why is it c******s?

Post by saylaveev »

Just curious, this is the onlly forum I've been to where you write c******s instead of cichlids. it is the same "bad luck idea" with pl*co instead of pleco. The idea being that if you write the full name the fish will die?

thanks.

No, it's just that some cat nuts have strong opinions about perciforms. It's all in good fun.

Once the novelty's grown off, I DO hope the people in the moderating/desingning room grow up for once, and kick the childish behaviour where it belongs; in the waste bin.....

I mean, really!
They don't write c*****h on any c-i-c-h-l-id-forum either.
Or is the guy responsible for the asterisk "joke" lobotomized??

I'll give you one guess as to who was responsible. Hint: it wasn't me.
