white font on neoboards is no more :)

Wed Aug 18, 2004 3:05 am

muahaha, tnt listens ;) and now people are running around with pale yellow fonts and acid green fonts *sigh* :(

but yay! no more white! and less highlighting until the neoboarders figure out whats happened! :P a classic response to the "agh!! white is banned!" topics is: "what? but my font is white, look!" lol ;)

hehe...it's about time they do something about the white font. it looks dumb on TNT if they ban glowing fonts but allow white fonts.

Sadly, it's not fully working. People are using color codes like #FFFCFC (which is a pixel different from white, which is #FFFFFF) to use the white font. Now, half the neoboarders are bragging how they can use invisible font and others can't. And they're sharing how to do it too.

It's a nice attempt, TNT, but it's doing the inverse of the expected results.

Nasty Neoboard cheaters! :x How can they wreck a good think like that?

They're only hurting themselves. I mean, how dumb is this:

them: "*makes stupid laugh*, no one can see ma font!!"

the rest of us: "Oh yeeeah! You've fooled us!! How brilliant you are!!" :thinking:

I wouldn't mind if they just went back to plain fonts

Lol, I'd like that. It was annoying enough when people had glowing/white fonts (I use Mozilla 8) ) What's wrong with normal fonts? It's annoying to highlight each page so I can read what the posts say.

I don't even go to the neoboards. Every time I have, I've never seen anything useful, just a bunch of horrible spellers, mean-spirited little losers, liars, and report-happy posters. And I can't stand the hard-to-read fonts or the signatures peope use -- the sigs always look like part of the post, so you've got something like this:

*i luv baby pets*i have the new avvie and u dont*i luv baby pets*

It drives me crazy.

there are always ways to annoy us...it all depends if those protestors see that it is meaningless. TNT could just allow only dark fonts and these people would post in mini-fonts next. they should know when to stop...it's not like they are actually losing their hard-earned stuff

Hmm, I think TNT should just disallow font formatting altogether- perhaps add a drop down menu for colours (all readable) at most. Or if they must insist on all these fancy formats, perhaps drop down menus for every possible option.

I was gonna suggest changing the background to a different color like on here but then I realized they would just have to find the code to that color too.... wow... lost the smartness for a minute :D

These "protests" are so ridiculous. They are actually making themselves more limited rather than getting more options. With each protest, another option is taken away becuase these people think they are so clever and show what they can do next. If they just stayed quiet and appreciated what they did have, they wouldn't lose anything else.

Silly neoboarders. ;)

Yay! I like it this way. ^-^ No more fancy fonts. =] Well, I do feel sad for the PetPages that have Pre-Made fonts...

That would be a really good idea. >_< I wish that they would do that - I think I'll send in a suggestion forum about it.
