 Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 1:45 pm Post subject: Some Minor Changes, or 120 SmIlIES!!?? |
 |
|
A couple of minor changes that will nonetheless be pretty noticeable:
- In order to get the full fifty points for a post, your post must now be at least 200 words long. You will still get at least ten points though. I made this change after some users requested it, and also after I noticed that posts I was making such as "That is so cool!" were getting 40 points.
- 120 new smilies, so that if you get find the right emoticon, you just got problems* 
- You can also strike out text, but it needs fixing it's fixed, just click on 's' to strike out text
I might also be adding new avatar selections since they're getting a bit thin now. If I do, what avatars would you like to see?
*sorry Snoink, I looked for a pig smilie, but couldn't find it
:pig: (: pig :, but without the spaces)
and my new favorite...
:monkey: (: monkey :, but again without the spaces) |

The first change is definitely useful.
 <---- You have to wonder when this will ever be used, though.
But, still cool! |

Yes!... Fencing smilie! ^_^
I suppose there's no way to invert them, so to speak, so that they can fence eachother? |

My fencing smilie will help your chicken smilie catch the chicken. (...and why exactly are we catching a chicken?)
Thanks for the new smilies, by the way, Nate. ^_^ |

If you have a GIF animation program, you can save the smilie onto your comp, invert it using the animator, save the new pic somewhere on the net (eg. www.photobucket.com or www.ripway.com) and then [img] it onto the site. If you don't have a GIF animator, then I'm sure you could download one from the net somewhere.
Or you could just have one of them stabbing the other in the back... |

The smilies are awesome.  vs  . You could build a whole good-evil war with smilies. Cool.
It's a good idea about the 50 pts = 200 words or up. I agree on that.
If you're looking for some new and intersting artwork, I suggest you ditch some of the Anime (they're fun, but they get a little old) and try to get your hands on some Roger Dean artwork. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!! Those would be truly amazing avatars. Just a thought (that you really should listen to.) |

Just made a new section called artwork and added about six of his works into it. |

Because chickens are evil! *runs after chickens with a vengeance*
my fear of moving objects on the net has just been reinforced, btw. |

I love having so many choices. 
 - This one brings back fond memories. . . *sigh* (Dusky might remember the stick poking wars from another forum we used to be on. . . Those were fun. . .)
 - This one is crazy, man. . .
Oh, anyway, good decisions on the smilies.  |
