Rayman Pirate-Community

What ^ mentioned which <'s glad is more of a thing nowadays and < also thinks that the offtopic threads have been very helpful towards supporting that, a lot of other forums have them too but it seems to < they're usually not as active as here.

< thinks that's a good point, and < wonders why that is. Somehow Rayman fans keep coming back and using the off topic section, but you never see it that often even on highly popular forums with a lot more members.

< agrees that the off-topic section has always been a strong pillar of this place. It's allowed our users to connect beyond simply being Rayman fans, and this creates a great sense of community.

< thinks it's nice actually, that way people can discuss other common interests too.

< seen an old episode of Family Fortunes the other day, and a contestant playing big money was asked to name a popular British TV soap, only for her to reply with "Dove", then immediately realise she made a huge mistake.

< just heard that Velma from Scooby-Doo will be getting her own series at some point…

< sees ^ uses ‘proper’ ellipses too.

< only does it when < is at <'s PC. "Alt Gr + ;", it's much more convenient than tapping out three dots

< never did that because they look the same, but that's nice to know nevertheless.

Oh, and nice to know "Alt Gr and -" makes – too!

Yep, that's how < keeps using all those fancy characters in <'s posts

< uses fancy punctuation all the time. Heck, <’s phone converts punctuation automatically!

<'s punctuation and grammar improved a lot over the years. < actually used to have terrible punctuation; < looked back at forums from when < was younger, and < used to use absolutely no punctuation, along with all lowercase letters.

< finds a certain pleasantness to reading all-lowercase text. unpunctuated text, on the other hand…

< was half-thinking of starting a playthrough of Portal 2 tonight, since it came out a decade ago today, but < ended up working really late instead.

< loves the Portal games, and it's also been a while since < played them.

< decided to open up Portal 2 anyway, and just picked a nice-looking chamber to play from recent publications to the Workshop. That was satisfying.

Haha!

< sees <’s not the only one!

< likes all-lowercase too, unpunctuated text and text where the punctuation is in the wrong place or filled with commas in places where there's no need for them however is quite annoying.

< is pretty sure they don't look the same to Fifo, he has a keen attention to detail.

< guesses it depends on the font rendering. In code comments, the Unicode ellipsis really doesn't do the job, since it's only a character wide!

< says that there are minor spacing differences between them: …...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...…...

See?

Yeah, < tends to avoid them in monospaced fonts!

< can't even see anything about the spacing on <'s 2k monitor, but it's very noticeable on <'s phone. < can just see this on <'s PC.
Not saying you can't distinguish it but it's a lot harder to notice than on <'s phone.
