So what's everyone up to? If you can see this, it means that new topics are uneffected.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

No it means that Goober just fixed it.  Haven't you been checking the who's online every 10 seconds?

[Bob-san]

No. But ok--Goob has good timing. A few minutes ago (if even) I was checking if the error was still present. Now it's fixed--coincidence I assume.

[Goober5000]

No, I fixed it.

To be precise, disabling the pirate filter (which I had intended to do at midnight EST anyway) fixed the error.  But I have no idea what caused the error in the first place.

EDIT: Arrr. It seems that one of the other admins tried to modify the filter, and somehow changed the wrong part of the code.  Fixed it for next year.

Fixed it for next year.

Oh darn it.

[Stormkeeper]

So we know who tried to modify it.

[colecampbell666]

I thought I had broken it, I was repeatedly editing a post to see the effects, and I figured that that may have done something, or made the server think there was an error or something.

[Stormkeeper]

Pardon me, but what exactly was the problem?

[Flipside]

Well, it was Black-Box tested (We won't tell you how it works, but it should produce this result), White Box tested (We know how it works, so this value should come out the other end) and Grey Box testing (We're not sure how this works, but the right number comes out, so don't touch it), it was decided that the script was broken.
