OP would throw up if they saw internet forums before the 2010s

Op here-

I did not know there was a paintbrush to remove formatting. My hatred still stands. I will destroy them all.

i kinda miss those days... the custom mouse + mouse trail was pretty disorienting tho, and finding a custom color/shape mouse on a visually busy page that's suddenly blasting music at you?? holy hell. ok maybe i don't miss them lol nvm

DA

I think something can be worse in the past, but still be bad and annoying when it is less bad now.

Not OP, but honestly, having lived through that?

That is why I dislike colored posts NOW. Because it brings back the bad memories of when it looked like a paintbucket threw up all over my screen and everything was flashing and blinking and for some reason, music just started blasting out of my speakers at random intervals (ah, the joys of slow internet :P)

(just for clarity, this is *mostly* a joke, I ignore people who have different colored font, unless it is something I can't read, then I get annoyed and THEN ignore them)

I can't tell you how much I prefer boring forums today instead of the glitter fest.
