About

This is a simple hack that replaces evil goatse.cx links with a friendly link to gratuitous kitty pictures at www.oralse.cx

This should work on all versions of vB but has only been tested in v2.0.3


Code

In functions.php, add the following function anywhere you please...I've put it above the function censortext to keep the hack all in one place.



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



At the top of the function censortext replace the following code:



Code:

with this:

That is all folks! People can now blindly click links in the knowledge that they won't be faced with Mr Goatse, but instead a friendly little kitten :)

We simply censored the words goatse, goatse.cx, goatsey(.cx), g0ats3(.cx)....

Works, too. But if a user REALLY wants to be annoying, he just makes a refresh page somewhere on geocities that sends the surfer to goatse, and links to that refresh page. You can't do anything against that... :(

(except for just banning that user ^_^)

Sorry for the interruption, but is this really a problem on boards? Yikes.

LOL! I wish they'd posted that in the original post, I REALLY wish I hadn't been curious about this.


This link has not been posted on my forums, but I can see a lot of possibilities for it. People that insist on spamming my forum with links to sites not allowed can easily be diverted, it can be a better substitute for the censor in some instances. Thanks :)

Yeah, I'm sorry that I didn't warn you about what's at the site...but that is why I didn't link it :D

I see the link posted on many forums to mock newbies and the like, it's not a major problem but a few of us thought would be a nice idea for any linkage of Mr Goatse to point somewhere nice.

You can also create a replcament variable, that will replace goatse.cx with oralse.cx. :)
