Still begging

You think they can fix this?

its a bbcode bug right

The tag is a custom tag that was added by the site admin(s) (one of the cool things about BBCode is the ability to make custom tags; the [media] tag is also a custom tag, I believe), which also means they can remove/deactivate them. I do not know what purpose they were made to serve, but that is the only logical way they could have come into being.

It's probably for ease of use by the admins. As all of our posts are surrounded by tags without us typing them. Our sigs too. So, they'd probably just make it an admin only function.

I don't see how it could make anything easier for anyone. The only use we've found so far is breaking pages. They might have it surround posted text in their database, but that would make removing its functionality a big mess. They'd have to remove all instances of it in the database (otherwise the tags would show up in all previous posts) and string comparison of that magnitude could take a long time. Not to mention the fact that they'd have to reconfigure how posts are handled. That is not a project anyone I know would look forward to.

 

I'm guessing there's some special use for it that we have not found yet because setting yourself up for a mess like the project described above is just downright bad horrific coding. It's either that or, more likely, the only reason it has not been removed yet is the very fact that they don't want to face such a project (the fact that it has not been used anywhere but here also helps, but just the potential for anyone to break a bunch of pages is not cool when you're a site admin).

 

:ugeek:

 

Tell me if I'm over-analyzing this. As a geek and a nerd, I never can tell when I'm over-analyzing anything. Also, if I'm missing anything obvious here, let me know. I also have a tendency to miss obvious things when analyzing issues with multiple unknowns.

It's possible that they added it innocently without knowing that it was capable of breaking pages. I'm not sure how likely it is that they would have tested all of the tags for page breaking properties but they could have overlooked somehow. They probably never anticipated that some people would decide to test out random codes one day.

Meanwhile, searching for good references of who's face.

He deserves a medal for having the balls to make a video of himself doing the caramelldansen.

or a slap in the face for being dumb enough to.

Slap him in the face with a medal. But have him put some clothes on first.

Who are you to question the memetic value of shirtless Who in /FG/?

 

Who, i beg you to pm me that code again >.>

Just for saving purposes, i wont post it.

I'll post it again if we ever need it.

That's possible, pig.

 

I'm still curious as to what it's actual intended use was, though. Having it in each post in the database is a bit redundant considering each post (likely) has a unique id that can be used to pull out just that post. Oh, well... I'll probably never know until an admin tells me and when that happens, they're likely to either have it fixed or be in the process of doing so.

I just noticed, this page is very slightly broken.

So what did you draw Who.

Oh, yeah. In the midst of drawing, my dad made me help him come shuck corn. When I came back, my computer was dead, because I forgot to plug it in. Lol.

I might redraw it at some point. It was like 10 minutes in is all.

Please pm it to me, you wont see me posting it anywhere

It was a google image search. However, the best one in the search was 5 over 3 down.

 

I do want to say, however, that I sometimes wish I was a girl so I could wear cat ears irl.

 

[hide][/hide]

You don't have to be a girl. nothing wrong with a guy wearing cat ears.

 

You're a strange one who, but to each his own.

 

Upon further consideration I think it takes a certain amount of strange to even post in forum games.

incorrect. very normal and average people post in forum games.

 

The one girl I've seen wear them got so many comments to the effect of "You're awesome" it's not funny.

be better if she was male.

 

Girls+cat ears=possibly cute

 

guys+cat ears=wtf are you doing

 

@ above video

 

not judging...

 

guy + cat ears = awesome

Please pm it to me, you wont see me posting it anywhere

The need for you to have this code just shows how much your going to abuse it.

 

Who. Just dont.

After last time? Nope, not happening.

<_<

Done.

 

GIMP?

Paint.net.

ah.

 

pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase?

Done.

 

 

I can't wait for Halo to see this.

No.

Ive found a thread about Halo

I just realized that since I have the first post on page 1000 I could break the majority of the page. :-k

...

 

Proto should break page one.
