Re: So how've you all been?
Actually, I'd rather this green because it's easier to read...than the white - but bright green, not dark.

Yeah... It does go with the forum, too, sort of... ish...

Re: So how've you all been?
No way. The forum is red, dark red, white and black. There is no green unless you use the color or maeg tags.

Dark green suits the GTVA, though. ;)

If someone can create tags that do the same job I'll renew the greenery. ;)

I have the "mobius" tag... :)

:doubt: Too many people have "their own colours" already. Colour tags should be used with thought, just like bold or italic, not in every word of every post. Constant use of coloured words just screams "Look at me! Look at me! I'm special!".

Nope, it isn't true. At least for me...I don't do it because I want to feel "special", "superior" or whatever. I do it because I like it...

Re: So how've you all been?
I'd just like to enlighten the community on how this started.

Once upon a time, I was on MSN. I decided to write "A Snail can travel faster than any Ferrari if said Ferrari is stationary" as my MSN text message. Mobius was somehow offended, and decided to write several following posts in red to show his unshakable loyalty to Ferrari. Then, he changed to some other colors, before finally settling on light blue italics.

And he still continues on to this day... The end.

Re: So how've you all been?
I was tempted to write in lightblue and italics before that episode, though... :rolleyes:

Re: So how've you all been?
I decided to write "A Snail can travel faster than any Ferrari if said Ferrari is stationary" as my MSN text message.
Ah, that reminds me. During that time I changed my personal text to something along the lines of "A Lada beats a Ferrari in winter conditions every time". And it's true. When the temperature is -30 degrees Celcius, a Ferrari dies a horrible, horrible death whereas a Lada just keeps on going.

Incidentally, I personally don't care about the colours anymore as long as they stand up from the dark background. But all italics... to me it's sort of like all upper-case.

Re: So how've you all been?
Snail, I find certain comments of yours a bit offensive... :(

By the way, my custom title is "
Neo-Neo-Terran", not "Neo-Neo-Terran". There's something in my posts that isn't in lightblue and italics... :D :p

I disagree. I don't technically have a rebuttal, but, well... nyah! :p
