Apparently there are one or more defunct retailers in the forums’ censored word list. Uncensoring their names would help us discuss yoyoing history and shouldn’t harm YoYoExpert’s business since said retailers no longer exist. 🙂

The one I noticed recently is that you can’t say _Yo Yo Best Buy_ as one word. Their website is dead. When it was still up, it had been unmaintained since sometime in 2019. Their socials have been inactive for just as long. Since it’s been over 6 years, I feel like it’s safe to say that they’re probably not coming back.

Sure. Fixed that. I think that is the only one looking at what was in there.

Just tested it and _Yo Yo Play_ as one word is still on the list. Their website went down in Jan 2024 and their socials were inactive since 2018.
