Don't really know if it's a glitch or what

I was looking at a contest that I had deleted my entry to, and when I clicked on the link it said: BLAHBLAH mindfang BLAHBLAHBLAH. It spelled name wrong  sad . *is deeply hurt*

In the project notes?  Then it is probably a typo.

They do that for every deleted or removed inappropriate project for some reason.

Re: Don't really know if it's a glitch or what

Its the google autocorrect. Searching for "mintfang" creates a "did you mean mindfang?"

That's what I said. It's the Google search, and 1 in 1000 usernames are going to not be autocorrected by Google, so I round that to every one (I've never seen a deleted one with a correct username)

No, it's the way google works. They're talking about the page you get on a deleted project and the "try searching for _________" since the site search and some other things are part of a custom google search thing. (Yes, I know, horrible description  tongue )
