Ive been on a couple forums where they use actual words as their bb codes.

Like if you say the word Thanks in your post it will show up as:

instead.



Do you think this is a good idea or annoying?

I know one that is a few years old and its still going strong. However its just a proboards forum with a small group of friends who enjoy the sparkly stuff.

Yes, I think I have an idea of where you are talking about..and somehow, they've attracted others just like it on other hosts and they are pretty big as well. One had all sparkly images, even in the board descriptions. I had to disable images, and animations to navigate the forum. The people there are very nice, and so, I don't mind disabling images and animations since the people there are very nice.
