Swear filters.

Hahaha, let's have our fun with swear filters. Yeah its funny to see Chuck Norris get turned into Raoul Duke, but I don't think we should have vgcats turn into Not Funny. This screws up links, I know not everyone links themselves to there, but its happened a few times, and it bothers me.

I actually wasn't aware of vgcats being Not Funny. That's funny xD

People are aware of the VG-Cats thing turning into Not Funny, so for the time being they can simply get around the filter when posting links. However, as true as it is, I don't really see much need for that particular filter if it is causing/will cause a problem to forum users. As it is, though, there's not an overwhelming need to fix it.

As Heath said, enough people know how to bypass the filters when appropriate that it's not a big deal, i.e. making Yo

aka Amano read Yoshitaka Amano.

It's not really hurting anyone, and the filter only works if there is no space.
Not Funny
And if there is a space
VG Cats. If it annoys you just use a space or a dash.
Note: Do not try to avoid the other swear filters though. This is an advance warning.

qwerty you can't have spaces in url's

Secondly, using the size trick breaks links

Example:

www.vgcats.com

And destroys image tags:

It's not like people are forbidden to just type the url themselves in their browser's address bar if they can't click on the broken link.

Besides, "vgcats" is a filter set up specifically for your posts, Gobo.
