- jcurbo 14y agoThe link now goes to a Page Not Found page. "removed from Stack Overflow for reasons of moderation"
- Sembiance 14y agoWelcome to stack overflow! Censorship here is just as bad, if not worse, than Wikipedia. As much as I despise this, it probably does make it a better resource. Still, I wish they would MOVE these to meta exchange, rather than deleting content outright.
- shokwave 14y agoYes! Even a "Trash Exchange" where all moderated posts are dumped instead of deleted would be an improvement.
- 27182818284 14y agoWow! Could you elaborate by chance? I mean this genuinely, this is my first ever dead link for StackExchange content. The others in this comment thread act as if this is the norm, which is disheartening. Is this a recent phenomenon or something that I've just been luck/naive enough to miss this whole time?
- anonymous 14y agoThere isn't much to elaborate on. Anything that doesn't fit completely within their strict no-fun-allowed guidelines gets removed. This leads to two things: 1. Any result on google from StackOverflow is guaranteed to be of the highest quality. 2. I am never ever posting there.

- jscn 14y agoI keep seeing 'PaintContext' as 'PainContext'.
- ibotty 14y agoyes. and pane rhymes with pain as well :D
- yxhuvud 14y agoYes. Definitely much more poetic than the counterparts found in Rails: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations.rb https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/...
