Stop using that word.
You mean the one that shouldn't be associated with us in google's search results?
I'll think about it.
Suggestion: "Our Ult-Cay Is Not Exclusive Enough"
I feel pain just looking at that sentence.
I sure as hell hope self-censorship or encryption for the sake of google results isn't going to become the expected norm here. It's embarassingly silly, and, paradoxically, likely to provide ammunition for anyone who might want to say that we are this thing-that-apparently-must-not-be-named. Wouldn't be overly suprrised if these guys ended up mocking it.
The original title of the post had a nice impact, the point of the rhetorical technique used was to boldly use a negatively connotated word. Now it looks weird and anything but bold.
Also, reading the same rot13-ed word multiple times caused me to learn a small portion of rot13 despite my not wanting to. Annoying.
Yes, well... I don't give a phyg.
Your comment would have been ridiculously enhanced by this link.
In fact, edit your post now please Nyan. Apart from that it's an excellent point. "Community", "website" or just about anything else.
"You're a ...." is already used as a fully general counterargument. Don't encourage it!
I want to keep the use of the word, but to hide it from google I have replaced it with it's rot13: phyg
And now we can all relax and have a truly uninhibited debate about whether LW is a phyg. Who would have guessed that rot13 has SEO applications?
Just to be clear, we're all reading it as-is and pronouncing it like "fig", right? Because that's how i read it in my head.
I hope so, or this would make even less sense than it should.
I've been pronouncing it to rhyme with the first syllable in "tiger".
The C-word is still there in the post URL!
Well, yes and no.
That's much better!
(I hadn't realised the post titles were redundant in Reddit code ...)
Upvoted for agreeing and for reminding me to re-read a certain part of the sequences. I loath fully general counterarguments, especially that one.
That being said, would it be appropriate for you to edit your own comment to remove said word? I don't know (to any signifigant degree) how Google's search algorithms work, but I suspect that having that word in your comment also negatively affects the suggested searches.
Oh, yeah, done.
What word?
The only word that shouldn't be used for reasons that extend to not even identifying it. (google makes no use/mention distinction).
"In a riddle whose answer is chess, what is the only prohibited word?"
