its taking the fun out of them. you have to go out of your way to stretch a window to pull an emoticon that isnt really an emoticon but just a side show. its just plain dumb. chainsaws bananas and freaky dancers that look gayer than the guy on the cingular commercials. and also the match up threads in the nba rooms. you get 10 games a night combine all 10 threads you get about 15 views. we voted to get rid of them now we got a ghost moderator posting them but to make it worse they are not bolded red so they just serve as clutter. . . .it was asked how to improve the rx that is just my 2 cents. here is an emoticon i suppose it can mean anything
