Isn't it chat time now? Anyone know why it isn't open? Is it simply that Greg is the only person who can start it and he's not around today for some unknown reason?

Next time, i am going to chat about low IQ values with you
I want to benefit from your expert advice on the subject

Moonbear has entered chat
Moonbear (8:54 PM): Hi everyone!
Moonbear (8:55 PM): Is Greg okay? No chat and no word?

Evo: Hey MB!

Greg was here last night, no explanation of what happened. I take it he was abducted by something called "friends" and was trapped in a car with them.

How dare he! Greg isn't allowed to have a life...us PFers are WAY too dependent on him for ours!

SEE, the smilies have moved again!

OK, did some research.

They are always in the same order, but the first one changes.

Sorry for the picture size.

For as long as you folks have been around here, don't you have the codes for the smilies memorized yet? It's faster for me to just type them in than to go hunt down the menu and click on them.

No, I haven't bothered to remember the codes, because the last time I rememebred them, Greg changed them. :devil:
 
  • #110


The codes have never been any different than they are right now... :rolleyes:
 
  • #111


I don't think the codes have changed in 5 years...that was the great smiley mutiny when Greg tried to use some other set of smilies. :biggrin:
