This is a test...

This thread has been created to test forum members' self control and scatterbrain resistance levels. Similar experiments have been conducted on other forums, with varied results.

Emoticons are often considered to be irritants; are you able to not post one in this thread?

Test starts in 3...2...1...

 

[iOverflow]

Did, I, Pass?

 

[Vixe]

Oh, thank God. For a moment I thought that I might have a chance of failing.

 

[Prometheus]

Emoticons? What's that?

 

[Necuno]

This is a test...

This is not

 

[James]

Wat is this I don't even...?

 

[Strategist01]

Yeah, until a sarcasm font is made, I'm going to have to use a colon followed by an Upper or Lower case "p".

 

[sycogrim]

ah crap does this mean I'm not allowed to post emoticons?? :'-(

 

[DenSweeP]

I'm more disturbed by Syco's avatar than any emoticons.

 

[Sgt]

I feel obliged to help you find them, but I mustn't step on Juice's toes now :*(!

But really do people find emoticons (smilies) annoying?

 

[Leakysandwich]

The test is a lie!!

I don't! In fact I think they help a great deal in the interwebs! I mean how else do you convey sarcasm or jokes over the net?
The one time Juice was being sarcastic with me regarding racism and I thought he was serious because of the lack of ""! Lol!

Excessive use of emoticons are just childish.

I'd like to direct your attention to this:

 

[PaPaRaZZ!]

:wtf::wtf::wtf:

FAIL!

 

[to0kenZA]

This is a test. And you have passed!

 

[HavocXphere]

are you able to not post one in this thread?

Yes I am able to. Doesn't mean I will though. Consequently I can pass the test *and* post an emoticon.
