I am including the words I struckout, before I added the code, in my count. My point is that saying ::Cough::minor insult::Cough:: takes longer.
What I am really saying is that one takes a shorter time then the other, even if barely so.
Well, I’m convinced.
Pre-fucking-cisely.
[sub]Yes, I realize the irony of my post. I’m a witty motherfucker. Shut your pie-hole.[/sub]
When come back, bring piehole!
Because the way I want to say what I want to say will require a strikeout at times.
I give it a [del]month[/del] week.
I too think it’s stupid and shall probably use it someday…
Man, some of you are tighta^H^H^H^H^H^H quite vocal about your condemnation.
I think strikeout humor can be really funny, but the responses of the [del]lackwits[/del] fine, upstanding people who don’t get this kind of humor are even funnier. It’s tongue in cheek. Like all wit, overuse can get tiring, but it’s a riot when timed well.
[sub]I’m next on the angry mob’s list, aren’t I?[/sub]
In time, I predict that the use of the overstrike will evolve along the same path as excessive exclamation points and overuse of smilies: A means of expression for those that employ it, and a means of identifying idiots for the rest of us.

Actually, you started a friggin’ Pit thread about it, calling it a stupid upgrade. Asking a question because you don’t see any usefulness about it would be an ATMB thread.
You know, this could inspire a whole thread of creative artistic endeavors combining smilies with the strikeout.
What?
In all seriousness, I think the Del function is like any of the others. It is a tool nothing more. Some will abuse it others will employ it with wit to grea[del]g[/del]t effect. The OP might as well have complained about the

function because we could just use “quotation marks”. All in all the OP is [del]lame[/del] lame.
I started a Pit thread because I thought it was a stupid “upgrade” AND I asked a question. Since we aren’t allowed to swear in the ATMB forum, I put it here.
BTW, it’s a FUCKING Pit thread. If it were in ATMB, it’d be a friggin’ thread.
I still think it a ridiculous feature and certainly is not an upgrade.

See what I mean?
Hey, MBS: Nice coding, dickweed.
Don’t get your antlers in a knot, Mr. Blue Sky. At least [del]to my knowledge[/del] no-one on these boards has figured out invisitext yet. Oh. Wait. Should I have said that? >> << >_>
Pray to Og we never get animated smilies or avatars.
Actually I don’t think avatars are a bad idea. They aren’t necessary, but they’re nice to have. And some animated smilies really come in useful - ref.

Don’t be to sure about that… :rolleyes:
