I like how Wikipedia has redirects for nearly all of those symbols.

I'm not sure whether it's hilarious or racist.

Didn't it come from a Japanese blog where a creepy stalker dude kept using that emoticon?

yeah, prefect, as bad as your posting is, at least you're not the worst poster on the forums

Wait, what? How the hell does "userd" confuse the forums into doing that.

e: oh it just discards it and defaults to your own profile.

How does it effect quotes? That's what confuses me, when I quote it, my userid shows..

That's not your userid, it's not even a valid user id (" Specified user was not found in the live forums. "), if you look closely it says "userd" instead of "userid" so it just discards it internally.

If you enter your profile the "proper" way you can see your actual userid.

e: it's a wonderful trick

vvv I've never seen it before and I've been here a while :v:

vvv

It's a good thing no one is trying to explain. Injoking in the Outing the injokes thread, how delightfully meta!

Surely something relevant to the Bird Crazies.

I recently asked about this in the PYF birds thread:

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:

A PI bird thread regular bought it and then an admin changed it to a slightly bigger version. It's from a set of budgie stickers on Facebook, and it's for when you're stoked. That's pretty much it.

is like a lovely version of this emoji for whatever reason

What's up with the Assless chaps gang tag? I've seen it with something about the AGDQ Awful Block - I'm guessing it has something to do with the SA thread for this year's AGDQ?

Antivehicular posted:

I dunno about the thread, but this year's Awful Block featured a game where the out-of-bounds glitch the runners were exploiting also caused the main character's rear end/groin region to disappear. Said main character is the little turbaned dude in the gangtag.

That's pretty much the whole story. The AGDQ chat thread went bonkers during the awful block and some ideas for a gang tag were posted so we put them together and people bought it. v :v:

Where does the "assless chaps" tag come from? To me it looks like a pokemon with a dude's face slapped on top.

It's from the AGDQ 2018 thread. During the awful games block, one of the games featured a really glitchy and terrible game where one of the exploits used caused the character (the dude in the tag)'s rear end to disappear. The arms, fish, etc. are from other games played during the segment.

A couple of variations of the tag were also bought, in case you see them around :v:
