Atomic Boo Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 thing is though, I'm usually required to post in that vein anyway, boo. haha even if that was true (which it may be occasionally) i still dont like you using it, for the reasons i gave. i dislike arrogant people. which you may be, but it can be hard to notice on the internet (or really easy). maybe i just dont notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 No offence intended, but it seems to be used by a high percentage gay people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 gotta ask, where's the irony? The fact that you're trying to stop it, but I highly doubt the effort will have much of a result. If anything, it might lead to the use of the smiley to be increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solitanze Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I attempted to change my signature a while ago, but it wouldn't let me claiming the image was too big, had 20 attempts of resizing, still, not allowed. So I've just left the current signature I have. The symbol of infertility. Same for the avatar. I tried to upload an animated image, wouldn't work, "YOU MAY NOT UPLOAD ANIMATED IMAGES".

solitanze Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Cast your eyes above at Rummy's avatar. I know there are users such as VipER and 1UP that have these animated images, and the example you referred me to above, yet it won't allow me to do so. Whats the way to get around the restirctions as some people obviously have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hmm where I live, "flogging" means "selling". So I always thought the phrase meant trying to sell a horse that's dead, ie, doing something futile. Thus personally, I always thought the animation had just got the idea totally wrong anyway, and considered anyone who used it an idiot. Oh and Solitanze, that sig is way over the width restriction of 500px, so you should be fixing it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Boo Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 These words are proper use of the english vocabulary, unlike somethings I know it's proper English, im just saying that people use it more than im used to.

Supergrunch Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The first one. It is overly used and is very irritating for the reasons stated. And like the horse one, it is used randomly regularly.The second one is bad too, but thankfully it isnt used frequently. Probably because it's pink. I like , but I only use it to indicate that what I've said is a joke or might sound a bit stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monopolyman Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I just don't like smileys in general and tend not to use them. Personally, I think it's just insulting the readers. For example, say I was to write: I passed my driving test today That basically means: I passed my driving test today, and if you haven't worked out what emotion I'm feeling right now, I'm feeling very happy about it. Although, as far as smileys go, I don't completely mind the dead horse one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 as in a evil person, or someone coolthe former. jk EDIT: this phrases: 'the latter'/'the former' are overly used I didn't used to know what 'latter' meant. And since i didn't know the opposite was 'former', i never used to know which people meant when they said 'latter'. True story that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I wonder if there's a way to restrict how many times a particular smiley/emoticon can be used in one post. Hmm, at least then you wouldn't be able to have 20 or so of the buggers in a line pissing you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
