I would like to relate to you, my dear reader, a little tale of woe and misfortune regarding a certain word. The word is "Defilter". You may not have heard it before, but there's no need to feel inferior to me because of this (although you undoubtedly are in many ways), because this is a word that I myself invented.
Many many eons ago, in the days of old when the internets were still lined with tin foil and held together with bailing twine, I was a young and curious student suffering the terrors and tribulations of the Education System. During my secondary imprisonment I happened upon a rather wonderful invention called the
computer, and shortly afterwards encountered the internets and the many dark and devious delights within.
After taking a few wrong turns, and encountering a few shady characters, I soon developed an unhealthy fascination with
murder simulations. To my family's growing horror, this did not stop at simple participation, and within my cold heart sparked a burning desire not just to act in these disgusting charades, but to
spawn my own. I nurtured this desire. I vowed to learn the vile art of murder simulation design. I would author a
new kind of horror, a violent revenge to be meted at my whim upon the other younglings. I would steal their souls just as my own was being siphoned by the System. Glorious is the hivemind. The circle would be complete and satan would rise again destroying the worlds in fire and blood.
But I digress.
Standing in the way of my progress, reviling my aspirations, was The Web Blocker.
*beep* ...... *boop*
The web blocker (a.k.a. web FILTER) stopped anything with the word "game" in the URL getting through, be it an actual game website or a website about game development. Game dev is a potential JOB, it shouldn't be blocked at schools.
So I made a simple PHP script which acted as a web proxy (at the time I didn't know the term "web proxy", and I have a feeling PHProxy and others weren't around then). I called this "Defilter" and set it up on
a bit of free web space I had. I posted on a leet haxor forum about it, and voila, I had some traffic. Then I moved to
Defilter.Co.Uk, and also abandoned my own web proxy script in favour of a better made open source one. I get a few pennies from adverts on the website, just enough to cover the VPS it is hosted on.
Blah blah blah.
What I am annoyed about, is that some ugly monkeys have started registering their own web proxies with defilter in the name, which are now coming up when you put "defilter" into Google. I'm not going to link to them as they are evil alien wordstealing scum. But.
IT'S MY WORD! I INVENTED IT!
Go and invent your own words you silly catfishes.
