You did not miss any joke either, there was no joke made.

Dammit!

As usual, I think I missed the joke.

_Ender pretty much explained it with his post at the top of the page.

I was laughing at   “^^^^^”

Everyone,

I’m concerned with the tone and direction of the forum as a whole. All communities change over time as members come and go, but I don’t like the way people are speaking to one another, treating new members, and letting personal disagreements that start in Off Topic bleed into the rest of the forum.

I spoke privately with some members about the situation. I apologize for any resulting confusion if you weren’t in that group. Please stop fighting with each other. Don’t attack other members, insult them, or accuse them of things you can’t prove. If someone attacks you, please report it to a moderator (a PM including SilverWook, Anchorhead, Moth3r, and me will do). Do not respond in kind. Don’t act as a moderator if you see something you don’t like; report it if necessary.

The mods are discussing the overall forum situation and what to do about it. There will likely be some changes soon. Please be civil in the meantime.

– Jay

Keep your pants on, there was no hostility in that post. I really thought you did that deliberately as a joke.

Peace, brother.

Sorry. As one might expect, I’m still a little twitchy, and I just want to have fun. Darth_Ender was the one that edited my original post to make it read that way. I wasn’t responsible for it even by accident, LOL.

There are no trolls here, only misguided souls and nutters.

Or some combination of the two like yours truly.

I’d like to think I fall in to the same category … being human really can suck sometimes, LOL.

This thread was much better when it was about the movie.

Just to be clear, I was laughing at your use of  “^^^^^”.  One  “^”  refers to the post above. Two  “^^”  refers to two posts above, etc. I thought you were responding to my previous post about you using three instead of one, by deliberately using five as a joke.

Very few people here seem to understand that the number of ^ used is supposed to indicate how many posts above your referencing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this guy gets it!

^Not sure if should laugh or cry.

I’ll admit that I didn’t know that.

We were talking about that mediocre haunted house movie with Kristen Stewart, right?

O dish fo real???
I seriously did not know this convention.
All those times Flink told me “doing the internet wrong” I really thought he just meant that using the quote function was the proper way to respond!
I will be sure to conform my conduct to proper standards from here on out.

Off-topic post in order to get link format correct.

^^^^^^^^^^ wat???

See Lurker thread.

That explains a lot. I did not realize that the “^” had that significance here. My apologies.

Do you get my avatar?

Is it in reference to the 1st Master in Doctor Who hypnotizing people saying “you will obey me!”?

Yeah, multiple incarnations do.The tenth Doctor riffed it when he started going nuts in Waters of Mars.
