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

Wouldn't that be queen though?
The universe has a beginning, but no end. —Infinite.
The stars too have beginnings, but their power accompanies their decline.  —Finite.
It the wise who are the most foolish. History has taught us as much.
The fish of the sea know not the world of the land. Were they to possess wisdom, they too would experience decline.
It is more absurd that humans should surpass the speed of light than it is that fish should start living on the land.

Nice, Justin1993!

Sounds like I'm next, huh?
Let's see.....


I have been called many things, from cool to headgear.

You won't find the last riddle answer near me without Man's assistance.

these ones,
because that's literally a saying in my country/language,

i literally didn't have a clue a new riddle existed in this topic.

'je lijkt wel een vlieg!'

Translated: 'You act like a fly!'

Nope! That's an interesting saying, though! I don't think we have one like that here.

5/6 guesses left.
