Most of you have never heard of Anurag Dikshit. He is one of only a very few poker Billionaires(Calvin Ayre may be the other). Dikshit was one of the co founders of PartyPoker.com. He was the programmer from India who designed the software for the online platform. At his peak during the poker boom of the mid 2000s Dikshit was worth somewhere between $1,750,000,000 and $3,300,000,000

Here is Dikshit on the 2006 Forbes Billionaire List with and estimated worth of $3,300,000,000

who have heard of him.

Wait, is this why sh/t gets censored but bullshit, horseshit etc. doesn't? I always wondered about that. Doesn't work that way for e.g. ****wit.

Yes, they have freed up **** that isn't **** in that way. The exceptions. Shitwit maybe isn't a good candidate to be freed?

Edit: apparently shitwit is free now!

Shittier

Shits shits ashit shit1 ****. ****, ****: shitshit

Maybe only the four letter **** is profane now?

For this word specifically, yes, it probably is, unless there were any other words affected by the issue - I can't think of any off the top of my head.

This isn't an issue specific to 2+2, of course. It's known as the Scun.thorpe Problem.

Back when you could have monthly partypoker screen name I remember trying to change mine to A_DIKSHIT_FAN however both their automated profanity filter and their email support were of no assistance.

The real Billionaire white night of online poker is not Mr. Dikshit, who, all the OG's know...

It's Isai Shienberg. And it's absolute joke he's not in the poker hall of fame, because the poker hall of fame is a joke
