[quote="RambOrc":32xdem9z]It's not about bandwidth, it's about annoyance level (not to mention the more different smileys on a page, the longer it takes to display, as that many more requests need to be sent). As for these forums being "dead", the real reason is that our last release (KMOD 2.2) was 5 months ago, and our news in the meantime were posted only on the Korax site (and a couple of them on RavenGames).
As for the visuals, I'm not going to ban you, but one of these days I might get pissed enough to simply break the font codes in phpBB itself (which would be nearly as barbarous an approach of social communication than what you're doing here).
So you're telling me you might someday get pissed off from me using the BOLD and SMILIES too much that you'll just disable it on my account eh?..well I can create multiple accounts and you won't know it's me untill I post with BOLD and lots of laughing smilies. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
The BOLD option is here to be used, so WHAT??!! It's there to be used. And I post nonsense because this place isn't like it was before.. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> The good old days.. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
