Post by Ode to a Grasshopper »

What would happen if someone were to register their name as :) ? Would their username appear next to their posts as a smilie, or would it just be :) ? I'd try it myself, except you're not allowed alter-egos and I'm not so curious as to risk being baaasied.

Well, what do people think? This dilemma has piqued my curiousity.

EDIT-I forgot to say spam away, should you so desire.

I don't think that the user name field, when registering, supports smilies. If a feature is supported when filling a field you can see that is stated nearby, (like signature).

Hey! I can claim full status as a 'member' under the updated titles we all decided on a few months back. Don't you "newbie" me. :mad: :D

And I certainly don't need Aegis' help to be delinquent. ;)

And yet you've got twice as many posts as me :rolleyes: , I feel like such a slack@r$e. Ah well, come August we'll hold a joint SYM birthday party for the two of us. We can celebrate midway between the two days, OK by you?

Don't worry about post count. It's the quality not the quantity. ;)

I'm not going that well on the quality, either :D . The post count would be higher if I'd discovered SYM before late December, instead of sticking to the BG2 forums. :rolleyes:

...after the 9/11 incident. I was active at the BG2 forums then I felt I needed to "talk" to people after 9/11...

I just got tired of repeatedly seeing a new "How do I kill Gaxx" thread every couple of days, and then noticed that on all the threads I liked the best someone always seemed to be pointing out that they really should have been in SYM. I haven't looked back since.

@Mah-What country are you from, anyway? Somewhere north of Oz and south of Japan isn't very specific a location.

@Ode...

...I'm presently in Bangkok, Thailand. However, I'm originally from the Philippines. Still the same area/location. :cool:

I want to travel to Bangkok. It looks pretty awesome. My mother traveled there when she was pregnant with me, but I'd like to see it for myself.

My uncle Nick is a Phillippino. He's not related by blood, he's more of a friend of my dad, but he's cool.

Well, if you do get to visit Bangkok, tell me. :cool: Hopefully you, Georgi and CE would come relatively at the same time. :)
