Mac Theming News Article Written As Joke
Lighten up please
Friday, December 1, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: Community
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.

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.

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.
