Bolding usernames

[Mac_Guffin]

Perhaps [sub]agiantdwarf [/sub]would prefer things this way?

Works for me.

Personally I do it so morons like agiantdwarf shall not miss my insults when they skim the page.

I just type in bold all the time, because I’m a total whore for attention.

Don’t you mean Fuck off?

I hear she’s a babe.

Hmm… agiantdwarf… because we can. And it really does increase your odds of carnal knowledge at Dopefests.

Bolding usernames in your own writing gives your posts a clean, consistent, professional look, thus increasing your Board Popularity Quotient and your chances of getting laid at Dopefests.

Mr2001 does this knowledge come from personal expierence?

[Duckster]

To boldly go where no one has gone before …

I don’t think agiantdwarf is coming back. The OP has the stink of a drive-by pitting, in which a (usually new) member thinks up some trivial complaint just so they can have the excitement of starting a thread in the pit.

However, I’ll still answer the OP anyway: I type usernames in bold because it significantly increases the amount of formatting tags in any given message and thus the risk of a typo which will produce an embarassing expanse of bold following a [b/] tag. This allows me to live on the thrilling edge of danger. Truly, you haven’t lived until you’ve typed out a response mentioning three users with names bolded, and then submitted it before you can check your formatting. The adrenaline rush has a kick like a mule.

I used to do it all the time purely as a matter of habit because everyone else did it. However, my declining health makes it harder to type many days (especially that “reach” to [ and ]), and thus I have been reducing the number of times I use the bracket keys.

If you keep bolding my name like that, you just might find out first hand…

**Because usernames are bolded on the forum index, the thread list, and the left column of thread views like this one.

Wait a minute, you can get laid at a dopefest?:smack:

Of course, aGiaNtDwarf, it could be worse.

I will never try that again. Maybe.

Whu—huh? Not to hijack, but “decling health?” What’s up, hon?

[Lord_Ashtar]

I’m quite sure he was using hyperbole, Eve. I could be wrong though.

[dantheman]

Er… “she”

[AnnaLucretia]

I am sooooo going to the wrong Dopefests.

Don’t you mean “Oh for Christ’s sake. It’s the custom over here and it makes for clarity. Notice that it’s not required.”?
