I've been wondering for a while if I'm the only person not using certain functions of the forum, like the buddy lists or the messaging. Am I weird ir normal? Somebody tell me!
Um, okay: You're normally pretty weird. :teddyr:
There are a lot of functions I don't use, some I use occasionally, some I use all the time. I don't use the buddy lists. I occasionally use the personal messaging. If I need a function, I use it. If I don't need it, someone else may. It all works out.
I don't use messaging or buddy lists either. So if you're weird, I'm weird.
The problem is everyone seems to think I'm weird for liking bad movies. So, now that I'm in the company of those who share my weird tastes, I have to wonder whether I'm weird among the weirdos?
I think we're all wonderfully weird.
Karma to the both of you, and Derf, yeah, I am normally weird. I also eat really loud and leave a lot of crumbs, but thats a topic for another thread.
I've used the buddy lists a bit... I've buddied people I like but they don't seem to buddy me back... (or.. that sounds bad...)
But I have exchanged messages with a few people. It's weird, I consider most people on this forum friends or sorts, but I honestly wouldn't know ANY of you from Adam if we were to pass each other on the street. I'm hoping that some of you know me enough from my posts that you consider me a friend as well, but I'm thinking maybe I'm just so desperate for social interaction I would call just about anyone who replies to one of my posts "friend".
As for stuff I don't use... well, never really needed the Table function for a post yet.. never bothered with sup sub buttons, or the insert FTP link (do people USE FTPs anymore other than uploading stuff to a homemade website?)
Don't think I've ever changed the font type, added glow, shadow, used marquee, and only a few times have I changed the font color. A lot of this is strictly cause I'm lazy, and usually post to say something rather than be fancy. Although occasionally I format stuff with italics and bold.
Maybe I'll post in purple for awhile, just for fun.
Wait, never mind, that's damn hard to read...
Maybe lime green.
Ahh.. dunno.. be better if it was just a wee bit brighter...

I TRIED to come up woth something witty, but failed.
I've used messaging once in a while, but thats about all. I have no buddies (sniff), and I don't really even look at whole areas of the site. I'm not really into multimedia, I'd rather read than listen or watch something. If I'm on a news site, like CNN or something, I will always skip over video stories.
