The Smiley Challenge
I challenge anyone to, while actively posting in the OT, not use a SINGLE SMILEY in any of their posts. Not to indicate sarcasm, or humor, or contempt. The prize is... umm... a congrats thread.
(this includes using message icons when posting a thread)
Current contenders:
Comrade Tassadar (started 6-23-03, ends 6-30-03)
Tuberski (started 6-23-03, ends 6-30-03)

For how long do you want us to do this? I mean, if the challenge is to "never use smilies again, and I will give you a congrats thread at the end of time," then count me out.
Also, if we use smilies without the picture showing up (like ;) ) then are we disqualified?

Sure I do. I just try to avoid abusing them like "some people." Y'know, like "conservatives are evil. I'm easily offended.  "

Maybe we should have a betting pool on how many days you'll last... kinda like the betting threads in the Community forum about A/D/M/HP etc.

maybe you can use an interim solution, like a capital P, as that doesn't make the smiley.

No, just OT.
Plus, I don't want to have to find ALL of your posts.
I can't read every thread.
Tuberski - since it's not being used to indicate emotions in the text (the main reason people use smilies so often, because they make it a heck of a lot easier), I'll say it's ok. However, you have to put it at the end of every OT post.
