I think the point was there's nothing wrong with it, but it seems a bit unnecessary.

[Graknorke]

Do you do that a lot? Honestly haven't seen it before.

This is the firsts time I've seen it but looking through his post history he uses it a lot.

Then let the newbie do it, I'd say.  If they want to make more work for themselves and have a different text color than the rest of us, there's no reason they can't, and no real reason to judge them for doing so.  I've seen forums where that kind of thing is relatively commonplace.

It depends which iteration of me is online at the moment.  This iteration disappeared for quite a while before resurfacing recently with this text color.

]really though we all know  there is one true way of colouring text

Yeah, having an identifying text colour is a bit... well.

But when a longtime forum resident does it, it's okay?  Because I've yet to receive complaints about my use of this text.  Amused comments, yes, but no complaints.

You have a glow.  I don't think glows are complaint worthy.  Text colors can be unreadable depending on which theme you have.
But really, I don't care so long as the color isn't transparent.

They did say they were looking for a color that wouldn't mess with themes, did they not?

Personally, no. I think it's quite silly you do it as well. Pointless snowflake-y stuff.
But since it hadn't come up in conversation previously, I hadn't gone out of my way to mention it, because I don't care that much.

This, however, is not one of those forums, and praise Jesus for that.

Instead, this is a forum with gianthuge threads that would've gotten chopped into 852 parts by now to be less forum-dominating in their post-containing amounts elsewhere.

[4maskedwolf]

Mmm.  I think we should probably drop the subject of text color, otherwise we might convince the newbie we're much more draconian than we really are.

My happy for today is that... damn it, now I have to think.  I guess that I got to meet a newbie?  Idk.  IRL isn't the greatest right now.  I guess that I got to take a nap is good.

Being an oldfag doesn't excuse anything, and there really isn't a difference between a glow and a color. If your personality consists of seniority and colorful text, you might want to relocate to the Roblox forums.

I can't tell whether you're being serious or not.  That post of mine was highly sarcastic.

[Graknorke]

do not remind me of those dark times
i'm only glad that i've changed my online username since then

And yeah text colours are pretty insufferable. They don't add anything and are just kind of ugly. This isn't Tumblr.

[TheBiggerFish]

I was of the opinion that we mostly don't care about individual idiosyncracies.  Eh, whatever.

Yeah, there's really not any benefits.

If you post interesting stuff, people will remember you, obnoxious coloured text or not. Aim for that instead, perhaps.
