to worry about that. However, the value of stocks is constantly changing. that is why is it is smart to sell when the value is high. Like right now. If you sell your stock now, You will earn 200 million  dollars Mr Tops, enough to provide for your family for at least 2-3 generations, and longer if it is properly cared for." Stripetail sais.

"Sell it then if its important, but the Great Valley works without this money. How can it work in a place I live at? money as you call it don't really have any impact" He left in some confusion. Topys then thinks to himself

"Better not tell him that I entering this tournament in this humaniod form to see how my strength is like compared to others, good to know my full strength stays even I am smaller and standing on two with this more flexing claw hands and liking this form a little bit each time, that one thing I will keep to myself" Topys mentally told himself keeping to thoughts

Stripetail smiled as he pondered what Topsy had said. He had read Topsy's mind while looking at him, and he knew that he was entering the tournament. However he would not say anything about it, unless Topsy asked him to. Stripetail knew many secrets, and would not talk about anything he had learned from mind-reading, unless he considered it important or he was asked by the person whose mind he had read to talk about it. "I will sell it then" He said to himself, refering to the stocks. "money may not hacve value in the Great Valley, but it does here in the outside world.." Stripetail said.

"I gather that with this stock thing and one of your fuzzy people came up to me about that stock thing being at 200 million whats it" Topys replied "I don't want to know much about this outside world but since you moved our valley to this world after we all agreed cause it best for us and the kids including the two poor longnecks Littlefoot and Ali. I don't say this much but I feel sorry for what happened just don't tell anyone I said that." Topys said and move over to a chair looked at his tail and the shape of his body seeing he won't fit

Unfortunately, you're going to have to learn a few things about how the outside world works, you are no longer in utter isolation, although I have tried to put the Great Valley in as a remote location as possible. You will have much more contact with other creatures here, so money will be needed. Hence why my servants have pushed you on selling your stocks..."Stripetail replied. "I feel sorry for them too Mr. Tops,and I wwon't tell anyone how you feel. I know a lot of secrets, I keep them, unless I am asked to reveal them. "

"Sorry to change the subject but I need to tell you it..." Stripetail changed the chair a bit and Topys sat "My Cera and the other kids for the last 4 months under your 12 month year thing... just don't tell anyone this. They been talking to each other and us adults finding it unfair that they was never changed with their friends and that they wish to be with their friends then be lucky to escape it, I tried yelling and even talking softly to my Cera even Tria but they are very contant and sure about this" Topys told Stripetail the little thing that been going on in the Great Valley.

They don't realize that Littlefoot and Ali were cursed, nor do they realize what Littlefoot and Ali were doing at the time they were cursed." Stripetail replied."I think you can guess what they were doing..' Topsy snorted.. "anyway, so they want to be adults like thier friends? Touching..."

"Modesty then, you don't like talking about embarrassing situations. Prudent... did you tell the kids the blunt truth, or did you sugarcoat it a bit?  I ask out of curiousity, nothing more" Stripetail said.

"They found out the truth after talking to Ali and Littlefoot, they was shocked and didn't talk to them for a few days but then they got back together and talked to them again since then they've been visiting and without even you knowing they was in your castle we knew cause they told us and told about the three little longnecks and still they felt bad about not being adults like them." Topys told Stripetail everything "they asked me to tell you this as well"

The only way they could have been  here without my knowledge would be if I was away when they visited. "Stripetail replied "As for them being adults, that will come in due time, they shouldn't rush it .Haven't you told them that what happened to those two is not a good thing, that Littlefoot and Ali did not want to be like this?' He sighed. "Bring the kids here, Mr Tops, so I may talk to them personally" He said looking Topsy straight in the eye
