I wrote a tool that makes me post in rainbow. Bearing through the risk of looking extremely gay, I actually kind of like it :)

If you ever, EVER use that in cold blood I will be forced to come down your intertubes and strangle you.

On the other hand... It is kinda hypnotic...

I'm using it on a different forum as a social experiment if I can be taken seriously when I post every post in rainbow. Things got out of hand, and someone posted an ascii Mona Lisa. Then I just had to one-up him, so I made the mona lisa in ascii art with a rainbow hue over it. I was going to show it, but the character limit here is only a third of what it is over there, so I can't...

it took me about 5 hours to read through that because its so hypnotizing, especiall because my ipod was playing jimi hendrix at the same time :) talk about zoning out...

who... whoa...

Must. Avert. Gaze!

That's a neat looking tool could you post a Download link because it's hard to do it manually , thanks T3rminator

Here's the script. It's not really user-friendly though... it takes the text on the clipboard and replaces it with the bbcode'd text.

Thanks , is that code for VB6 or another coding program ?

Python

Python is awesome. I love you.
