That word was banned because of constant flamers who have no intelligence what so ever..Back in the old days when the word wasnt banned, people would just constantly use it and only that word for most of the posts. It was a smart choice to ban it.

** warning long ass explanation in front, read at your own risk **
there was the |\|ewbies and the |\|oobs.
|\|ewbies = new comers
|\|oobs = very stupid person that don't think and posts stupidities in repetitions !
a long time ago, in a forum far far away...
there was the ##### war !
that war was community wide, all but some decided not to join it, but most of the community was in it !
the ##### were everywhere asking stupid VS QUESTION all over the place.
asking TMY to work is ass off way faster so we can have a complete game the very next day.
questions like why aren't we able to choose all the chars on the screen ?
those three were all over the boards !
thus flaming started low, but grew up to maturity in no time.
endless flmaing topics were created one after the other, people were fighting all over the place. none could escape it.
the forum fell in total chaos, a chaos out of the moderaters control !
but one day, the master had enough !
tmyapp gave us an ultimatum...
"I HAVE ENOUGH OF ALL THIS #### GOING ON... IF I EVER SEE THE WORD |\|OOB EVER AGAIN, YOU SURE TO GET BANNED FOR LIFE WITHOUT EVEN PASSING GO, UNDERSTOOD !"
and so the word NOOB got shut down from this site, we couldn't say it ever again without the word being changed by the filters. bypass were made. but the war started to end little by little !
still, the word |\|EWBIE was still used...
but people weren'T really looking into the difference anymore, so they started to use the word as the next NOOB poopting flmaing thread !
so the word ####IE was banned also... and the chaos returned in the control of the moderators again ! peace was returning slowly !
so by now, the word ####|E and the word #### stop existing !
at least, for those who didn't care about the filter changing their words !
from that day on... the NEW COMER was adopted... thus the ####ie help section changed to new comers help. and the community adopted the change !
sorry mods, i add to... my story wouldn't have been a good one with filter changing the words. never gonna do that ever again !
hope it made you understood more about the history of this community, even if it was a few BLACK WEEKS back then !
