Subject: Why can't we do OTHER codes?

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

I mean like HTML and stuff? Can't Achronos ™ let us at least use formatting abilities in HTML? I don't think BBCode is enough. Er...I think it's BBCode. Is it?

I'm a Web Design monkey, so yeah, can't live without it.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

Achronos thinks it makes the forums look messy. I am inclined to agree with him, considering how much spam we get. If the forums were more sophisticated it would happen.

Yea, no images, no colour, no formatting, none of that crazy stuff.....

It's almost if they want you to focus on the point of a forum(discussion) instead of making this your own personal webapage everytime you post.

If you want to make ugly pointless posts, use MySpace. That's what most people do. :)

MySpace is for people who like to meet you off the internet and touch you in your no-no places.

so maybe you should make your own site for people to do these things on? maybe?

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

'Cause HTML is conformist!

Intentionally. I don't want to see any more pictures of Recon's mom. D: Posting pictures, with an community this large, is setting up for disaster.

If it wasnt for the soul, i'd append every one of my posts with a 10MP picture of my own arse. It's prettier than it sounds, honest.

Oh that!

Oh, right. I forget the Soul and your mom were dancin' the Tango, if you know what I mean..

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

You have bold underline and italic already... What do you think could be added that would improve communication in any way? I'm a web designer myself, and I love the fact that those are the only code options available: It makes the forums easy to read. Since the forums are for communication, having them easy to read is the logical choice, imo.

But seriously: What other options do you think would make sense?

I just don't like using this font. It makes me feel basic. And it would be cool if we could use HTML in groups.

Good thing, too. We wouldn't want anyone running around being individual. That's messy.

Be individual by the content, not the format, of your posts.

Yeah, I was being dead serious. It's messy when people get formatting abilities that allow them to be unique. ;)

I can understand your desire to express yourself and be unique (Otherwise there wouldn't be avatars and sigs). But you have to remember that your posts are meant to be read by whoever is interested. In that sense, you are literally adding content to the website. Good websites consist of content and design that makes that content readable and accessible. For many reasons, sans serif fonts are more readable on screen than serif fonts. Verdana and Arial (The font I believe we're dealing with here) have been proven to be the most readable fonts on screen. So there's my 2 cents... (Clicky and Clicky)

I haven't used groups much. I could see where some more robust formatting options would make sense there (As in: More robust than here in the forums).

That would be evilcam, not Recon.

I'll be on my own side.

No, I'm happy with what we've got. I hated people who'd make lime green or purple posts.
