Anyway, I think I've solidified myself as the person with most username changes on the WBO? Maybe?

Flutterpants11 has 165 changes.

Though maybe changing it to crud would make more sense.
This is kinda off-topic though.

MagiCrap basically.
At least then it would be funny.

Gosh darn it! Ugh, well at least I have something to do this summer.

Actually, that's going to take me 990 days, almost three years. Goody.

If we have to block that then poop is a swear.
Uh...no. Everyone dumbs down bad words today. When I was young, stupid was considered a swear word. Now you see kids talking about...stuff I shouldn't talk about, and swearing their heads off. Kinda sad, really. Anyway, point is, the words are different, and poop is not nearly as bad.

Those words are replaced with "carp" because they're considered profanity by the WBO. Not because they're considered "swear words" by some.

The initial response was pretty funny, though.

I second that it be replaced with Magicarp , as a tribute to the best pokemon in the PokeWorld.

Magicarp might be too awesome Tongue_out

Lies.

PREPARE FOR REAL BEST POKEMONNNNNNNNNNNNN

But in all seriousness, I think that the "carp" thing is fine. It makes the site much more friendly for younger members, and less potentially concerning for parents. It also encourages users to avoid using swear words (of any degree of severity) and express their dissatisfaction in more constructive ways than hurling invective at anyone and everyone. Even though "cr-ap" isn't particularly awful, it's best to just eliminate anything typically classified as a swear word to maintain the site's youngster-friendliness.
If you knew the origin of our use of "carp", you would totally just play along. It is from one of the legends of the World Beyblade Organization community.

It sounds silly.
I guess I could carping go along with it.

I wasn't sure if this went here or strange dreams.

I keep having strange dreams about geetster99.

-First one: we went to AN and played Beyblade. He showed me pictures of himself.
-Second one: he was trying to trade is Golden Dragoon Face to me for my Gryph one.

Strange thing was we we're like best friends. Almost like we've known each other our whole life's.

I don't know why I only dreamt of geetster99, but it's getting really strange.

one option would be to give it to a committee member at a tournament. Or go to the "passport" thing at the top of the screen and there are options on ways the WBO accepts money.
If that's too hard, here's a link for the thread Brad made: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Donate-t...ght=donate
Thanks guys!
I got told by Echizen to post so I can feel wanted.

How's this Echizen? Am I doing it right, eh?
Yes you're on your way.

Sure, it comes from a fanfiction from the legendary Blader: Kenny !

This is where "carp" actually started, but read the whole thing from the beginning, and keep in mind that none of it was censored at all hahah.
