    omfg.... most of you may have read my post
    on the guild with the word 'gay'....

    evidently 'gay' is censored.... so i typed
    it this way:

    ga.y


    well.... 5 minutes later i receive an official
    neomail warning from the fucking GAY neopet
    site about the 'content' of my post...

    here's what it said VERBATIM:

    Officially trasmitted from the GAY offices of neopia admin:

    yeah... point taken.... but even so... what is
    most annoying is that its automatically censored...
    without any real just cause (other than that
    faithful ToS)...

    even in my post on the guild i said: "i love gay!"

    yanno, without sounding commercial, its times
    like these that you can really appreciate the
    CHOICE to say what you will....
    hostboard provides that choice... and in contrast,
    even if you are censored... at least we give
    you the respect to add asterisks instead of
    fucking sending a threatening warning and
    deleting all of your posts....

    It's funny how gay used to mean:
    Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
    Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
    Given to social pleasures.
    Dissolute; licentious.

    Yet now, the only possible meaning is:
    Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
