I have never had a hard time with his name before. I used to always spell Lago's name as Largo for some odd reason. I haven't even read Megatokyo since 2003...

Not a stealth edit, it's the forum swear word filter in action. (I have a copy of google cache with the wrong spelling.) The filter displays the replacement when viewing and quoting a post, but it still records the original in the database. Try searching via the forum search function for

"fbmf": you'll get 1000+ posts

[the wrong spelling]: you'll get 53 posts (as of this writing) that are displayed with the correct spelling (I also did a test post (which I deleted afterward), with the wrong spelling in the "About" forum - the search found it along with the extant 53 posts)

and (no offense :biggrin:) two swear words (one at a time) that are known to be replaced with [EDITED]: you'll get two different sets of posts with [EDITED] in them.

The U.S. isn't a democracy and if you think it is, you are a rube.

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.

It momentarily confused me when I could have sworn I read that post and it said fmbf instead of fbmf. Especially since I had intended to post that near-exact post and only didn't because I was ninja'd.

I wonder how many people already have, and have never been heard from again?
