Hey, mods. Is there any way that we could introduce sarcasm tags for posts that immiediatly changes the script to something entirely random, like every 10 seconds or so? Or maybe just a flourishing olde-style script?

If we don't have one (and we don't) then try comic sans ms in a little larger font. And maybe a different color.

so sarcasm tags might look like this.

What the heck. It was worth the try. :D

Oh THAT would be useful. I don't think anyone here is regularly sarcastic. Ooooh Noooooo.

And clearly, sarcasm serves its humurous intent quite well if it is blatantly exposed with semantic markup.

You're all quite clever.

That wasn't sarcasm, that was a blatant lie...

I fail to see how this even came up.

If you can't write in a way that clearly yet cleverly shows the irony of your post, you shouldn't be using irony.

Congradulations. You're part of it. Look, I even quoted you, so you can't take it back. You are now linked to the stupidest thread you have ever seen forever, and it cannot be taken back. Yup, nothing beats the perminance of a thread on a message board saved to a small hard drive on a server somewhere.

Ahh.. I'm too sleep deprived to read inline sarcasm tags. Tomorrow, I'll put out a new version of me that can. Chris ver. 17.8.6. I will also re-support the marquee and the blink tag.

Alright guys, back to topic. Squirrelrock brought up a valid suggestion and we owe it to him to give our insight and opinions into it.
