The PGCB is probably the most full-of 11-year-olds of all the Comment Boards. Imean, seriously. I couldn't find it now, but some asked everyone to reveal their ages. Most people were 7 or 10

Indeed it was. Sad little 11-year-olds.

Why can't we use the @ symbol? It's perfectly fine, do you really want us all to stop doing this on every single comment board and rather incorporate their names into our posts by use of commas? It's a lot easier and clearer to put an @ symbol, and @ makes probably the most sense to direct text at someone.
Of course, the > symbol is great too (pun intended) but there's no reason why we should not use the @ symbol.

Each site has it's own symbol for a reply or mention or none at all. If it doesn't have one, you should simply mention their name (ex. Well Cod, I think...).
As said before each site has it's own symbol:
Google+: +
Twitter: @
Come up with your own, be creative.

That's cool I guess, as soon as I find it on my keyboard...
Edit: no,we shall do: ~ because the symbol you
Made is not accessible on the iPhone.

Yeah, good luck getting all of the PGCB to accept a new symbol when @ works perfectly fine for all intents and purposes. I for one will continue to use @. Also, youtube.

Lol~PGCB, this is for the forum, and if you don't like it, don't use it, it's okay to be completely empty of all creativity  |

Sure, and so is Youtube. Using a well-established preexisting symbol doesn't mean I'm devoid of creativity any more than your well-established emoticon there shows you are, or my use of the word "hello" instead of some random made-up word. @ in this use has been well-established, not only by Twitter but also by Youtube and countless comment reply systems (anything not advanced enough to use indents, really). Besides, ~ already has a meaning. It means "about" or "approximately". ~PGCB means "about PGCB". If you insist on using a unique symbol, try ! or soemething. !PGCB. Doesn't have the same "At" thing, though. @pgcb is even pronounced "At PGCB", whereas ~PGCB is something else entirely. Put simply: @ is a symbol DESIGNED to mean "at". It's pronounced at. It's designed to signify the website to be found in an email, sure, but it has a new meaning. Using it when targeting a message toward a specific person is no less creative than saying "lol" or using " ". Not using it just because it's "mainstream" or "too well-used" is just a hipster way of thinking, and nobody likes hipsters. |

For literally like every other comment on the PGCB and PGCB2 you could make a post on here. On the SRCB the comment board is mostly free of idiots, except for the occasional person that attempts to troll.

I can't respect someone that does not use punctuation. We should ask for these people to read their own comments aloud and see if they can do it in one breath.

Even if you talk too fast you still have to take a breath.
