Sorry, was that ##### or *****?

Admin induced societal anomaly.  It's one of the little quirks that make this place special.  Every board has their grammar nazis and their peni-centric discussions.  But few boards prevent you from describing what kind of ##### a ***** wears.

Back then, you couldn't say "#####" on TV.  I was banned for ten years.


Ahh, The Simpsons.

Real answer: it's a holdover from when this board was part of Dumbrella. RStevens (who runs that site/writes Diesel Sweeties) would occasionally go mad with power and ban random words that he felt people used too much.

For some reason both ***** and ***** stuck and were banned pretty much perpetually. Jough keeps them banned here so we don't forget our roots.

The Truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  


I'm so glad we have folks like Cort, who consistently provide us with the proper links to Achewood strips, fill us in on Dumbrella lore, and generally make sure that everybody's keeping up.  

CortJstr, this one's for you.
