Yep, King and I had a good laugh about this late the other night. King did dance "eh.ill.if" and we were totally cracking up by this point. This goes for the word elf by itself and island also. You also cannot say the phrase "Small Worlds".
We were on the phone with them the next day dealing with that family member issue and King did chuckle and they spoke about it a bit. Apparently, there was talk going on regarding other sites. I think Small Worlds was the big concern initially because they were very concerned that it was being discussed in front of kids and it really is not a kid-friendly game. They did not want kids to think it was ok because it was allowed to be discussed on VFK. Talking about EI is clearly a clever move of self preservation with the newest competition on the block. The fact that it does not show up red and you can see your own chat is sort of funny and pretty creative. 
We were able to figure it out only because we were in the same room late doing a quick trade and we could see each others screens. I honestly forgot all about it until I saw this Astro.
So, you are not crazy. 
Well, at least not in regards to this.
Well Thanks for reassuring me I am not crazy Princess.
I was not aware VFK has done this with Small Worlds too. We USED to be able to say that, apparently not anymore, I haven't tried in awhile.
I mean seriously, we all know we are
not supposed to discuss other sites in game. But, let's face it - we all do it at some point. I am totally guilty of that. Furthermore, I am also talking with other adult friends, whom I speak with outside of VFK ~ so there is no concern for me there. But, to VFK of course there is, and it just comes down to the point of being "lazy" and talking in game about other sites, real life, etc., instead of talking outside of VFK. I have gotten a warning before, and I realize they are only trying to keep the game safe for kids.
If I hadn't gone to outside IM with my friend at that moment, I probably wouldn't have figured out so quickly what VFK was actually doing with regards to the Elf Island in game chat.
Because I don't think screen shots really do any justice with this type of move on VFK's part. It is simply hysterical to see.
I give VFK credit for thinking up this move, clearly they are feeling threatened by the competition.
I'm sure the staff at VFK is laughing
at us all in hysterics when we go to type phrases with Elf Island or Small Worlds, and we see it on our screen, not in red and in chat bubbles ~ but all of our friends are like huh??
This is hilarious Wonder what my signature will show when I sign in. For months it has simple stated "Everybody wants to be an elf" I wonder if it is still there ROFL Guess they are getting worried. ( by the way it is play on the song from Aristocats- Everybody wants to be a cat )

Bug, I wonder if your signature is still ok? Or did the word magically disappear? hehe too funny.
