Isn't it about time we got rid of the bleedin' swear filter?

Sure, it made a lot more sense back in the day, but nowadays it's kind of a bugger.

Maybe it has made these forums a bit more civil (except when you (accidentally) read old threads and realize that, wait, not really), but these days we're really down to maybe 10 active shmucks at max per month.

And regardless of what's done over this issue: snow you!

I've always liked the filter. Everywhere else I visit on the web boils down to unimaginative combinations of the same four letter words. For me, one of the magical things about massassi was that you could use your imagination with the filtered words and picture more colorful absurd combinations.
Plus with how heated and hostile people get here I can see every debate thread turning into a ****you orgy.
I do really like bottom poll option though, it would make things fresh.

My blawgh.

Keep it. It doesn't really matter either way at this point, and I quite like preserving it just because it's always been a part of the forums on this ancient website.

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

The only reason I'd be up for taking the filter down is because it can be silly at times for words to be censored on the ISB. To that note, word replacement, while I'd enjoy that on the rest of the forums, would complicate things on the ISB.

Just FYI vbulletin (at least the version we're on) doesn't have the ability to turn on/off the censor on certain forums; it applies to the entire place. It also doesn't allow custom replacements. It only allows me to pick a character or characters with which to replace each character in the offending word.

While we're at it, we should pivot Massassi to being message board dedicated to Javascript and the MEAN stack. There's real potential here.

I always thought the best solution would be to replace all censored words with Juz-tyn in an attempt at "taking it back," if you will. Sort of like Clerks 2.

I had a blog. It sucked.

This seems to be the right place for this, but I really forgot how much i appreciate not having likes and up votes or whatever until I started posting here a bit more. It feels less like an episode of black mirror and more like we are some of the scummy looking extras in an episode of its always sunny in philadelphia. I love you dirtbags.

Awesome. The simpler the better. I would actually prefer even fewer features but things are difficult to make go away on vbulletin. Oh well.

These days, there's no such confusion and I'm the only one who remembers that Spork ever existed.

Oh, and, love these dirtbags.

well you see FGR back then I was a 14 year old and I think Spork was older than me so it makes sense that you would be confused. However, I still now type like a 14 year old so how are you sure it is the same Spook, and not a brand new 14 year old called Spook?

The Spook who wrote those posts years ago is long dead, as is the Spook who wrote the quote above. The Nikumubeki, who mentioned Spork in a reminiscent fashion, is also dead. As is the one who started this thread, or delivered nachos to his stomach (unlike this thread).

When you fall asleep, you die, and upon reawakening a new you emerges.

And if you use IRC, every time you disconnect, a new you is born the moment you reconnect to the server.

(So if you disconnect from multiple servers at different times but remain connected to the other(s), well, tough s***!)

Does half of me die when there is a netsplit, or am I just quantum entangled with a dual version of myself in a mirror universe?

Technically, you remain connected to a server when there's a netsplit (netsplit = disconnection of one or several servers from the main hub), so when you reconnect to the hub, from the others' point of view you've come back to life*.Hence, a dual consciousness has been established in your IRCual existence, until you disconnect from the entire server-complex, and both of you will die.

* = Which is when I'd type "YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!" at you

And then there are those moments in the wee hours of early morning, as you struggle to retain consciousness, before finally collapsing onto your Cheeto® stained keyboard, that a netsplit miraculously occurs, and you are soon joined by an imposter FGR, who has mischievously crawled onto the particular island among the netsplit archipelago on which you are stranded, perhaps in order to tarnish the name--through various misdeeds--of the actual FGR. Or perhaps he is a phi-creature of Solaris' ocean, made to pass the Turing test just well enough to coax you into divulging the more lurid facets of your psyche.

Personally I'm all for removing *******, *****, and ******* from the swear filter so I can tell which one of them I'm being called.

Unless something has changed:

With brackets of course.

I think I just quoted a post with a video to see how it was done.

I know, right? Funny that none of my examples were four asterisks but that's because they're all words I was wondering if were still censored that probably don't need to be.
