I remember back in the day, when friendster was first starting up. Some users like to have what you could refer to as 'gag' accounts, named things like "Root of All Evil". The people of friendster really didn't like that, and tried to squash all those accounts. I think it kind of streisanded them a little bit all those years ago.



for anyone curious: 'streisanded' refers to the streisand effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
