Welcome to Gaia! ::

Interesting.

Hey, everybody else started it.

I just finished it.

You forgot to mention the header and footer in every post, most times with an image put in both places and a quote split between the two.



Because real men need to decorate their posts.

I admit to adding a header and footer to each of my posts... yea, it feels kind of silly but at the same time I think it makes us feel sophisticated. 3nodding
Just for kicks I'll throw in what I say:
My Grandfather used to say... ...Imagination is the greatest nation in the world.

On a different note,
My neighbors are noisy... any suggestions on how to ask four mad people to quite down? crying

Edit: I added a few things to make it clear what my header was and that I was addressing a new topic with the next line.

It's what people do to "pad" their posts in an attempt to make them look larger. Because when you don't have a lot to say, you have to make sure to bookend your IC and OOC posts with as many 150x150 pixel images and useless, irrelevant quotes as possible to make it look like you're saying more than you are.

I've seriously seen someone do like five images ontop, five on bottom, and like six quotes above and below, just to bookend a single line of relevant OOC text. It took me a minute to figure out exactly which line was supposed to be relevant, because all the quotes were size 14+ and the actual message was size 9. It was practically hidden among all the retarded rainbow coloring the person had done.

Formatting: "Trying Too Hard" is Barton Town's motto.

They should all be slapped for their silliness.

Slapped with bricks.

Fresh, crisp-edged bricks that won't break after several strikes.

Starting with you.

Ooo, upgrades.
