Do you use them a lot in your posts? Do you think they are necessary on a forum?

 

[Tyler]

I sometimes. And they aren't really necessary, but they are fun to use.

 

[DrLeftover]

Overused, they get tiresome quickly.

 

[Evil Eye]

I use them. I guess they're not absolutely necessary. They're a good way too add a little bit of emotion to a post though.
Either that or writing posts the way books are written... which seems excessive in this case.

I think they are fun to have, and it doesn't leave a forum look all plain. But sometimes they get over used and it can get annoying.

 

[Sinon]

I don't bother using them. Sometimes they pop up without me planning on using them though.

What's wrong with writing books?

 

[Bryd0]

Only need them if necessary. I always used them when I was younger but now, hardly use them.

And this post didn't contain any.

Nothing, except it's a little more work than writing an average post.
