It's a script for the forums that protects email addresses from being harvested by spambots.

I know, I didn't pick SPLAT, but hey.

Is it a free script? Where can I find it?

p.s.: If its a script howcome it still prints @ and does not 'splat' that as well?

because it has to look like an email address

forSPLATexample.com

While we're on the subject, it really does no good if a spammer wanted to harvest an email address from this site; they would simply have to modify their script so that it searches out SPLAT instead of @ Razz

However, I would imagine the bulk of spammers wouldn't worry about it, as they will get plenty of email addresses from sites that don't implement this kind of security.
