Because once upon a time, there was much complaining about it, even though PS had nothing to do with it.  So the devs got annoyed and censored it.  So now few ppl talk about it.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

I\'m the one who put that censor/synonym thing in there, and I mostly did it as a joke--not because I was annoyed. :-)

Heck, the synonym makes people talk about RS more!

Actually, I have a lot of respect for the guys who made that.  As someone building one of those (more elaborate, but similar), I know exactly how much work RS represents.  Kudos to those guys.

Yea, they do put alot of hard work into it etc, but playing it just isn\'t fun anymore......(Can\'t do this, Can\'t do that, when you are in serious trouble it lags horribly)

It has alot of issues, but the worst of those issues were the new *features* they added themselves. :(

lol! I never knew that if you typed \"you know what\" it atumatic becomes Runescape. I had always writhed Runescape manually. I like the censurship, becouse it really should not be named.
Put the pot down, no dont take another puff!, put it down. Thank you.

I really don\'t care about runescape but the two times I played it, I had less fun than I have playing PS... and PS hasn\'t really got any game content yet, compared to runescape, that is :P

I don\'t like the game, but I recognize the work that must have been put into making it, and for that I respect their devs... The results of their hard labor is another thing :P

That\'s the biggest problem with roonskape, bashing things isn\'t very exciting.  Hopefully PS won\'t be like that, you know, just standing there whacking something with a sword, waiting for it to die.

Precious and beutiful, it is happy. The only time when it is not is when it is in a shape of a tear.

i used to play rs, and the thing i didnt like most was the way it had no coherent feel - it was all dragons and witches and then there was a mad professor and robots and shiz.. wtf?

plus the \"click the pick, rightclick the rock, click \'mine\'\" x1000 thing :P
I was predestined to some awful doom.
