The only excuse for making so many smilies would be if you were trying to get on Chiefscott’s shitlist.
So everyone who ever said “But I was having fun…” Is a selfish bullshitter? Ihhhdon’thinkso.
I was not viewing it for gratification. I was viewing it to check the smileywords were correct, and for any replies, and to test that my link in this thread worked, and because a poster is more likely to check his own post than others etc etc bloody etc.
It’d be a damn-sight better than the shit I get. Anyway - I have no choice but to recieve spam. I DO have a choice when it comes to clicking on sdmb posts. And if a post takes too long I can always press the stop button or close the window. And if it crashes my browser I know not to click on it again.
If they believe that being obnoxious is excusable as long as they enjoy it, than they are.
Iteki I am glad someone liked it. Thankyou.
I did not mean for it to piss anyone off. The last thing I wanted to do was piss people off.
It pisses me off when people get pissed off about something that was never meant to piss anyone off.
And I apologise for using the words ‘pissed’ and ‘off’ so many times.
Well I never believed I was being obnoxious. (so I can’t possibly have believed being obnoxious is excusable as long as I enjoy it) so I guess that excuses me.
Jesus, God. It seems most of the people in this thread are so uptight the stick up their ass has a stick up it’s ass.
Lighten up, people. The man fooled around with smilies for amusement, and you’re acting like he blew up your mailbox as a “joke”.
Amen, Weirddave.
Let it go, people.
See it as a computer test. If you had problems you need a new computer.
I enjoyed it. But I am enjoying even more seeing how some people choose to get irritated over nothing.
They might as well get irritated over the fact that I wear the belt on my pants two holes too tight. How about that?
Lobsang,
I’d bet the hamsters think you were being obnoxious.
Slee
I never said I enjoyed it. I merely said I was capable of viewing it, which naturally proves that my computer and/or internet connection is vastly superior to those of many of the complainers here.
And therefore, of course, my penis is huge.
Yes, but for those of us who don’t know what the fuck it was, clicking may have revealed something mundne and pointless, not idiotic.
A post that has a title like yours does not reflect its content. If you had titled it more acurately, then maybe so many people wouldn’t have been pissed off.
Maybe something like I’m bored … a thousand smilies ahead and then people could make a choice about clicking your link of idiocy.
Lobley, you’re a fucking idiot and got what you deserved. I’m glad I don’t read any of your posts that I can avoid, and it makes the whole SDMB experience better.
That was pretty goddamn pointless.And I would know 
Far too harsh. And rude. And mean.
A gazillion smilies in a forum meant for Mundane POINTLESS Stuff?
Unless I hear from a moderator, I’m going to use that thread to try out different browsers, see how fast the page appears.
Yes, I’m using dial-up.
What do you have, Mozzila version 1.0?
Hmmm… when an image is repeated many, many times over, doesn’t the browser just repeatedly source the image from the cache the first time it was downloaded? If so, it’s not really a bandwidth stealer is it?
'Twas I. It was quite an undertaking. I’d post a link, but that thread was closed for bandwidth-related reasons too, and I don’t want to anger the Gods…er, mods. Although, like jjimm, I don’t quite understand how smiley art is a bandwidth burden.
Your cache already has it, so it gets put on the screen quickly from cache. The server doesn’t know about your cache, so it has to send it all.
Oversimplification, whatever.
Really? I thought the client had to ask for a file before the server hands it over.
