Just curious. I used it in a sentence and it got the asterisk treatment.

Ah...interesting.

It is censored without the "d" at the end to keep those jackasses that like to play those online games that trick people into clicking links to increase a score at a web site. It is pretty stupid.

At O-u-t-w-a-r.com you can create a monster, a gangster, or a pop star and build their fame, power, and riches. Once you create your character, you build them by getting friends to click your secret link. The more people you get to click the link, the more money your character will generate. Attack other players for money, band together with friend, even gamble at the casino.
So anyway, people who play this moronic online game usually troll message boards, flooding them with their link to get people to click it. Censoring the URL stops this from happening.
