Adding emotion to posts
I might be late to the game with this one, but that wouldn't be the first time. Why is it that we haven't developed a system (besides the occasional smiley) for indicating our true meaning when speaking in text. For instance, if I call my co-worker an A-Pipe, in the right way. he will surely understand that I am screwing around. On the internet, if I respond to someone and say "Hey A-Pipe, why don't you die" it could be taken pretty seriously. So we need a system. I began thinking about this on my "Everybody's grammar is worse than mine" post which turned out to be my most popular acheivement ever.
My proposed new system utilizes colors to help us clarify our true intentions. Black - This is used for matter-of fact stuff. An example would be "Last night I saw a meteor shower. It was pretty sweet." Green - This is used for sarcasm, or tongue-in-cheek statements. An Example would be "Z-Man is a dingus for removing that super booby picture". You see, now you know that I probably don't really think Z-Man is a dingus, but I wanted to just 'josh' him around. Blue - This is used for sadness. Pretty self-explanatory. Pink - This is used for being a whiney beeotch. Those who should write eveything in pink, you know who you are. Red - This is used for raging, seething anger. Orange - This is used for super exciting stuff, like when you are talking about how awesome this post is. Gray - This is used to see if you are totally super badass and know how to find hidden treasures like this. When things are hidden, maybe Z-Man can't find naughty words like POOPY, PEENIS, VAGINAL ACTION, etc. Last edited by rammstein; 10-25-2006 at 09:47 AM.. |

You just took me on an emotional rollercoaster. First you threatened me, then I felt bad for you, and then I saw that you were just being humorous.

I have to say, much more posting like that and my post count per day would decline drastically. It takes a lot longer to do when you want to add lots of colors. All of that damn color=this and color=that. Whew.

I wonder if once we have all of us posting on here in video form if people will be more civil? I will always wear a ski-mask in my posts so that I can still act like an internet animal and make slanderous remarks to everyone as I point out how superior my political views are.

My world is woefully, incurably, black and white. I post with no emotion, no passion. Just call me "Spock".

Ramm, it's not because you are all into the rainbow thing, that everybody else should too... i'm not opposed to you guys marriying... but that's as far as i'm willing to go.

Ramm, I can appreciate the point with a color system, but I am even worse with computers than with wrenching so I donīt even know how to change colors. Secondly I would suffer an epileptic seizure trying to read it.

Now that it is a day later, can any of you find the hidden message in my original post?
Here is your clue: Apparently, nobody considered that gray might be given a meaning. |

who cares about gray , Z-man never bugs posts for words
the only one who bugs us is the forum code itself can't write b1tch or s3x without switching letters with numbers and the grey won't fix that one bit
