Mac Theming News Article Written As Joke

Lighten up please

I have edited the Mac theming article about ShapeShifter from the front page.  It was written tongue-in-cheek but everyone got way up in arms over it.

It was a joke.

Chill out.

Guess that explains why I can't read that article anymore.

It's so hard to determine sarcasm over the web....

Seems there's no room for tongue-in-cheek on a "Professional Skinning Site". Best leave it to all those "Unprofessional" ones.

Let me get this straight. You created a new thread to let everyone know you were joking about another thread?
Overkill....
If I did this, I would be beaten and whipped, probably by an Admin.

Good one.


Surprised smiley suggests an explanation is required. The Joe User is Joke User thread began as something completely different but got hijacked by a bunch of demented forum miscreants (ringleader, me) and thus became a conversation, social interaction thread based on pirate type humour.....

Mistress Jennifer is the occifer in charge of discipline and administers the cat o' nine tails to miscreants who miscreant just a tad too much...a cruise on over there'd probably explain it better - fill in the blanks.

Sorry, I don't have all the smiley explanations down yet. I'll have to google to find out what they're all are meant for. Hope I used the right smiley there. Come on, I'm joking.....

Anyways, the Oohhhhh smiley, was meant as what my face would look like if I went to Mistress Jennifer. Get it? Being beaten and wipped?   Sorry, wrong one.  

And "good one" meant I knew exactly what you meant. It was funny.  

And as for Joe User. As long as I've been here, if I don't know what it is, you'll ask me for the address of the cave I've been living in.

Not to worry Z71....text & smiley communications don't/can't always convey the intended message, so yeah it can become somewhat confusing at times....and that's not hard for me....at all

Well you almost got it right first time with , but you definitely got it wrong with . It should have been cos Mistress Jennifer 'aves tha cat o' nine stuff down to a fine art....an' if ye be inta a bit o B & D, ye'll 'ave ta join tha queue cos thar be an 'ole crew awaitin' thar turn fer a whippin'
