This new mark-up fad

What's up with the amount of people doing this recently (emphasising either the first or last letter of the post)?

Having your post a consistent size/colour I could understand, but it seems like a waste of time to colour one letter.

Discuss.

    Agreed. I think that it adds to their character count so they have to post even less than they would have before/

It's just another way for people to be unique. Just like everyone else.

re: This new mark-up fad

I think Starborn started it, which was annoying but at least original. Now there are loads of people taking part thinking they're original, or cool, or whatever. Part of the reason why I stopped using my markup, in addition to the fact that there's no NAMChrome.

    Actually is was xSquirrel_Loverx. I don't do it to increase my post count, I just wanted my post to look nice, and it does look pretty neat I would say. Many people copy it off xSquirrel_Loverx and I though, I have no control over it .

im pretty sure tags dont count towards the needed 72 characters, though I could be wrong.

They do count. That's why using Size 2 black font is so cool.

You do realize that a lot people ignore you posts because of your annoying mark-up? It's just such a waste... 2 minutes trying to make your post look pretty. It's so funny how members try to stand out and be unique through their posts. You should try defualt for a week, and you'll see how much better that is.

everyone lives bound by their own knowledge and awareness. that’s called reality.
but knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions.
