That's actually a pretty good idea. Maybe post it in the suggestions thread though?

Ah yes, I do believe I added that feature and it can be applied to specific boards as well if one-word posts aren't a problem in certain places (like confirming attendance for a tournament).

Doesn't sound like it would be a problem here and would eliminate a lot of the "okay" and "thanks" posts that take up a good portion of the page.

We can do it in terms of characters, but I do not think we can do it with words.

People can still do one word post in TSO's forum actually...

...Just put a space after one letter.

I don't think I've seen that happen often on AFW, neither here on the WBO. I'd say it's not really a problem. Both forums are looking sturdy, and even if it was a problem, like you've mentioned before, they could always just cheat the system by using spaces.

Nice idea, but I just think it might be pointless in the end.

While it can happen, I really do doubt anyone would do so. It should definitely still be added, though, even if some end up using spaces to post, which again, I doubt. It can stop others from making one-word posts, like confirming themselves on tournament threads, for say. This would be pretty useful; definitely not pointless overall.

My question is: Where did the "Hah" begin, Kai-V?

Why does she say "Hah" or "Haha"? Is that laughing or does it make it friendly? It works either way.

Not complaining but out of curiousity.

The hah sometime makes it feel like that other person is inferior XD. (Ex: "Poison sux lawl" "Poison IS the best MW, hah.")

Well if so, I seem to get quite a lot from Kai V.

It is just like a "ha", just with an additional "h" at the end. There is no different meaning or pejorative aspect to it than with "ha", and I cannot exactly remember why I started using it as "hah" except that it started at least on Ty Kamara, so more than ten years ago.

It just feels like that in some contexts .

I have no idea why you would take "hah" in a different context than with a "ha" ...

It'd feel the same minus the last H, atleast to me.

The extra "H" ahh! It must stand for the H of Hell!

Or could it mean He Misunderstood?

You would say the extra h if you were following it with a second a; that is how I see it, and I just stop myself at the h instead of at the the first a. In other words, it is an aborted 'haha', and all the intention in the world was there to make it one but I just stop before.

"Ha" sounds more amicable. Especially followed by an exclamation mark. A "yes! I got it!" vibe.

"Hah" sounds more affirmative, borderline condescending if stood alone and followed by a period. An "I got you" vibe.

All of this is very subjective though, context is vital. It's pretty much a signature speech "pattern" for you at this point, though. Like a stamp of Kai-V authenticity.

Adding an extra "a" at the end or beginning of either makes them much lighter and fluffier, though. Which is interesting. It also turns them into what we're used to seeing (aha/haha/or even haa). As it is, hah seems awkward/unfinished.

EDIT: I meant subjective, not objective.

It feels more 'awkward' than either "ha" or "haha". It feels nervous and unsure. I'm not sure why...

I actually feel like its the other way around. "Ha," to me, has a more mocking tone to it while the added "H" makes the sentence it a bit more casual. Either way, I usually go with "haha" because it comes across as the most friendly option, as if I'm genuinely laughing at something someone had to say and not scoffing at them.

But...why am I posting this in Questions About the WBO?

In the previous WBO celebrations, what did the most recent people choose for the Whatever you want prize?

I don't believe that was a prize in previous years.

Kai-V did mention this in the BeyDays 2014 announcement thread, though.

Kai-V Wrote:In addition to those Face Boosters, BeyDays calls for actual physical prizes, oh yes! And we're bringing back...

~ANYTHING YOU WANT~ !!

Hm, I don't remember that in the previous years, but I guess I'm mistaken.

I remember some of the winners getting to choose any booster they wanted, but not ANYTHING they wanted.

They did in a couple previous celebrations . They said anything reasonable.
