Why are the words K.L.O.N.E. and M.O.J.O. are automatically moderated to «card table»?

Another forum I'm on, the global mod thought gold was overused, as in "This pedal is gold!", and replaced "gold" with "my cat's breath smells like cat food!"

Some very odd results happened.

I'm not hugely fond of global replacements like this, unless it's something in risk of becoming a forum injoke (like as unto akin an ingrown toenail.)

Onna related note, a NZ company called Telecom renamed itself recently to Spark. (It used to be the national telecom. Times changed.)

When it changed to Spark, it did a global search 'n' replace for 'telecom' to 'spark.

Herald "Sparkmunication".  I thought it was kinda nifty, Telecom didn't.

So can someone explain the whole card table thing. I've heard it used loads in the forum but I don't get the reference to klons

There was a long article with an interview with Klon creator Bill Finnegan and in it he made a point about the original Klons being built on his card table.

Guess that's why pedals sound so dang good... I build on a card table as well!!  Didn't realize it effected the sound so much.  My has a little padding with vinyl covering that I melt periodically.  You think that impacts the sound as well?

Totally. Many feel that the grey vinyl card tables impact a slightly more rounded tone than black vinyl on kloans.
