Thread titles

Hey guys and gals. We've had snags and bumps about spelling and grammar in the past, but it's come to a point where even Ben's asked us to work on it.

We don't want to be too invasive, and Ben's OK with typing fast in a post, but all he wants you to do is work on making those titles a little neater. Spruce up the look of the forum. You never know, the forum police might come, see the topics and shut us down!!!1!1 WTF? OMG_SPLOSION!

The mods will fix a few every now and then, but try and do it yourselves, OK? Just the titles. Be concise. Sate what the subject is and as much as you can in about 5-8 words. For instance, if I has a computer whose mouse would stop working every once in a while, turning off altogether, my topic title would be "Funky mouse turns off on it's own!" Then explain further in your thread. Or if I found a cool new controller for the GC, my topic title would be "New Zealware GC controller, pics!"

Good luck!

EDIT: This announcment has been brought back for obvious reasons.

Just thought I'd mention that the thread has been changed a tiny bit, for those that have already looked but didn't know there was an edit

Sounds good! I'll be sure to follow that when I start making threads

I thought it was Aspellfox? Guess I'll have to see if I can get that one too.

For those that want to try Aspellfox it's here.

Because I've made 60000 threads (sarcasm you shmoes), I'll cut down and try using real words in my titles. Wish me luck!

I was kind of happy about the spelling and grammar rules before, not as if it stopped CERTAIN PEOPLE *coughgamemastercough* from typing horribly.

Why no me not use gramurr?

Seriously, I type alright most of the time, right? The only thing I find wrong with my typing is the occasional misspelled word and my disgraceful overuse of commas (which are promptly deleted before I hit "submit"). There are a few people here though whose typing ability seems to be limited to lower-case letters, sans punctation.

ok like i got a noac its cool what can i do with it

*whacks with exorcism stick*
Baaad!

Yes, I too have the same problem. For some reason all of my text contains way to many comma's. Just to check also, Which is better 'Spellbound' or 'Aspellfox' (Or whatever the last one was recomended).

Yes, I can read it. It's amazing what tortures the human mind can endure.

The whole I-type-like-I've-had-a-stroke-and-you-can-still-read-it thing it really old. You seriously just discovered it?
