We could use spoiler tags.

[Slacker]

Aka, a code so when we put up a spoiler for something, a black box is over the text, and putting the mouse over the box reveals the text.

Just a suggestion. Something Awful does it, and it works quite well.

we used to have it back in the day....

we used to have it back in the day....

Was it spammed to death?

I also support this, because it's annoying to walk into a movie/game thread to find the whole plot surrounded by a useless

Spoiler

warning.

 

[Danimal]

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand.

>_>

But yeah, we used to have spoiler tags, I don't know why they were taken. :\

 

[Hectic Glenn]

They were removed because we hate people enjoying themselves, we like ruining things for people! muah

 

[Insano]

Who cares about the

Spoiler

tag...

They took away the /me command! /me I tell you!

 

[sabre0001]

I agree...Spoilers need to be brought back...

Along with the short-lived /me command...

 

[Zeus]

Bring them back please

 

[Operational]

You can always be creative

Spoiler (highlight to read)
Soylent Green is people
/Spoiler

Darth Vader is Luke's Father!

 

[Insano]

Darth Vader is Luke's father.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[SimonomiS]

Wasn't it something to do with a change in vBulletin?

 

[Crispy]

It can be done, we wrote in spoiler tags for our vBulletin forums.

 

[Dog--]

Lots of vBulletin forums do it, HL2.net is just trying to be cool by doing it "different".

HL2.net is a rebel, a rebel without a cause.

Wasn't it something to do with a change in vBulletin?

Yeah, version got updated and spoiler & /me command got removed in the process.

 

[Greatgat]

Put them back! /me is always fun.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Oh yes you are always good fun

 

[Parlez]

I think that it is a good idea. Put them back!

 

[Sulkdodds]

HL2.net is a rebel, a rebel without a cause.

Whaddya got?

 

[Drackard]

Indeed, i remember the Spoiler tags, they were damn useful, however i don't remember this /me command :S

 

[Darkangel]

what did the /me command comand do?

 

[Greatgat]

type /me opens one of his seven mouths

It would make:

* Greatgat opens one of his seven mouths

Like so, instead of typing it out with forum tags.

 

[Acepilotf14]

/me loves to eat chicken nuggets

 

[Apocalypse89]

I support the return of spoiler tags(even though I wasn't around for them in the first place).
