Jenkazoo - why not try to keep the first post a little updated with links to the more important/discussed topics? It can always change but it could be like the "Artist Directory" thread but really it'd be for common threads/topics? Not sure if thats what you had planned but if not....think about it.
Anyone else having issues with the log-in again? When I come on to inforoo (through google), it tells me I'm not logged in. I click the "login" link and then suddenly, without actually entering anything, I'm logged in.

I think it'd be a rather arduous task to expect every slang term for every "inappropriate" body part to be marked as a censored word. And even if anyone tried, there'd still be some left out or a new vocabulary generated to get around it. I feel like there are a hundred different ways to reference a pecker. And that's just for the male gender... Females have equally if not more slang for their hoo-has and ta-ta's.
Is it really worth the hassle just to make sure that words like shlong or johnson and cooter or punani are fairly censored?
I'm not talking about censoring a slang term. I'm talking about censoring a medical term. I typed the medical term, and it was censored into a slang term.
It came up when Fishman asked Garageland if he was circumcised.

The censored list is full of random stuff that's not super incendiary, but is most likely more on the silly side and meant to amuse.
I think this falls under that category
If you want the P word back, let me know and I'll be more than happy to bring it back to its original glory! There are no real hard and fast rules regarding the censored list.

Just my two pennies worth
With all due respect, did you totally miss the point here? I don't think anyone was trying to argue for more censored words on the forum. I'm pretty sure that the question was actually regarding why arguably offensive slang is deemed more appropriate than a strict, literal, clean-as-can-be medical term.The current rule seems to indicate that "fish taco" might be less offensive than "vagina" in the general public's opinion, and I think we would all agree that that's simply not true. I'm not trying to be a Johnson, but I'm really not sure if you're being serious or not.

I don't know if I was being serious or not either, but I do know that I find "vagina" way more offensive than fish taco!
And on a serious note, I do know several people who are more offended or put off or grossed out over the medical terminologies of private parts as opposed to their slang equivalents. It's weird, I know, but those people do exist. I really don't see it as an issue regardless. I've always thought of the censorings around here to be more humorous than protective of our morality. But seriously.. this one girl I know literally cringes when the p-bomb is dropped in front of her.
Hey, the last 2 times I tried to post a reply, I got one of those "your computer is corrupted" pop-ups. Whassup? This time I am trying "Quick Reply" in hopes it won't happen here.
What happened to alieblue just happened to me a few minutes ago. But I wasn't trying to post, just going back to the main page. Maybe I hit the banner at the top or something by mistake?
Can we fix the countdown on the main page now that we know when the dates are? It says "It is finally here" at the top and it bums me out everytime I log in
;D
