Here's the link to The Hedge Knight.'s page, http://www.baremettle.com/sg/forums/index.php?threads/grand-list-of-dev-quotes-on-features.195/My quote page has just about anything major, though it's not always up to date.
<title>This</title>
You mean there's no title element in the HTML? At least, I didn't see one. Why do you mention this?I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this before but none of the forum pages seem to have page titles in the form ofCode:<title>This</title>
Ah, yeah I see that now. I bet they dropped the title tag out of their forum template.Yeah the HTML tag, causing the site to show up in browsers as the full URL in the tab/window title. Just thought it'd be worth mentioning incase they wanted to add a default title to span across the forums
Text based chat is horrific without emotion, so many things can be taken the wrong way! Anyway this is going off topic..Yeah, EVERYONE hates smilies, they're totally not at all useful for anything, ever.
Notice how the smiley helps convey the fact I was being silly and sarcastic, and not just a huge jerk?
Another example would be if you had replaced your ":/" face, which seems to be indicating annoyance or a long, dissapointed sigh, with a "" face, it would look like you were just kidding around all jokingly and such. I'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying they're sometimes necessary to show the tone of what you're saying.
... I don't really know why I decided to post this. Oh, well.
If you don't mind them, why comment.@ The Hedge Knight, yeah, I figured that's where you were going with it. That is very annoying, I agree. But one or two every so often isn't going to hurt, is it?
Edit: more on topic, I'm wondering why there's achievements for this forum? I don't mind them, it's just a bit strange, is all.
I have used forums like this before, I am ninety percent sure they simply come with the forum.@ The Hedge Knight, yeah, I figured that's where you were going with it. That is very annoying, I agree. But one or two every so often isn't going to hurt, is it?

Well you got that wrong because I was jokingYou seem annoyed that I'm asking a useless question. My apologies, I was just trying to stay on topic and say some feedback about the forum. Couldn't really think of anything to mention except the trophy points I had recently noticed.
Also, my point was that smilies are useful sometimes, in the cases of sarcasm or over-the-top jokes or general sillyness and other things that would normally be detected in normal speech through a person's tone of voice or their expressions. There's not really any need to use them all the time, I realise that, and it does get exhasperating seeing lots of them in a post. Not to mention it looks a bit... childish, I suppose? I can't really think of a better word.
In any case, emoticons are alright in moderation or when necessary to emphasise an expression or the tone of a statement, it's just that occasionally people overuse them and it gets on peoples nerves, understandably.
