It hasn't been hacked. The pro-lance site is the .com one (which has been taken down), this one is a s**** - not a hack.

ETA: Apparently S P O O F is a bad word acccording to the autocensor. I can't for the life of me see why.

b/c "P O O F" has some negative conotations in anglophone countries besides the US.

AH, I should have figured that out, I even looked up spo-of to check whether it meant anything like that, but nothing of cause. Does make a certain amount of sense I suppose. I've had auto-censors censor anything that started with F and ended with CK. So you'd catch flak for writing flock.

I believe it's derogatory towards African-Americans.

Sp00phf from the urban dictionary - I will edit as appropriate:

in Australia, spoo- means xum, jixx, sperm etc. etc... we always find it funny when americans use it to describe a parody (see def. 1) hehehe. btw, to get the accent, the 'oo' sound is the same as in 'book'
she doesn't like the taste of xxoox....

I have a feeling this will be deleted by mods. I get it, and you are right but for the 3 people who wanted to know, you could at least leave the link after deleting.

That is a spook. P00f is a British term for gays. Both are slang terms which are not overly derogatory.

OK. My bad. English not my first language.
@Bobs ***: thanks for the clarification!

Once you get into your 40's, the urban dictionary is pretty much indispensible to understand what people are talking about sometimes.

Not if you contribute to the urban dictionary :D

Some of you need to catch up on all things Lance, here's some reference material, its deep and long but it will allow you to see what has been uncovered, like the link in the OP's post.

what on earth are you on about. Its the last four letters of the word that are censored. Due to be it being a very tame swear term relating to a homosexual male.

I very much doubt the forum censor has banned the word Spoo, apart from the fact none of us (even the mods) would know what it means, it would also reek havock, there would be no spoons, spooks, or spools

spook is an immediate beat down word in the black community. You should hope after saying it that fists are all that will be used to make the correction to your vocabulary. **** will result in the same result when directed at gay men. Neither word should be used. In lots of gay neighborhoods in NYC you can see that lots of guys are in awesome shape, no body fat and hours in the gym, the **** comment would end in disaster.

Yup, and I was just going to add:

Try it on the streets of Boston, Hartford or New York and see how it plays out.

Dorchester, Harlem, Newark, DC, Brixton,Camden, Newark or Crown Heights, East New York, Brownsville, Coney Island, Chula Vista, Chelsea, Golden Hill, Barrio Logan, Hillcrest and who can forget Irvington New Jersey. I hope that show What Would You Do? Uses this word play thing. I work out at Planet Fitness..good mix..David Barton Gym would be the place to film it

Only on this site can such an innocuous post get that sort of heated response. Hilarious, sir. I have had a day at work that was beyond horrendous, and I must thank you deeply for taking my mind off of that debacle, no matter how briefly. Truly. Thanks.

As they say in the south....Bless your heart. :)

If you call a black person that word (s---k), you may as well call them the 'n' word and whatever happens after that is your own doing.

In the wide world of racial terms ranked in terms of negativity, spook is way way down the list. It is archaic. I am not sure the last time I heard it outside of film from the 70's. P00f is right down there with insinuating a guy likes musical theater.

Anyway, back to topic. Both the .net and .info were registered through godaddy. The registrant details are private. I was hoping to see Grey Manrod Associates.

What a colossal screwup by Lance's team not to lock down the domain name variations. It is amateur hour over there.
