They probably were just tired of having to replace the road signs that people were constantly stealing.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I imagine the town itself has had some "Welcome to Redditt" signs disappear too.
Sadly not a mile marker or they coulda done this- https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/41999-mile-marker
typical overzealous redditt mods
I knew someone who was in a band called 668, The Neighbor of the Beast.
Members of the church had argued to the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario that it was inappropriate for their church to be located on the "Highway to Hell."
So go?
In Poland we had a bus no 666 riding along the coast of Baltic sea to the city of Hel. It was quite an attraction to tourists to take a "bus to Hel" and people with at least a bit of sense of humour liked the diabolic touch to the line number. Sadly, after some backlash from religious people the operator was forced to change the number two years ago. They chose to change it to 669.
nice
I would think that a town called "Redditt" would be equally problematic.
