Popular Post DakotaHale Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 Let's test this one out a few days and see if it sticks. I expect it to mostly be used by the younger people here. Only gives +1 at the moment, similar to like and thanks and laugh. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think @Patine should be able to create an emoji, something that would stand in for his standard reaction, whatever that might be. This way he doesn't have to actually respond, he can just post it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not completely sure what "based" is, but I get the general gist of it, so I'm okay with it. I'm just trying to think of what our based-like words were for the late 1990s early 2000s that older people would have been clueless about. Maybe "bad" meaning "good" and "sick" not meaning sick or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of disingenuous tomfoolery must be opposed to all who value frank and honest discourse. My convictions of finding overuse of emotes to the point of obnoxiousness, and my feeling of being subtly mocked, must make me object. This is my favorite Patine post of the week! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m aware it can have other meanings in other contexts, but on this forum I usually just take it to mean a combination of “cool” and “I agree.” 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to figure out how to do so, I think I remember seeing the ability to limit certain emotes but I can't seem to find it at the moment, so temporarily it is functioning as a 'like' button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
