Wasn’t there originally restrictions on size etc with forum titles? Or am I just getting old and senile...

Can't imagine it being to hard to add to the BBCode system considering it gives you the embed code on each post.[/QUOTE] If you post the HTML embed stuff in a pastebin I'll take a look and see if I can add it

[QUOTE=Scratch.;53090395]SNIP[/QUOTE] I guess one thing I forgot to consider is that the character limit may have been even more restricted in booster, but it's not important any more

I can't believe birdman is fucking dead

[QUOTE=Birdman101;53091318]Oh come on, youre the first person ive seen complain about this in years.[/QUOTE] Likely because back then, everyone who did complain and got told to suck it up (attitudes were different a few years ago towards obnoxious titles) went and used CSS replacements to make all of the big fuck off huge titles into small 6~8px scaled ones. Hell the dark theme replacer [I]includes a CSS override for excessively large titles.[/I] To be honest, because of the use of the CSS replacement I completely forgot some of you still have 32px font titles that eat entire pages.

[QUOTE=Reagy;53091644][...] To be honest, because of the use of the CSS replacement I completely forgot some of you still have 32px font titles that eat entire pages.[/QUOTE] Holy shit, I just noticed this, I thought people just grew up or something.

I can see how large titles can be a pain for touchscreen and scrollwheel users, don't notice them myself because I use the scrollbar and pgup/pgdown.

Can smartness and autobans come back, but only for "dood"?

[QUOTE=zakedoodead;53092184]Can smartness and autobans come back, but only for "dood"?[/QUOTE] do people keep mistyping your name

[QUOTE=EE 20 D0;53091670]I can see how large titles can be a pain for touchscreen and scrollwheel users, don't notice them myself because I use the scrollbar and pgup/pgdown.[/QUOTE] It's not even just a scrolling issue, they just look stupid. Big titles are almost as obnoxious as early 00's forum signatures.

Speaking of titles, I remember when I first stumbled upon this site and was initially conflicted as to whether or not it was some far-right forum - mainly because a whole bunch of people had "faggot" in their title. It wasn't until I did more research that I realized it was all tongue in cheek, and the site was actually welcoming of gay people. That being said, I do remember seeing more anti-semitism years back. At one point, someone posted a racist caricature of a jew in a topic about Israel (you know the image I'm talking about), and while he did get banned, he also got a whole bunch of funnies. Thankfully, Facepunch has moved more and more progressive over time, and doesn't really tolerate that kind of shit anymore.

I'm migrating my account over to Newpunch but someone has already nabbed my username, I don't really want to have to use numbers or any other extension for my username. Sure would be nice if the migration process allowed you to reclaim your original name.

I'm a better person for it.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53091368]It could be worse.[/QUOTE] I was at least happy with not having any title at all - it was just my name. Then the fire nation attacked and I was left with this scar.

On a more serious note, I think Facepunch has been getting pretty liberal pretty quickly lately- but I don't think it's been as gradual as you make it out to be, it's been going on more like the last year or so (basically "post-Trump" I guess). But yeah, the forums have moved a lot, don't think the "Sanius Squad" would actually look that out of place these days. But I honestly don't think you need to put "apparently" in parentheses. Facepunch might've become more explicitly liberal/PC lately, but the amount of Nazis on this site has always been pretty low. I think it's a case of the user base growing up - at least personally I've gotten more selective with my jokes as I've aged, but I don't think that's really grounded in me changing my attitude towards any racial or religious groups. Likewise I don't think Facepunch's (for the most part) ever had any truly malicious attitude when it comes to stuff like that. It's just a bunch of fucking around, and now people have grown more sensitive/aware when it comes to those subjects.

The Sanius squad still looks insane by facepunch's liberal standards, those people were fucking nuts.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;53094388] But I honestly don't think you need to put "apparently" in parentheses. [/QUOTE] I do, because I was one of those people that used to make some of those (absolutely shithead) jokes, and one of my compatriots was DainBramageStudios, AKA Mr. "Breivik Was Right".
