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

Don't Try This At All!

It turns out that in other countries you can get on public transportation for free, but there's a price to pay for getting a free ride. This video demonstrates all of those factors.

This also occurs as a sport in developed countries. Look up trainsurfing.

On trainsurfing, there is someone who surfed the German ICE (Inter City Express)...the top speed of the train is in excess of 180 mph.

I guess for some, that or walking is their only alternative.

Not many options when you have so many crammed into such a little space.

Heck, I do this every morning!  :lol
Well, I'd heard of India being nearly overpopulated, but this is taking it to far is it?
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

I don't think those people were heading to work.  Where are their briefcases? :p Just stupid daredevils screwing around and breaking bones.  I swear to god, there's not a country out there where these kind of people don't exist.

It did state that most of the people were going to work. If you guys think this is dangerous I got a little surprise for you that involves the New York City subway.
