Sorry, but I had to put that in there. 4,000 is quite a big number. dancing Anyway, I also had two questions that I was hoping the mods here could answer, or anyone else who really knows the boards for that matter.

1. I understand the rule of no cursing here, but how come there's no censor option? For example, the censorship options on a ProBoards if in place will replace the f word with something tame like puppy or something (lame replacement for a swear word I know, but I couldn't think of anything). So basically it would say: "What the puppy is going on?" instead of you know what even though someone typed the f word in.

2. Also, what's going on with the Top Posters list? It doesn't look like it's been updated in awhile.

All in all, these questions aren't that serious. I'm just asking them out of curiousity. thinking

1) Congrats!

2) The censors are always easy to overcome. For example, any "e" can be replaced with "3", any "l" can be replaced with "1" or "|" or even "I" (etc.), and any curse word can be jumbled. For example, "fcuk". (And I don't think they'll be referring to French Connection United Kingdom.)

3) The Top Posters List is updated at the start of each day. (I think it's 3:00 A.M. Eastern Time.)
Edit: Heh, nevermind. It looks like it's frozen.

Thanks for the prize and the congrats. grin As for those two questions posed, I was curious because it's all too easy to write out the actual swear words here and the Top Posters list is definitely off. It's at least a week behind. Just a couple of those idle curiousity things that I beagn to think about earlier.

Understood. In reagrds to the Top Posters list, I'm surprised no one else said anything beforehand. It seems to have been stuck like that for awhile now.
