OK, I was with you up until the point that you referred to me as 'needless'.

I have needs

Special needs?

I think the answer to that question is theoretically a matter of relativity.

It implies that we at TTA only support/care about/welcome coffee drinkers and all other assorted beverage drinkers can fuck off.

Luckily I think there is a simple solution to what can only be described as a gross negligence stain against my forum rights to belong to a community that accepts me as me and not for the morning beverage I choose to partake in drinking.
I propose two solutions that would solve this pressing issue and silence the heated debate once and for all.

1) The coffee emoticon be changed to :assorteddrinks:

OR

2) More emoticons be included to cover tea, hot coco, orange juice etc..

Your thoughts and opinions are welcome, but I'm hyped up on spring water and I'll probably face palm when I see this thread in the morning and never check it again.

How do we know the cup isn't full of hot tea..or cocoa? well besides the obvious name of coffee for the icon I like my cup better anyway

We need more hobo emoticons. For example...

1. Hobo with a parasol
2. Hobo with a lightsaber
3. Hobo with a cookie
4. Hobo with a security blanket
5. Hobo riding an intergalactic nom-nom worm
6. Etcetera, etcetera...

I forgot one. And it is...

1. Hobo with a hot babe at his side

Can we miniaturise a pic of HouseofCantor and his Gwynnies?

I had to look up what an *emot* is.

I just wanted to point out that coffee is not a "morning beverage" coffee can be enjoyed all throughout the day. I mostly like it black or with a splash of milk.

It creates a painful cognitive dissonance within my soul as I have to tell myself it's really hot choc or teh halia in that cup when deep down I know that it's coffee.

My preference would be for option 1.
So th emoticon remains the same but : coffee : to be changed to

(:assorteddrinks: is too long to type)

Yes, I approve very much of

And that cognitive dissonance that you suffer every time you wish to indulge in using ;coffee: is exactly the sort of thing you, as a forum user, should not have to tolerate.

It is stories like these, with fellow forum members needlessly suffering, that wound me deeply and inspire me to stand up to the oppressive regime KC and Rora run with an iron fist.

I ask them, how can they as human beings live with themselves knowing that needless forum members suffer in silence because they choose not to act. They choose to live in willful ignorance of you the people's suffering. While you work hard keeping this forum alive with your daily activity they sit in their admin only sub-forum sipping coffee looking down on you with disgust. But what they fail to realize is that, like a building, a forum relies upon a strong foundation. That foundation is you the people and YOU have the power. As individuals we are weak, but as a united force we are strong and even KC and Rora cannot defeat us!
So I implore you, PM KC and Rora, tweet #changecoffeetocup, spam the moderator section with threads on your thoughts about their oppression.
Together we can take back the forum and give it back to you the people! We will end the needless suffering!

Change :coffee: to please and end the violence.
Think of the children! Oh god why wont anyone think of the children!?

I'll give YOU iron fist...


...and I like tea
