1168774 2011-01-11 21:05:00 Those bad-boys were pioneered long before trademe - They were popular on IRC-based file-sharing networks. A person would have a script that would update the channel - really just an "I'm still here" type of thing - and the predominant script for that was (and still is) OmenServ, which had the option of putting custom headers and footers in your update message. Thus, you would end up with something like:

(¯`*•.¸.•`*•.¸ Copyright? ¸.•*`•.¸.•*`¯) Type: !nickname <filename> to download. So far today 15 files have been sent to 12 different people (¯`*•.¸.•`*•.¸ Sharing 24/7 ¸.•*`•.¸.•*`¯)

Interesting. You learn something each day.

1168780 2011-01-12 02:39:00 I hadn't noticed the asterisks, but I am a little annoyed with the prevalence of brackets in the media these days. Totally overused in my opinion. Too much of any type of symbols in a body of text are distracting and don't add to the ease of reading. dugimodo (138)
1168781 2011-01-12 02:51:00 ^ What *exactly* do you mean (I don't read often mind you) --Wolf-- (128)
