Yeah, just make sure you don't say anything that I might want to read in another color. I'll just save myself the annoyance and skip your posts.

Use green text though when you're being sarcastic about something because I have a problem knowing when people are being sarcastic on here. And no, I'm not being sarcastic right now. Seriously.

Colored text is dumb. I have nothing against people who want to use it denote sarcasm or whatever, but a simple one of these  is an efficient enough way to say you are being sarcastic after a silly remark.

It's hard to tell if people are sarcastic when you're reading something they typed, so we did the sarcastic bits in green text.
Like... I love coconuts.
Sad example, but in reality I really really hate coconuts.

The green text thing is nWo only. It started when Pandajuice thought I was serious about being pissed that someone spoiled the end of Good Luck Chuck. I don't like the  tag, so I said I wish we could have a sarcasm font like we do in the IRC. Thus, sarcasm text was born.
I still don't like using it, but it's better than a big tagline after it that completely ruins the joke.
EDIT: Oh look, I found where it started: http://www.sydlexia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=250878#250878

Fuck that, misread sarcasm is probably the funniest part about the forums.

Well, a lot of tastes get to me too. But consistency definitely play a huge part in it. I am probably the pickiest eater in the world--to the point where most people stare at the changes I make to my food. And I only eat like... 10 things. Vegetables and most fruits are a no-no.
I could go on, but... who cares?

I really just don't like coconut. Consistency is sort of a weird thing to dislike.

I like coconut flavored things, but I hate shredded coconut. I think it's because it feels like I'm chewing on small pieces of plastic, hence, the consistency sucks.

I'm in the middle of casting. That guy that might as well be Michael Cera but isn't Michael Cera will be reprising his role alongside Woody Harrelson, but I am having troubles getting Emma Stone since I sexually assaulted her on the set of her new movie.

They should get Mel Gibson as their big cameo. I hear he's available. Mel Gibson screaming that he hopes Emma Stone gets ripped apart by a pack of zombies, only to have it happen to him would be classic. And then they steal his Road Warrior car.
