Sorry about this useless question, but why are there "\" before every " ' " in the forum description? Just noticed...

it must have something to do with the way the text is escaped to be inserted into the database and (not) unescaped when it is being pulled out.

the ' characters need to be escaped when put into the database so that they don't cause problems with what follows it being interpreted as a string or something, and it should be unescaped (have the slashes stripped) when the information is being pulled from the database, but it isn't
