now i dont normally write it out explicitly, but i forgot and wrote the "F" word and it repaced it with [censored] :lol: :lol: :lol:

has it always done this? or has big brother taken over?

 

[Sweet Fx]

Yeah, Its big brother... this site should do the same thing.
**** opps

Just checking, if you accidentaly type "it" in it will be censored automaticaly. I'm not sure what words are on the censor list but the big F is prolly #1.
:BIG:

Indeed, I had something similiar happen @ FA.. in discussing the NAV system, I used the term "Bumblef*ck, Iowa" .. Not exactly the f-bomb, and come on, we're all adults. And mostly men.

My post was deleted and I got an email from one of the censo.. er, I mean operators, telling me I was warned and if I did it again, I'd be banned from their site. :roll:

It's really too bad that this board doesn't get the lion's share of messages, as FA is poor .. it's down constantly, and must be run by a group of Sunday school ministers.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. The great majority of us here are FA seniors, so the best stuff will be found here. I've noticed 95% of what I see on FA anymore is newbies asking the same old questions we're all tired of answering. It's quality, not quantity, man! 8)

**** straight!.....anyhow, we need to focus on more important things here like "what my porn name is" :twisted:

MGFR is on the money with that...I'd bet that more than 50% of the FA posts for FX have been made by folks who are on this forum...more than 3000, just between him and I!

As for Bradical's porn name...<cough><cough>...I've met his fiance, and she says he's <cough> Hung So Lo :shock:

What He Said. I even made it back over there (with another name, not too hard to figure out), and I find myself looking at the forum index, going "Christ, not another <insert rehashed topic here> post!", and coming back here. FA is a good database, but most of the meat is right here. You may thank Jon Carson for that.

Well, I won't disagree with the above .. FA has an extensive archeive of messages that answer most questions.

Since almost every technical question has probably been answered and re-answered, the only thing that's left is chewing the fat with other FXers. As a new FX owner, I'm interested in both aspects .. since FA has more postings, there's more fat chewing going on.

MmmmMMmm.. Fat chewing.

Yup, and most of that archival info. was posted by us. I often reference thread over there when a newbie makes his way here and starts asking. I, too, still check over there regularly; just haven't seen anything interesting or new in quite a while. I swear, if I see another "can I make my DVD player show on the nav screen?" or "what kind of mods are there for the FX?" thread, I think I'll slit my wrists. Sad part is, I still feel obligated to answer the poor sap's question with more than the "Use the MOTHERF*@$ING SEARCH FUNCTION!" comment that's screaming in my head. I'm just such a nice guy. :roll:

Other than that, ther's enough traffic here anymore to keep me from getting lonely. 8)

"Should I get a '35 or a '45?"
"Can I do anything about the harsh ride?"

<grumble>

Thing is, there's other people (not just me) asking for the Search Function to go back more than the useless "Active in the last week" default it has now- it couldn't be more than a one- or two-line change- and they refuse to do it. Many folks will at least try and search, but with such a shallow default, they'll come up empty.

 

[MustGoFastR]

I guess we need to start being more specific: "Please be so kind as to use the @$%#&#%[email protected]^#&^ search function AND be sure to set the search parameters to "all posts"". :roll:

Ah, who are we kidding? Hardly worth the effort; FA is run by a group of friggin' morons.
