I just played AO after reading this and did not see such a sign. I saw a poster of the anatomy of a scrab and a sign saying "grinding area" with the Scrabcake logo next to it. Are you lying or could you be more specific about the location on this screen? I am using the Playstation version.
By the way, welcome to the forums.
Edit: I just realised you're Drew the Slig, I forgot, sorry.
