WHAT POSTER DO YOU MISS THE MOST

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

It makes sense for everyone to put smileys on the end of posts if it is sarcastic, then you can know how someone intends their posts to be read

The reason why is because there is such a wide range of views on here, from one extreme to the other, so it's always possible that any comment could be meant seriously..... if you are not very aware of what a posters real views are likely to be...or how likely they are to use sarcasm or irony then you have to assume if it's not made obvious to the contrary they are being serious.. no matter how ridiculous it may seem to you.

Hello.

The smiley things are unneccessary - that is what punctuation is for!

...and I miss Quartz's post too.
