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 think it a good show it's about Logging premered last night on the history channel. It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. And they don't like to be called lumberjacks. You can die just getting to work at work or comming home.

Sounds like a a very dangerous job just getting to work.   Sounds also like it would be safer if they gave the workers trailers to live in that are right at work so they could just walk to work.   When the area is logged out and they have to move to log to a new area, the house trailers get moved there too.

I could imagine crashing over a cliff, and it's not a pretty sight. :lol

It wouldn't be. Now try imagining driver a semi loaded with 50,000+ tons of mining equitment over a road made of ice and being able to hear the ice crakle while driving over it.
