I would hate to hear it's another ho hum tightly wound gaming forum.

For example, I once sent a picture of an animated turd fucking another animated turd in the ass to Rich Gallup, it was all in good fun. Good guy and everything and I can't remember the exact context, but it was pretty benign.

Are there ridiculous filters in this forum, or can you say what you want within reason?

Fuck
Cunt
Dick

Get back to me.

Consdering that they're swearing on the Bombcast, I'm sure it's fine on the forums. Would be really fucking great too. Not many serious video game sites do allow vulgar language these days.

I don't see them putting up filters, I recall Ryan saying fuck in one podcast so it would be kind of inconsistent to ban it in the forums.

I'd say try to keep it within reason. I'd rather not have the guys drum up a bunch of filters to keep things "safe" or whatever.

I only swear to emphasize things, because I'm not educated enough to use proper language.

So we can swear? Well thats good, because I don't want it to be like a carebear forum where we can't type anything that sounds like a swear...
Then again, swearing for the sake of swearing is just stupid.

This place is like the bastard red headed step child of GS. It hates its father and will do anything and everything that it's father tells it not to do.

This place is it's own. I can feel it.

Censoring myself is how I do it on other forums. That's how I'll do it here, even if it is allowed.

Hopefully self-moderation should be sufficient, and once people see they can swear the novelty will wear off. Perhaps.

Already looks better than GS...although the forum section is kinda confusing. Guess I'll have to work with it.

The more swearing the better I say. Would it be possible to make an optional filter for swear words for those under a certain age or those who don't want to see swears, and the rest of us can go fucking mad?

I wouldn't abuse the privilege. You never know, they might reconsider.  Only use the words if it is absolutely necessary.
