I tried adding a reply to a specific post but everytime I tried adding a certain url it was replaced with ******* instead.

Yeah- ********* is a very, very bad word. SO is ****, damn, ****, etc... But, as you can see, if you add spaces or - to it it will still display them.

But why is big.talker a "bad word"? What is so wrong about it?

Because a while back, TWF used Big.Talker as its forum software of choice and we had a number of problems. When Joseph began participating in the forums, he would constantly cause problems and would have to be banned a couple times to stop the fights. He eventually started up a site in competition with TWF and we see no reason in promoting him and his software. I wasn't the one that sensored Big.Talker but I am pretty sure that is why it was done, and I agree with it.

oooooohhhhhhhhh, now I understand

I have actually been to his forums whilst looking for free bb software and it said his support forums were on his webmaster forums so i went and they are basically deserted apart from the actual support for the bb which is thriving.

Anyways, thanks for clearing that up
