Does Not Castle is an extremely popular fad that sprung off of a mistranslation. The fad started on January 16, 2015, when an Argentinian user named Koopra posted a thread about World Five of Mario Forever Remake not having a castle level. However, due to the use of Google Translate, his post only said, "does not castle" (which would be more accurately translated as "Does not have a castle"). This mistranslation was immediately brought to attention on the MFGG Skype group, where many members found it to be especially funny. After that, "does not castle" has became a recurring gag, and many had it (or a variation of it) set as their member title.
Controversy
Like many gags, a large amount of users felt the joke had ran its course after an astonishingly short amount of time, and had become annoyed with it. However, many users still found it to be funny, and have continued to joke about it. On top of this, however, several users thought it was in poor taste and morality to joke about Koopra not knowing how to write his own English. This led some to look down on users who joked about this, from a moral standpoint.
On February 18, 2015, VinnyVideo decided to add "does not castle" to the swear filter on the forums. Originally he was going to replace it with a random picture of a Scottish castle taken from Google Images. However, unlike the IPB forums, phpBB does not natively support using the filter to replace words with an image. So instead, Vinny changed it to "castlecastlecastlecastillo", then later to "VINNY IS THE BEST ADMIN EVER" with Mors' suggestion. Afterwards it was changed to, "DJ COCO IS THE BEST ADMIN EVER" by DJ Coco, but after some time, it was changed to, "VINNYVIDEO IS THE BEST ADMIN EVER, NOT COCO".
