That's so surprising I tried to find evidence of it online, but I couldn't. Partly because "index.php" is such a common thing that Google won't use it for a search term, which is ironic. Can you point to anything corroborating that?
- cryptoz 14y agoThere are a whole bunch of banned words. There used to be a whole slew of sites that indexed all of the things Microsoft wouldn't let you talk about. Here's an article about it in the Inquirer: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1041509/microsofts-banned-words-in-msn-messenger http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1041509/microsofts-... Edit: that article appears to be mostly user names.

- scott_s 14y agoThanks, interesting - all I found in my searches where the user name bans, which are standard. This is different from what Apple is doing, as it seems to be file-name based, to avoid phishing. I still think it's completely misguided.
- seabee 14y agoMSN has also banned messages containing certain TLDs e.g. '.info' and '.cx'. http://yoast.com/microsoft-censoring-info-domains-in-msn-messenger/ http://yoast.com/microsoft-censoring-info-domains-in-msn-mes...

- Too 14y agoI think that's supposed to be download.php, not index.php. At least that's what I've experienced. (this was several years ago btw)
