Something something Game of Thrones and A Story of Ice and Fire.
Ah, that. Everybody keeps saying that thing is great and quoting it and stuff but I still haven't read it. I guess I have to borrow the books and read them when I have some time. Or maybe just download the series and watch that.
@Radio Controlled: Tip: You can use the teletype
BB Code when you're drawing in ASCII. This disables kerning and makes all characters equally spaced, so that a space character is the same size as a letter.
It helps if you're using Notepad++ or some other application to edit and ensures that the images stays the same size if someone is using a not-default font for their browser or if they're viewing it from their phone.
Example:
Hello World!
!
Hello World!
!
[tt]
Hello World!
![/tt]
Hello World!
!As you can see, the code
BB Code automatically applies teletype to its content. It also keeps the text in the same line you put it in regardless of screen size, making it even better for the job if you aren't using colours (since all BB Code inside the code tag is ignored.).
So this:
AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
becomes this:
AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
which is again very useful if you're viewing this from a device with a small screen. (If you're viewing this in some sort of freakishly huge screen, just make the browser window smaller and my point should become apparent.)
Someone should make some sort of forum quirks and tips page and sticky it somewhere so I can dump all this useless info I've got on my brain about the Bay12forums usage. Because some of this may be useless or useful in very limited situations, but some things like the fact that you can't unlock polls are things people should know.
