Everytime the word Alanland is said it seems like it is being changed into Canada.

The same reason that the forum font changed to Clearview: April Fools Day. Last year it was changed to Nimbya.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

What's an Allanland? :spin:

A word filter was applied, I found the following so far:

Alanland -> Alanland
Alan -> Alan
goat -> goat

Alanland is gone. Face it. Canada won the secret war everyone thought was with Nimbya.

Yep, mine is definitely deactivated.

That makes no sense - word filters should apply to all forum skins, and when I changed back to Button Copy 2.0 (the original non Clearview theme) it turned off. I know PHPBB, IPB, vBulletin, and a few other PHP forum softwares have persisting word filters that apply on all skins (you know, because it makes sense). SMF I guess, does not.

Here's proof that what I typed wasn't filtered, using no BBCode whatsoever:

The goats moved to Australia. The Alanlandians moved to Canada. The kangaroos moved to Alanland.

Even though I'm a native American, I still get teary-eyed every time I hear Geddy Lee's version of "O Alanland."

EDIT: I typed "A l a n l a n d" without the spaces and you can see that it turned into "Canada."


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Should have filtered "Quindaro" into "Toronto". Or "Ottawa", whichever.

No. "The" should have been filtered into "***".
