I typed this in today:

http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

and this is what came out:

Divx for Mac

WTF? How many other special cased strings are there, and are they motivated by sponsors or by moderator's pick (or one masquerading as the other, like at versiontracker)?

This is just a feature, to tell people a bit more about the link.

It has nothing to do with advertising.

Forum feedback goes in the Feedback forum, please.

I can only guess that this is a function of the vbSEO package that the server folks recently installed. It's discussed in a thread in the Feedback forum.
