I just gotta ask something...As I'm in the mood to...
I've mentioned politely, a couple of times now about the swearing...
Kobby and a couple of others are all fine and dandy about the [censored] thing...
I've never entirely agreed with its use, personally, but I understand why it's there...
But I almost got a warning about avoiding the auto-censor by blocking out the letters with **s...
In fact, I'm sure that Kiln and Acadian remember well enough the row that we got into...
So, how comes now, now we're all allowed to swear every post?...
I've seen it a few times...And while we're - for the most part - adults and we swear in RL...This bit is a general public forum, and Impy at least is still a minor...
The rules say no swearing, no avoidance of the auto-censor...And while it was ignored by Starge at the time I mentioned it to him...I've been a mod/General Mod/Admin on several forums and even I'd be having a word about the swearing by now...
Cut it down guys...It's just looking stupid...
There have been some changes to the autocensor (obviously) over time. Several mods/admins discussed the autocensor and some relatively harmless words have been intentionally removed from the naughty list. Part of this was due to the extremely strict censor. Harsher profanity is intended to be caught by the filter but obviously the system is not perfect. Just use your judgement here guys, if it seems like it might offend someone, use a more appropriate word.
For instance, the word "bastard" is acceptable in fan fiction to describe swords and fatherless children but not as a title for fellow forum members.

What's up, old friends? Also looking forward to meeting some new ones! Glad this place is still kicking. I see people are beating my post counts and everything!
Anyway, I've been pretty busy lately, I work 6+ days a week at a bar/restaurant to pay my bills. Still playing music - my band just put out a demo in November, got a full-length coming soon, playing lots of gigs, so I'm psyched about that.
Anyway, hoping some of the old people might still be around? Minque, Lord Revan, Jack Cloudy, Colonel Mustard, urienashtram, Tellie? i miss you guys.
If you guys got a good RP going I'd be down to join that, too.
Welcome back Dantrag. It is good to see you around again. Minque is still around, Trey and myself still frequent this place and there are several new faces as well.
