I really miss having the jimlad pirate to mark my sarcasm. And I thought maybe a poll would be a good way to let CW and the other powers-that-be about how much we want this feature.

Seems odd that people open this thread, but then vote for "Don't care." Maybe they are just being sarcastic?

We could also just have a vote to officially assign one of the current emojis as the new sarcasm indicator if the jimlad cannot make a comeback

I was just reading an article the other day about the "sarcmark":

It is supposed to be a punctuation item to indicate sarcasm.

(I am not being sarcastic in that I was reading an article about little-used punctuation.)

I prefer to look forward rather than dwell upon the past. Jimlads are just a reminder of the old CF. This is the new CF and we should be free to develop new traditions.

/jimlad/


You mean the old CF with a gazillion different versions of the jimlad? Ah, the good ol' days.

But the new site is such an improvement. :rolleyes:
