Kewl.

That is good.  Not to mention every day so far has had over 200 posts, which is huge for us.  We usually like to hit 100 for the day.  200 every day except once is fantastic.  We are almost at 2,000 posts for the month already at it is only 9 days in. 

[Death Blossom]

There was that one day we didn't get 200 in. So we weren't able to make it a streak.
I don't think it's an indication of increased activity for the future. It's probably just people having more time off.
Since we see the same people posting. Not new people also joining in.

[Silverwing]

Oh yeah, it's just a weird time of the month for us I guess.... (that sounds bad).

We just have more time off, no trend of being more active.  It will calm down probably anytime. 

[Death Blossom]

Yeah, probably.
Sorry to be the Debbie Downer there. Not that I don't enjoy the large flow of activity (I'm continuing the not so good sounding thing you started ) we've been having. But I just don't believe it's a sign of greater more bigger things to come in the year. It's just a time where were likely to see such activity.

I know it's not increased activity for the future, it's just a time off time for many.  We have more time.

[Death Blossom]

Activity already seems to be declining. At least compared to the past few days. Anyway! On to why I came here. Copy pasta incoming:

Why do we have a swear block on [fück] anyway? Just seems dumb. Can't we at least appeal for it to be auto changed to something less stupid and as immature as "poopy-pants". Why is f*ck censored, but not c*nt. Which is arguably worse. Hell even I don't use it often. Only for special rare occasions.

I know most users here don't even use the word, but for the few that do, why limit why they say? Why purposefully change what a users says just to avoid offending a few people by oooooh, scary words. I think we're all grown ups here, not like we haven't heard language like this in our lives.

I have to agree. It's not like children are going to see us swearing.

Because children obviously aren't supposed to be here anyway.

[Death Blossom]

Even the youngest, 13 would hear cursing in middle school.
My sisters tells me, yeah, she's heard the 6th graders cursing left and right. It's their edgy phase I guess.

[RainySunshine]

I don't see a need for swearing here personally, so I don't see why unlocking the goofy swear block matters?  Do we really feel we need to swear?  Will it contribute to anything?

[Death Blossom]

There's no need for it. If it doesn't matter than why have it? Why prevent people from doing it.
Some people use swears to accentuate some things they say. Sure they could in other ways, some use them to express anger. Whatever the reason, why prevent them from saying it?

[Darrin]

We will discuss this.  I will have more time on Friday to thoroughly look over everyone's cases for and against, or whatever proposals you may have.

SITE NEWS UPDATE (POSSIBLE OUTAGE COMING)

On January 22, 2017 at 6pm PST, we will be performing maintenance on the network in the data center that houses PSF.   During this 8-hour maintenance window we will be upgrading the DDoS protection units in the Irvine data center.   Due to the redundant nature of the setup we do not expect any downtime, however, during the maintenance window it is possible you may notice latency.  This latency would occur when the BGP is gracefully shutdown on one circuit and all routes converge to the secondary circuit.  This would occur two times and will last for less than 15 minutes.

[Anyponedrawn]

Thanks for the site update.

I feel if we do anything to our filter, we change the swear words to be like d*mn or sh*t.  That way it is sort of middle ground for everyone.  Compromise!
