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

I'll give it to you.  It is Kalamazoo (K-zoo).

I'm wondering: do the places in this game have to be real?

Anyway, your turn.

After more than a year without any posts I guess it is okay if I just put up another place description:
This place is the bottleneck between the two pillars of an ancient Greek hero.

Nope, but Plato described Atlantis to be located beyond that place I'm talking of (a place which really exists).

Exactly. The Greeks called it the Pillars of Herkules (that's where the ancient hero comes in) and the Spanish flag includes a reference to this today, as it shows two pillars on each side of the coat of arms, symbolizing the pillars of Herkules.
Your turn Nick :)
