> So, what's the deal with b-stardized, then? Is that just because the checker doesn't like forms of words, either?

At last, my final goal for RinkWorks has been fulfilled. I started out just providing film reviews. Then I started out entertaining people. At last Phase III, the one where I get people to start swearing at their computers, is complete.

"B-stardized" is disallowed because the word checker checks for substrings. It didn't choke on the whole word (note that only the key part is boldfaced when the forum poster rejects it), just the substring. The full word should technically be allowed, but it's not worth my time to go renovate the message forum engine just to allow it, particularly when there are numerous other equally literate words that mean pretty much the same thing.
