Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

here is where amati proves how ignorant he is. i honestly don’t know the answer to these questions, so answer them…then make fun of me.

  1. what’s an ICQ?
  2. what is HTML and why is its code off?
  3. same with vB and img, WTF?
  4. how do you do those silly face things?
  5. how do you write in bold and small print?
  6. how do you quote only a part of someone’s post?
    this should be good for now. i’m fairly certain that any answers are going to force more questions, anyway.
