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

It would be better not to make a sign in the first place. Really, what's the point of it?

The sign was made in order to fulfill the stupid safety quotas...

The edges actually look rounded from this picture... not so sharp at all.

I'm more interested in why there is a picture of a car crossed out in the bottom right...

Is this sign so sharp it can carve your car in half?

If so, awesome!

I think it means that cars and people should not touch the sign...

... lest they be cut in half.   :lol

it should say: Caution: this sign is actaully a razor blade any people or cars that hit it will be sliced in half.

Maybe it was a sign made by the redundancy corporation of America...

Really? This sign doesn't look sharp at all to me. To prove it, I'll just place my hand on one of the corners and...

Ahhhhhhh! My hand is chopped off!!! That's it, it's suing time!

...Wait a minute. The sign warned me about this, so I can't sue them. Sh*t.

I can only leave my condolences for the many lives that were lost everyday because the sign put the most vital piece of information in tiny print. So many cars drove into the ocean instead of crossing the bridge that was supposedly ahead of that sign. :cry

Alas, we must also mourn the loss of those who cut themselves on the sign. :cry

That sign has a point guys. If it says we shouldn’t touch it, we shouldn't touch it. :P
