i really hate it when people overly use .............
it makes me mad, just so everbody knows, its everywhere.
on my computer screen i see ...... 7 TIMES!
i think it is stupid, i hope it is not flaming

I agree totally. It shows a disrespect for the forums and those who use them. Maybe a moderator could start taking it on as a form of spam.

I hope not.

i think it is spam, or at least if you use it like this,
hi........ i am ilikepieyum........ who are you?........
my alliance is E~A.......... slash is a guy who has cookies......... zorg is cool..........
wow.......... dots are cool.......... cool......... wow...........

seriously, some posts are like that, it should stop.
IT IS ANNOYING AND HARD TO READ!!!!!!!!!!!!

its like ahsan with no periods, EXCEPT THE OPPOSITE!!!!

Well, I for one use it for exageration. Like if you intend a pause for a little more time than a comma I write .............

The correct usage would be ...

Not .................

Dramatic pause should be limited to one per post. You can also use a dash in place of ...

Pie is right. Its very annoying.

that is what ONE period is for

But if its in the middle of a sentence..........you can't really just end it.


I ADMIT, I use periods a LITTLE too much, and I'll try to tone it down a little.............happy? (No humor or annoyance intended.)

Why not just three periods? It conveys the same message... and doesn't make you look like you're being annoying on purpose.

Hmmmmmm.

Well, its a habbit. But for the sake and sanity of the community, I will use ... whenever I can.

Sorry for the trouble.
