a question

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 05:46:36 PM

Okay, I'm going to try my best to explain this.

Okay. You know this emoticon: +> :lmao: and :duel: ALL the moving emoticons,

when nobody, and I mean nobody is viewing a topic with emoticions in them, do they still move?

or is one of those unexplainable things? :shrug:

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody's there to see it does it still make a sound?!?!? :huh?: :laugh:

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 07:16:28 PM

I know but I'm still wondering? does it keep going? :hmm:

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 07:21:12 PM

I don't know, I guess it's one of those unexplainable things! :lmao:

:blink:

Now you've got me wondering!!

Can we vote?? I vote that yes, they still move because that is what they are programmed to do!! :lol:

i knoiw it's scary, very weird. i mean, do they move..but how will we know?

Jenee · August 10, 2006, 07:30:22 PM

I think the question is, if no one is viewing a thread at any given point, does that thread even exist? Or does it only come into existance when someone clicks on it?

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 07:31:09 PM

Hmmm, I guess...I don't like to think...it makes my brain hurt! ;)

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 07:32:20 PM

hey, that's good. Like, what happens to the thread when no one is there? maybe the emoticons come alive, or maybe it.. only occurs at 23:00

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 07:34:12 PM

does anyone know how to fix your clock. mine is always off it says stuff like 13:00 when my computer clock says 3:00 :huh?:

Jenee · August 10, 2006, 07:41:33 PM

In your Profile (you mean the forum clock, right?)

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 07:43:32 PM

yes

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 07:44:08 PM

and the clock above your post

Windsor · August 10, 2006, 08:13:55 PM

No, the smilies and other images only work when a page is loaded.

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 08:15:36 PM

:cry: :cry: :cry: really? aww..my hopes..

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 08:22:20 PM

so I guess trees don't make sounds when they fall either :unsure:

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 08:23:07 PM

cookie_monster · August 10, 2006, 08:26:26 PM

polo_pony · August 10, 2006, 08:27:47 PM

Jenee · August 10, 2006, 08:33:19 PM

Actually I believe that's quite different. The tree that's falling still exists, it doesn't have to be loaded on a computer :laugh:

:teehee:

The emoticons only move when they are loaded on a web page - and only if the browser allows them to move.

Before that they are just files that no one is using.

polo_pony · August 21, 2006, 09:20:46 PM

:( Okay, thank you.

Thats too bad, it would be cool if they still moved... :happy:
